Been less than 2 years since @dr1337 came to visit us.
Back then his DishBrain organoid computer could play Pong.

Now it can play Doom!

Maybe 18 months from now it can play EVE Online?

Science fact sure is challencing us that make science fiction!

Brain cells in a dish playing...DOOM?

A recent graduate, Sean, used our CL API to get living neural cultures to play Doom.

And just in a few days...

Biological neural systems as an information processor has moved off the lab-bench and onto your laptop.

We’ve been a little quiet at @CorticalLabs for a while as we cook up some delicious APIs for developers to work with the CL1 both on device and on the cloud. Here’s what someone did with 10 days of access to a CL1 via the Cortical Cloud announcement - https://t.co/IqGkMn9o4G

[Hon Weng Chong @dr1337]

Incredibly proud to see the team at Cortical Labs release the CL-API white paper on arXiv. Check it out here https://t.co/7qXkmpw0Hz for the whitepaper and get started with the CL-SDK on GitHub - https://t.co/re9brE9dct

[Cortical Labs @CorticalLabs]

For the developers at #talentarena - come see the API and SDK for building biological computing devices at Cortical Labs #mwc25 in Hall 6 at booth 6E51

Australia is home to a flourishing startup scene. It's flush with companies focused on improving healthcare outcomes, not only for people in Australia, but everywhere in the world. #AWS cloud technologies are helping to accelerate both research and innovation in this space, and it all starts with the brain. https://t.co/ZK7wNqXGZE
