A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

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

A new brain-imaging study has revealed how ketamine produces its fast antidepressant effects in people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers tracked changes in a critical brain receptor ...

Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

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 ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

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 ...

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

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 ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...
