Live biological neurons show more about how a brain works than AI ever will.
Scientists have shown for the first time that 800,000 brain cells living in a dish can perform goal-directed tasks. In this case, they played the simple tennis-like computer game, Pong. The results of the Melbourne-led study are published today (October 12) in the journal Neuron.
Now the researchers are going to investigate what happens when their DishBrain is affected by medicines and alcohol.
