Australian researchers teach brain cells to play 'Doom'
Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the nineties shooter game “Doom.”
It’s the work of biotech boffins at Cortical Labs, who researched and developed the technology that harnesses the workings of the brain’s networking system.
Each so-called “biological computer” contains around 200,000 living human brain cells, grown from stem cells.
“Doom” involves a chaotic 3D game-world where the user is required to explore its surroundings and dispatch enemies.
