In this episode of AI For Pharma Growth, Dr Andree Bates is joined by Hon Weng Chong, M.D., the founder of Cortical Labs. They discuss the inception of Cortical Labs and how the company is responsible for the creation of DishBrain, a powerful computational neuron system using human brain cells. Eventually, this cellular neuron system became so adaptive and responsive, it learned how to play the classic video game Pong.

Beginning with the use of mouse brain cells, the development and implementation of DishBrain expanded into a complex system that responds to feedback from its surroundings. This episode delves into how Hon undertook this journey, got inspiration and made DishBrain the highly advanced system it is now. They also discuss potential widespread effects of using a brain-computer interface and what this could mean for science and technology.

In this episode you will learn:

How DishBrain uses neurons to influence its adaptive learning process
Hon’s background and what inspired him to explore and build this system
The future potential of this incredible feat of cellular technology, and brain-computer interfaces generally
How certain drugs and medications affected the development and learning processes of DishBrain
The neurons used in this system and their level of activity and consciousness
