A dish of living brain cells has learned to play the 1970s arcade game Pong. About 800,000 cells linked to a computer gradually learned to sense the position of the game's electronic ball and control ...

Scientists have taught a collection of brain cells living in a dish how to play a version of the arcade game pong. The research could one day give doctors a ‘sandbox’ with which to test treatments for ...

Scientists have successfully taught a collection of human brain cells in a petri dish how to play the video game “Pong” — kind of. “We think it’s fair to call them cyborg brains,” Brett Kagan, chief ...

Researchers who grew a brain cell culture in a lab claim that they taught the cells to play a version of Pong. Scientists from a biotech startup called Cortical Labs say it's the first demonstrated ...

Scientists grew human brain cells that integrated themselves with a silicon computer chip and simulated a world similar to the classic video game Pong. Within five minutes, the neurons learned how to ...
