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

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, ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 computer platform that runs on human neurons (and recently showed off said neurons’ ability to play DOOM) now wants in on the data center boom. Australia-based Cortical Labs announced today that it ...

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 ...

Cortical Labs is building two data centres that will house its neuron-filled chips. The technology is still in the very early stages of development ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

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

The kick-off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a ...
