the headline is neurons playing Doom. the actual story is a working bidirectional interface where spikes get read as motor commands in real time. that's not a demo, that's architecture.

The detail about specific electrodes firing when a demon appears on the left is what makes this so unsettling and fascinating at the same time. Do you think we are closer to hybrid biocomputing than most people realize?

So instead of running trivial code like playing doom (who needs that) for free on 1980s hardware, anyone would pay for this? The actual computation is trivial probably 50 lines of code if then loops. It doesn’t “see” or anything.

EINSTEIN’S BRAIN AND THE NEURONS THAT TAUGHT THEMSELVES PONG When Einstein died, scientists studied his brain to see what set it apart. Most of it looked ordinary, except for one thing: the folds. His brain had far more of them than average. More folds meant more surface area, and more surface area meant more neurons. The difference was concentrated in his parietal lobes, the regions tied to math and spatial reasoning. Genius left a trace, but it was subtle, hidden in structure rather than size. Decades later, another mystery arrived. In 2022, researchers at Cortical Labs grew human neurons in a Petri dish and wired them to a chip running the game Pong. There was no human player, no brain, and no mind, just cells, signals, and feedback. Yet somehow, the neurons learned. The longer they played, the better they became. That forced an uncomfortable question: how does a group of disconnected neurons know how to play a game it has never seen. The answer is still unclear. Einstein’s brain revealed how intelligence can be built. Source: Joe Rogan

THE FLY BRAIN ESCAPED THE COMPUTER. I PUT IT INSIDE A PHYSICAL ROBOT. Scientists released a reconstructed map containing 166,700 neurons from a fruit fly. I connected it to a Strandbeest. The panel in the top-right shows the simulated brain running. Its neural activity is translated into motor commands that move the mechanical legs below. The catch: this is a computational model built from biological wiring. I engineered the interface connecting its outputs to the robot. First, the fly brain entered DOOM. Then it played Chrome Dino. Now it has a physical body. 166,700 neurons. 25 million connections. One nervous system walking through the real world.

Scientists used 200,000 human brain cells to play DOOM. The cells had never seen a computer. They learned in real time. They got better. Separately: an entire fruit fly brain, 139,000 neurons, 50 million connections, was copied into a laptop. It predicts real brain responses with 90%+ accuracy. The biological computing timeline: 2021 → neurons learn Pong 2022 → fruit fly brain fully mapped 2024 → entire fly brain simulated on a laptop 2026 → human brain cells play DOOM A GPU needs ~700W to run an LLM. The brain runs the whole show on 20W. We're spending trillions on building the next giant AI training computer but what if the solution to our energy needs was just copying the technology already running in our heads?

$BRAIN just got a real brain. v0.4.0 runs the full MaleCNS v1.0 connectome: 166,700 neurons and 124M synapses firing in one spiking simulation. Camera motion now reaches identified fly visual neurons, travels through the wiring, and triggers real escape and steering circuits that produce motor commands. The loop already runs up to 6.5x real time on an RTX 3050. Shuffle the connectome and the behaviour vanishes. The wiring is doing the work. Next up: transaction → sensory neurons → 166,700-neuron brain → movement

They are now making fruit flies write. They are even using them to create entire fonts. The method is surprisingly fascinating. First, an image of a letter is projected into the fruit fly’s eye. The visual information is transmitted through its visual neurons and processed by a trained neural network connected to its neural circuitry. The resulting signal is then sent to the motor neurons controlling the fly’s right foreleg. Those motor neurons activate the leg muscles, causing the fly to move its foreleg in a specific pattern that traces the shape of the letter. A tiny black pen is attached to the foreleg, allowing the movement to leave an actual written mark on the surface. In other words, visual information enters through the fly’s eyes, is translated into neural commands, and ultimately becomes physical handwriting through its own muscles. Researchers have even used this system to create fonts based on the letters drawn by fruit flies. At this point, I’m becoming increasingly curious about what else fruit flies could be made to do.

Dyno Therapeutics co-founder Sam Sinai on how his team cracked the blood-brain barrier well enough to reach 50% of neurons with a single injection: "For brain specifically, the brain has this extra layer of defense called the blood brain barrier. It's really put there to prevent anything to get in." "What we have done is actually in primates we can show that we can get up more than 50% of neurons, through a systemic injection." "You're just injecting in the veins, and then the virus actually makes its way into the brain." "Neurons are a primary target, but it could be in some cases glial cells, depending on the disease. Solving pan brain, meaning all of brain delivery, is a key objective there."

These neurons enable us to "simulate" or experience the emotions & feelings of others. For example when you observe someone else receiving a massage, your mirror neurons can fire in your brain as a result. It is as if you are experiencing the massage yourself.

And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

I GAVE A DRONE THE BRAIN OF A FRUIT FLY Not a toy network with a handful of fake neurons. The actual wiring diagram of a real fly. 166,700 neurons, 25.6 million connections, mapped one synapse at a time. I call it FlyDrones. The drone's camera becomes the fly's eyes. Motion lights up the same neurons a real fly uses to see. Spikes race through the connectome down to the neurons that drive the wings. Those spikes become throttle and yaw. The brain has zero lines of flight code, just wiring. Swing a fly swatter at it. If the giant fiber (the fly's escape neuron) fires in time, the drone dodges. Open palm, fist, rush at the camera and it reacts like a fly. Built for Tello, Crazyflie, ArduPilot/PX4 and Betaflight quads via ESP32. Code is MIT, powered by Claude. Fork it and give your drone a brain.

No reward function. No weights. Just wiring that evolved over 300 million years, ripped out of a bug and pointed at a PlayStation game. Neural latency: 7.8ms. Real-time factor: 0.99x.

A new study is asking the question that should have been asked before a single dose was ever administered. "Aluminum Adjuvants, Autoimmunity and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Comprehensive Mechanistic, Neuropathological and Legal Analysis." Here's what it connects. Autopsy studies of autistic brains show that 63-64% had evidence of autoimmune encephalitis, the immune system producing lymphocytes that attack and destroy neurons, creating brain injury that manifests as autism. On the other side of the equation: aluminum adjuvants are added to vaccines specifically to amplify the immune response. They were added without anyone fully understanding the mechanism. Inject aluminum, the immune response magnifies... and nobody asked what else was being inflamed in the process. Here's what they missed. When inflammation occurs, the entire body is affected, including the brain. The neuroinflammation piece was simply neglected. They looked at the inflammatory cells that hastened and magnified the immune response and stopped there. The studies intended to establish aluminum's safety did a fine job of demonstrating its efficacy. They really, really screwed up on safe. Watch the full segment at

Ever wondered what neural networks are and how they work? Systems like ChatGPT use neural networks to work as well as they do. Neural networks are composed of "layers" of neurons, layers with different functions; connections between layers called "weights"; and mathematical functions called "activation functions". If you’re interested in learning about these systems, check the comments. Ultimately, the neural network structure of the model serves to visually demonstrate that it is, in fact, a complex mathematical equation. When companies release the model's weights, they are releasing a key component needed to run the model's complete equation. Without the weights, the equation is incomplete. For the math-minded: the weights of a model are the learned numbers (they are variables during training) that are then used as constants in the mathematical functions that make up the model. Neural networks are ultimately just one big, hyper-complex mathematical function, and when a model is trained, it learns the constants associated with the high-dimensional input.
