Like this is not trying to be like, "Oh, you didn't do anything." Sometimes it's pretty cool. Sometimes our reviewers are like, "Yeah, you didn't do anything." Oh, yeah. That's not what we're saying. It's just that there's a nuance about the really cool thing that is being done and then the CNN news headline that says, "Brain on a chip is playing Doom." >> Yeah. >> Which is not >> Yeah. quite accurate. >> Yeah. Exactly. And so, you know, and on this podcast, we're in the business of like just talking about what was done.

Yes. >> That it's the neurons that are playing Doom and not some small artificial neural network. Right. >> Not a lot of details. So, I'm looking forward to hopefully >> a peer-reviewed scientific paper. You know, >> if Cortical Labs, if you want us to come over to Melbourne, I think it's Melbourne. >> Yeah, it's Melbourne. uh come in and do some coverage as you prepare for release of a research paper. We are more than happy to join you and have the opportunity to learn more. Uh if you we

Do we have a comment for the community today for folks to comment on

1:12:26what game do you want to see? >> Oh, that's a good one. Yeah. >> What game would you like to see the brain on a chip play next? Doom was number one. What's number two? I know what my thought is. Maybe we'll share it next episode. >> Yeah. >> I'm your host, Lester Nari, joined as always by my co-host and our resident PhD, Krishna Chowdery.
