Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

How many brain cells does it take to play a game of Doom?

A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

Melbourne startup Cortical Labs uses 200,000 human brain cells in a petri dish to play Doom by translating game data into electrical signals.

You've heard of hardware. But have you heard of "wetware?" The post New Data Centers Will Be Powered by Human Brain Cells ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have achieved a remarkable feat that blurs the lines between biology and technology. Cortical Labs has cultivated 800K brain cells in a petri dish, ...

In 2024, Elon Musk's Neuralink implant allowed a quadriplegic patient to play RuneScape and Slay the Spire in his brain. But now, scientists are taking things further, training lab-grown brain cells ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...
