Brain Cells Meet AI: The DishBrain Experiment

This chapter explores the innovative DishBrain experiment, where scientists use living neurons on a silicon chip to play Pong, revealing insights into learning and behavior. It highlights how the brain cells adapt and improve their game performance through a reward system, bridging biology and artificial intelligence. Additionally, the chapter discusses the development and ethical implications of brain organoids, especially their integration into rat brains for studying sensory processing and neurological disorders.
