Metaverse Updates: Australian scientists have connected the culture of brain cells to a computer. They got it to play the video game Pong, a significant milestone for biological computing.
The experiment, dubbed DishBrain, comprises some 800,000 brain cells cultured from rodent and human stem cells connected to a software interface.
Location is communicated to DishBrain by stimulating the cell culture’s sensory regions. The cells fire one set of motor neurons to move the paddle up and another set to move it down.
