🧠 Cortical Labs connects 200,000 human neurons to play DOOM

Cortical Labs placed about 200,000 human brain cells in a petri dish and connected them to a computer running DOOM.

Game data is converted into electrical signals and sent to the neurons. Their activity is translated back into commands for movement, aiming, and shooting. Through feedback the neural network gradually learns to navigate the 3D environment.

The system uses biological neurons instead of digital neural networks. Human brains consume far less energy than modern AI systems.

Energy limits remain a major constraint for scaling AI.
