The 1993 video game Doom was one of the earliest first-person shooter games and popularized the genre. It has become a hobby among eccentric engineers to play the game on unconventional platforms, such as a chainsaw, a rotary phone, and a cooking pot.
It was only a matter of time before the engineers started to go too far. Now, New Scientist reports, the Australian firm Cortical Labs has been able to run the game of Doom on human brain tissue.
In 2021, the company was able to recreate the vintage game Pong with human brain cells. That took enormous effort over a long period of time. Thanks to technological advancements, a programmer named Sean Cole was able to code the game with Python into the brain tissue.
Perhaps the next step will be to run Doom on a human brain still inside its standard casing. Such as yours.
