Australian researchers used lab-grown neurons on a silicon chip to interact with the 1990s video game Doom. @AFP reported that the researchers described the experiment as an early step and said they are just scratching the surface of what the neurons could be capable of doing. The brain cells used in the project are lab-grown, and the video game selected for the test is Doom, the 1990s shooter.
