A system called “DishBrain” could be important for testing epilepsy and dementia drugs in the future.
Scientists have taught 800,000 living brain cells in a dish how to play the iconic arcade game “Pong.”
“We can kind of decode information going out and encode information going in just through these very small electrical signals and use that to represent what’s happening to the cells,” says Brett Kagan, chief scientific officer of biotech start-uppaper. “Video games help people understand what’s going on. If we simply did it as a function of random numbers, people wouldn’t appreciate or understand the significance of the results.
“We want to show that there’s a dose response curve on their ability to play the game as a way of validating that these neurons can be used in actual drug assays and discoveries and also for personalized medicine,” says Chong., it had a goal of building biological computer chips.
