Scientists at Cortical Labs have taught a horrifying mass of brain cells to play Pong.
I suck at Pong, but apparently if you take my brain out of my skull, mash it up until it’s nothing more than a pile of cells, and hook it up to a computer, I might actually be good at it. Scientists at Cortical Labs have done just that, sort of, by teaching brain cells to play the simple game Pong.
However they managed to stimulate the individual brain cells with electricity, it worked. Dishbrain began to learn how to play Pong within five minutes of the beginning of the project. They used basic Pavlovian methods to teach the gooey brain. If it hit the ball, the cells received a regular electrical stimulus. If it missed, it received random electrical signal spikes.
Granted, playing Pong isn’t as impressive as surviving a round of Warzone or advancing through Elden Ring, and the researchers noted the brain was rather bad at the game. But this is a start.
