Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

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 ...

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 ...

In a wild experiment, it turns out a few human neurons linked up to some custom silicon can actually play Doom.
