Researchers have taught lab-grown brain cells how to play Pong.
Scientists at Australian company Cortical Labs, which which conducts research into the use of biology in AI, reported their findings yesterday in Neuron, a peer-reviewed neuroscience journal.
Their paper, titled "In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world", claimed the cultivated brain showed "apparent learning within five minutes of real-time gameplay".
