Scientists at the University of Reading have trained an inanimate lump of goo to play the video game Pong .
Researchers used an ionic electroactive polymer hydrogel to run an electric current through it while hooked up to a computer that could play the game.
The goal of the experiment is to learn more about how biological neural networks ( Biological neural networks) work.
As the experiment ran, the goo got slightly better at playing Pong than a computer.
