Watch braincells in a dish learn to play Pong in real time neurocellpress
A microscopy image of neural cells where fluorescent markers show different types of cells. Green marks neurons and axons, purple marks neurons, red marks dendrites, and blue marks all cells. Where multiple markers are present, colors are merged and typically appear as yellow or pink depending on the proportion of markers, credit Cortical Labs. Credit: Cortical Labs
This video shows the game Pong being controlled by a layer of neurons in a dish. Credit: Kagan et. al / Neuron By building a living model brain from basic structures in this way, scientists will be able to experiment using real brain function rather than flawed analogous models like a computer. That potentially opens the door for completely new ways of understanding what is happening with the brain.to perform a task in which they exhibit sentience—by controlling the paddle to return the ball via sensing—opens up new discovery possibilities which will have far-reaching consequences for technology, health, and society," says Dr. Adeel Razi, director of Monash University's Computational & Systems Neuroscience Laboratory.
