Human brain cells… playing a video game.
Not AI.
Not a simulation.
Actual living neurons.
In this clip, ThePrimeagen reacts to a research article that shows how scientists have placed human brain cells on a silicon chip and connected them to a computer interface.
Within about a week, the neurons began learning how to interact with the environment and play the classic game DOOM.
This emerging field is called biological computing (or organoid intelligence).
Instead of relying solely on silicon processors, such as GPUs and CPUs, researchers are exploring systems where living neurons process information.
Scientists believe this research could help with:
• Understanding how the brain learns
• Creating more energy-efficient computing
• Building new types of intelligent systems
Although it’s still in the early stages of research, it raises a significant question about the future of computing.
What happens when biology and computers start merging?
