In the most cursed glow-up since someone decided to put pineapple on pizza, scientists have trained a petri dish full of living human brain cells to play Doom—like, the actual 1993 demon-slaying classic. These mini-brains aren’t pros yet (they play like your drunk uncle on a first try), but they can shoot, spin, and hunt enemies by firing electrical patterns that translate to “pew pew” in neuron-speak. It’s biology vs. silicon in the ultimate boss fight, and the cells are somehow winning at being terrifyingly adaptive. Next stop: neurons speedrunning Elden Ring?
