Victorian-based scientists have been training brain cells to learn how to play video games on a petri dish.

The study aims to revolutionise how people learn, with the potential ability to create super intelligent beings.

Brett Kagan, scientist at Cortical Labs, told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast they were using these experiments to learn how intelligence arises in people.
