Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom ...

KTALnews.com (KTAL/KMSS) – The original “Doom” (1993) is one of the most influential video games of all time. It is also notorious for being able to run on basically anything from calculators to ...

While the world focuses on the power consumption of massive AI data centers, researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are looking at a more efficient alternative: the human brain.

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 ...

Cortical Labs uses human brain cells attached to silicon chips to create biological computers that could offer energy ...

Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...
