@@BiggityBoggity8095 Okay can i have your truth about what you claim ?? Because i never played dooms but have digg into a lot a video that explain dooms ! And to what i know it is not 3d at all ! Only 2d image pre selected through the view of the player to only render a multi 2d image "collage" or paste together ! That why dooms can be play on a electronic pregnancy test of even electric thermometer ! And if you say well there is stair and level .... Well yes but it still in 2d ! When you use a elevator or a doors sometime the game teleport you to a another location in a 2d map ! what you see is only a 2d rendering and the clever trick of John carmack (wich is not is own idea there is a github explain the code to anyone with a goode levl in math ) is to only a reverse square formula to skip the impossible 3d rendering they were aiming to do ! Just think about it it was a time were Graphic card wasnt even at 1gig of ram for the randoms pc owner ! But i'll be more than happy to be wrong and learn a feww things about it ! But i'm sure the first 3d engine weren't 3d at all and use a trick to rendering false 3d ! You know that's why you can't have bullet impact on the wall or smoke grenade ... it's particule rendering or 3d object with own physic wich the game can copy and lie about but can not do by the way redering doom is ; Just like the video say the game is 2d :/
Imagine having different batches compete against each other in Quake. Then through years of tweaking and improving generations of this, you create the ultimate force of gaming neurons.
i think if you can play doom you can run doom because you're experiencing it which I think would mean you're simulating what you're experiencing in your head (to some degree)
i remember watching the rat cells control the flight simulator like 17 years ago on the science channel. i'm so glad that you have revived this and brought it back to people's attention.
This is absolutely stunning on my opinion. The fact that this can be a real, living thing with very primitive intelligence, and it learns how to play a geme. But at the same time, this is funny because just imagine you wake up and you're just Doom guy
It's highly exaggerated. Most functioning, like the idea of aiming and firing is based on binary computer logic. Only dedicated decision-making might add a tiny bit to what otherwise would be a program with some RNG-trickery.
@@chilling_at_pontiffThe number of cells has very little to do with their function. A dog's brain is way bigger than a rat's, but they aren't significantly smarter.
It's cool you guys are using Intan. I do neuroscience research at a university and Intan is our go-to for ephys stuff. The RHS system is really nice being able to stim and record at the same time.

@@Nerdnumberone I would assume human neurons are better at doing what they do because they need to organize in a more complex way in the brain and so they are better at creating useful connections... As for the pain thing I think that you would need to have a real brain to have the "pain problem": it would have to be really complex to begin suffering I think, and also if you tune the system right even if it had self consciousness (that I think is needed to suffer) you would not need to make it really suffer: it's enough to make an error create an unpleasant situation and a correct response a pleasant one I think, no need for pain
Doom was all about demonic living tissue being fused to machinery, the fact that its the game you use to test all of this is simply amazing! This project is incredible and I truly believe in the near future it will be fully appreciated. Keep up the AMAZING work!!!
@@Dejawolfs He's referring to the cyberdemon, the revenant, the spider mastermind, the arachnotrons, the mancubus and the icon of sin, along with the various instances of some sections of levels having demonic meat tissue growing inside of man made structures and "infecting" them.

The brain in a vat is a philosophical thought experiment and while certainly interesting, shall remain as such for quite a while, as keeping a mammalian brain alive in vitro would require some substantial leaps in science - not even mentioning the ethical concerns. Grown neuronal networks have nothing compared to the highly specialized cell types, nuclei and networks (and much more) we possess.
@thethoughtemporium I downloaded this video to watch on my commute and I felt compelled to come here and write a comment. Watching those fluorescent neurons gave me some sort of nostalgia I haven't experienced before, it was as if the neurons in my brain remember the time when we were single celled organisms and had to work and compete with each other for survival. Seeing those dendrites made me think of the cosmos as a whole and how galaxies tend to form these super clusters that they too are connected to each other through their own special "dendrites" of plasma and magnetic filaments. The saying "as above so below" could not be more true! The work that you are doing is akin to what alchemists in the past have tried to achieve except the philosophers stone in this context is a fully functional cyborg
Imagine if a super intelligent AI exterminated all humans except for a select few and they genetically modify them into living computers to live out the pain and suffering of being made up of several trillion wires spread out across several kilometers. That’s what I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is. Seems like something fun the Qu would do though.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 exactly. It brings the 'living in a simulation' hypothesis very close to home and I guess that is, to me, the most unsettling part. This isn't fiction, this is becoming reality, right here and now.

This reminds me of a thought experiment we had in philosophy, “Are we just brains in a vat?”. This video certainly puts things in a whole new perspective for me.
Imagine the rat neurons gain self-consciousness and then thinks that it is in a vat. Then some neurons agree but some disagree, and they/it will never know if it is in a computer. Really bends the definition of reality.
Literally mythought though 😂 tell me thats not what we are now 😂 they can attach the nuerons to a meat suit or a robot, we are biological technology, biological being what we can "natural" 😂
Its interesting; I think that if the neurons that were being used as the AI to train to play DOOM were to become somehow sentient, that "brain" would, from a philosophical perspective, be able to perceive only the world of DOOM that it is connected to. Really makes simulation theory sound a lot more weird if we think of it in this type of context, lol!
@@thomabow8949 ah my mistake, you're right. I guess I meant brain in the metaphorical sense as a collection of neurons forming one? Idk I'm not a neurologist
Ok so this video taught me something. I have ADHD and get Overstimulated A LOT and when I do it’s chaotic noise and unintelligible yelling. The noise is chaotic and you said that neurons naturally try to avoid that and i definitely avoid being overstimulated so I bet that my brain is trying to get me to un-overstimulate myself
I think that it would not be that more difficult than what they are doing (obviously it is incredible in general)(I do not know basically anything on the subject apart from what they explained in the video): I think they would "just" have to make the thing bigger and write some more code that would still be similar, then I think, given that the smaller version works properly, that it should be able to play Minecraft, or at least perform relatively simple tasks in the game, like mining
Imagine playing a multiplayer game someday, and you just get destroyed by literal neurons Edit: Istg people need to understand why I said *literal neurons* and not neurons controlling a human body 💀
To be fair, we are basically neurons making controlled seizures (or shocks, heh) to a hunk of meat. Ennard controlling a corpse husk makes more sense now.
@@soupcangaming662just imagine how our flesh is miserable in gaming compared to naked neurones, while we have to see a threat, send a signal for our hand to contract index finger so that we shoot it, neurones basically see threats and shoot immediately

@@lastyhopper2792 But they would be genetically identical. Yes, they're only a couple thousand neurons but you could eventually make them larger. Where do you draw the line from a cluster of cells to a lab grown human without a body?
@@hae9903 Did I interpret sgtmajorkiwi's "reflect" differently from you? Anyhow, the answer to your question is I don't know. I believe the one who is responsible to find the answer to that question would be these scientists who are currently experimenting with biological brains. They have the ethical responsibility to prevent a conscious being from undergoing involuntary experiments.
Now I'm thinking "what if I'm just a ball of neurons in some simulation to see how far they can push a ball or neurons?". Right back into existential crisis mode lmao
There's a trick to increase adhesion of PDMS to glass slabs, which is to treat the glass slab with plasma. Might help with the leakage of the biological glue. Maybe even PDMS serves as a good substitute.
So let me get this straight: you guys are gonna grow Metroid clones of yourselves out of your own skin cells, and then train them to play competitive deathmatch against each other? Finally, the future's starting to seem interesting
We tried to do this about 10 years ago at friend's home lab but it was hard for us to manufacture at home a decent PCB net. We didn't have nice low noise amps back then so we said fuck it and connect it to vacuum valve triodes and to the magic eye tubes, so it glowed randomly as neurons would fire. That was a cool looking thing, straight outta Frankenstein.
One thing that might be interesting to test is the effects of Psilocybin during training. In humans it supposedly allows our neurons to rewire and communicate differently leading to neuroplacisity
Maybe for first few years, but then, I think that a "feeding network" will be established. Sidenote: Imagine if living blocks became literal living blocks. Will their walls be out of bones?
What I like about this is that it's like a simplified research paper, but just made so that many people feel as if it's digestible and understandable. It helps that there are pop culture things to attach to as well (games), but I really started thinking that many research papers could be presented this way in the future if we open our minds a little (heh). Amazing work and thank you for the video!
The concept of a cyborg in science fiction has never, as far as I know, started with a machine and added organs to it. So this is really neat, if a little scary
It has a few times, but it's very rare. For example, in the Eclipse Phase TTRPG your character can be an AI that saved up money from it's dayjob of managing social media for a megacorp and left cyberspace in an artificially made biological body it bought to walk around in the "real" world with, because it wants to LARP as a street samurai.
What about the T-800 terminator? It has a skeletal form that is 100% a machine, and living tissue can be added on top of it to turn it into an infiltrator terminator
@@kydelvetus642I think the lack of meaningful connection to the machine makes it not a cyborg. It's a full machine, it's just wearing skin like a costume.

@@BiggityBoggity8095 Okay can i have your truth about what you claim ?? Because i never played dooms but have digg into a lot a video that explain dooms ! And to what i know it is not 3d at all ! Only 2d image pre selected through the view of the player to only render a multi 2d image "collage" or paste together ! That why dooms can be play on a electronic pregnancy test of even electric thermometer ! And if you say well there is stair and level .... Well yes but it still in 2d ! When you use a elevator or a doors sometime the game teleport you to a another location in a 2d map ! what you see is only a 2d rendering and the clever trick of John carmack (wich is not is own idea there is a github explain the code to anyone with a goode levl in math ) is to only a reverse square formula to skip the impossible 3d rendering they were aiming to do ! Just think about it it was a time were Graphic card wasnt even at 1gig of ram for the randoms pc owner ! But i'll be more than happy to be wrong and learn a feww things about it ! But i'm sure the first 3d engine weren't 3d at all and use a trick to rendering false 3d ! You know that's why you can't have bullet impact on the wall or smoke grenade ... it's particule rendering or 3d object with own physic wich the game can copy and lie about but can not do by the way redering doom is ; Just like the video say the game is 2d :/

How complex does an array of rat neurons have to get before "negative reinforcement" becomes "pain"?
Also, does using human neurons matter at this point, or is it more a matter of how many neurons you can cram into it?
@@Nerdnumberone I would assume human neurons are better at doing what they do because they need to organize in a more complex way in the brain and so they are better at creating useful connections... As for the pain thing I think that you would need to have a real brain to have the "pain problem": it would have to be really complex to begin suffering I think, and also if you tune the system right even if it had self consciousness (that I think is needed to suffer) you would not need to make it really suffer: it's enough to make an error create an unpleasant situation and a correct response a pleasant one I think, no need for pain

@thethoughtemporium I downloaded this video to watch on my commute and I felt compelled to come here and write a comment. Watching those fluorescent neurons gave me some sort of nostalgia I haven't experienced before, it was as if the neurons in my brain remember the time when we were single celled organisms and had to work and compete with each other for survival. Seeing those dendrites made me think of the cosmos as a whole and how galaxies tend to form these super clusters that they too are connected to each other through their own special "dendrites" of plasma and magnetic filaments. The saying "as above so below" could not be more true! The work that you are doing is akin to what alchemists in the past have tried to achieve except the philosophers stone in this context is a fully functional cyborg
This project is unsettling in the most exquisite way possible and I love it. Giving off heavy "I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream" vibes.
Imagine if a super intelligent AI exterminated all humans except for a select few and they genetically modify them into living computers to live out the pain and suffering of being made up of several trillion wires spread out across several kilometers. That’s what I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is. Seems like something fun the Qu would do though.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 exactly. It brings the 'living in a simulation' hypothesis very close to home and I guess that is, to me, the most unsettling part. This isn't fiction, this is becoming reality, right here and now.
tbh, it isn't as horrifying as people seem to make it out to be. After all, we're literally masses of neurons.
I guess maybe because ive experienced ego death before, I realize how extremely uneducated and ignorant you people are in the scheme of things. Just running in circles, killing things and torturing for eons and eons... Then being killed and tortured by those same creatures... Literally never learning from your own mistakes. Because you are unintelligent, and cringe.

Please keep up the good work! I don't want to wait a few more years for the next one.
Even if it can be done outside specialised centres the equipment needed is quite expensive so it's not reachable to everybody.

This reminds me of a thought experiment we had in philosophy, “Are we just brains in a vat?”. This video certainly puts things in a whole new perspective for me.
Imagine the rat neurons gain self-consciousness and then thinks that it is in a vat. Then some neurons agree but some disagree, and they/it will never know if it is in a computer. Really bends the definition of reality.
You took philosophy.
