No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

If look at the computer screen, it looks like any other gaming session from the 1990s. But if you look at who (or what) is playing the game, there’s nothing normal about it. Researchers at Australian ...

Scientists at Cortical Labs attached 200,000 living human brain cells to a microchip and set it up to play Doom, the first-person shooter game. Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a ...

Biological computing, a field in which living human neurons interface with silicon hardware, is progressing from proof of concept to early functional systems, with broad implications for computing ...

In 2022, Cortical Labs demonstrated a culture of lab-grown human brain cells playing Pong. Now the company claims it has trained its CL-1 chip, composed of 200,000 neurons, to play Doom. Data from the ...

In February Cortical Labs, an Australian startup, announced that a programmer had taught one of its “biological computers”—made of 200,000 human brain cells mounted on a silicon chip—to play “Doom”, a ...

What just happened? Following news that its human brain cell-powered computer can run Doom, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has announced it is working on two small data centers running on ...
