200,000 Human Neurons Learned to Play Doom, Pointing to Low-Power Biological Computing

Cortical Labs connected 200,000 human neurons grown from blood-derived stem cells to its CL1 silicon interface, teaching the culture to navigate and shoot in Doom. By translating the game’s state into electrical patterns and reading neural spikes as commands, the system improved with training, pointing to low-power biological computing even as current neuron-chip setups last […]
