It seems bizarre, yes, but they made a dog brain capable of playing Quake 3. It can fight a bot and navigate the levels.

Just weird...

A bit strange yes.

Hopefully on the brink of discovering something useful for mankind :inquisitive:

What are they going to do next, get dogs to fire real guns?

By the way, really harsh on the dog. Why did it have to play possibly the worst ever FPS?

Its only 50,000 cells and by 9 days it can take down a basic bot... imagine adding that to a flight simulator, then later to a real plane... just don't add nukes and don't tell it about the self distruct button... from there on you have a neural network cruise missile.

Quote from workmate:

Senior Mechanic "This plane is controlled by a Diad."

Junior Mechanic "What's a Diad?"

Senior Mechanic "A Diad is a Dog In A Dish."
