Can it play Doom? This biocomputer built on human brain cells just learned to shoot demons, but not everyone's…

Cortical Labs has developed a biocomputer, the CL1, utilizing 200,000 human neurons on a microchip, which has learned to play the video game Doom. The system directly interfaces with the game, interpreting electrical stimulation patterns from the neurons as motor commands to navigate and shoot. While the biocomputer can perform these actions, there is ongoing debate about whether this constitutes true 'playing' or 'learning' as the performance is rudimentary.
