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, ...

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 ...

Forget playing Doom on a calculator. Now you can play it with a clump of brain cells--no brainstem necessary.

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the complex interactions between brain cells. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU) ...

"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 ...

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

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

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 ...
