Title: Dr Alon Loeffler – We don’t just go and take people’s cells from their brains (from 10:09 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Dr Alon Loeffler, Postdoctoral Scientist at Cortical Labs in Melbourne, about the research being conducted there. Alon describes earlier published studies demonstrating that human brain cells - derived from stem cells - integrated into a digital environment were able to receive signals and send responses, and within minutes learn to play the computer game, Pong (a paddle and ball game). The so-called human-computer hybrid is being taught to ‘read’ handwriting and play Doom, a more sophisticated computer game. Alon also describes how the hybrid has been used to compare the efficacy of anti-epileptic drugs. Referred to as synthetic biological intelligence, the system has been incorporated into a commercially available device.
