TIL you can buy human neurons
For the right price you can buy just about anything as long as you know what vendor to use!
You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a toe by this afternoon--with nail polish. These fucking amateurs!
Forget about the fucking toe man!
Excuse me Sir. Can you please keep your voices down. This is a family establishment.
The experiment uses cortical rat neurons, because of their affordability and because they can learn well enough for these purposes (you too can order a million frozen rat neurons online, what a world). Yes, you could use human neurons to the same end, and no doubt someone watching this video will be off to order some imminently, but they're expensive and almost seem overkill because playing Doom can be stripped-down to relatively simple yes / no patterns.
Is this real life?
