Turns out, neurons can play Pong. Researchers say the experimental setup is a new way to study how the brain works and to potentially better understand epilepsy and other diseases.
Neurons can play Pong, a team of scientists reported on Wednesday.The researchers say the experimental setup is a new way to study how the brain works and to potentially better understand epilepsy and other diseases.Researchers at the Melbourne-based startup Cortical Labs grew mouse and human neurons on a "DishBrain"— an array of electrodes that can read the electrical activity of the neurons to move the paddle.
It can also deliver an electrical pulse to the cells that provides feedback — in under 5 milliseconds — that the neuron was hitting the ball.Human neurons could rally longer than mouse neurons."can adjust firing activity in a way that suggests the ability to learn to perform goal-oriented tasks," the team

Minibrains grown from human and mouse neurons learn to play PongHarry is a U.K.-based staff writer at Live Science. He studied Marine Biology at the University of Exeter (Penryn campus) and after graduating started his own blog site 'Marine Madness,' which he continues to run with other ocean enthusiasts. He is also interested in evolution, climate change, robots, space exploration, environmental conservation and anything that's been fossilized. When not at work he can be found watching sci-fi films, playing old Pokemon games or running (probably slower than he'd like).
