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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

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 ...

Biotech startup Cortical Labs is working on two small data centers run by human brain cells, putting lab-grown neurons onto silicon in an experiment that could one day challenge chips from the likes ...
