In the begining….
Hi, welcome to my new blog, where I’m taking you on an incredible journey into the world of neuroscience and bioengineering! This fascination began with a random YouTube video recommendation, “Growing Living Rat Neurons To Play… DOOM?”. This somewhat ambitious project discussed training a petri dish of rat neurons to play the classic first-person shooter DOOM. This led me to the first of these “Dish Brain” experiments, “How These Brain Cells In a Petri Dish Played Pong! (Cortical Labs Startup)”. Finally, it was this one about “Growing Human Neurons Connected to a Computer” that really got me thinking. But, what is even more interesting is Cerebral Organoids, or “Mini-Brains”.
Now, given my background is not in biology or neuroscience, so this is going to be extremely challenging, to say the least. So, considering I have so much to learn, I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to share my progress. Not only that, but detailed guides to the equipment that I have brought or built, the materials, the techniques, and the sources of information found during the project.
The site will be broken into several catergories, including progress updates, equipment, materials, techniques and knowledge.
So check back regularly, it will definitely be an interesting ride!
