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.

A new study has uncovered why some brain cells are more resistant to Alzheimer’s damage than others. Researchers found a natural cleanup system that helps remove toxic tau protein before it can form ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game without the benefit of eyes, ears, or any kind of sensory input. It's a far ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

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 ...

Lab-grown mini-brains learned to play video games using electrical signals, improving from 4.5% to 46% success in AI balance tests.

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Scientists have demonstrated that human brain cells grown on a microchip can learn to play id Software’s classic first-person shooter.

Researchers at a Melbourne start-up have taught their “biological computer” made from living human brain cells to play Doom.

Researchers discovered that clearing out certain digestive bacteria with antibiotics helps calm the immune system. This temporary microbial shift protected mice from severe brain swelling and cellular ...
