You should read about the immense criticism this paper attracted after its publication. It was published on the same journal since publishers like a bit of controversy ;)

- gptgpp 4y agoThere's a pdf here if anyone else is interested: https://www.yorku.ca/science/research/schalljd/wp-content/uploads/sites/654/2023/03/Balci-et-al-Monosov-Procyk-2023-NEURON-Response-to-claims-of-sentience-in-a-dish.pdf https://www.yorku.ca/science/research/schalljd/wp-content/up... Yeah all that criticism doesn't go into any detail about actual methodological flaws or issues with the results... It just complains about language and is pretty sanctimonious for such weak and generic citations. Like, those are the sort of citations I'd give as an undergrad and trying to pad a paper to make it seem more authoritative and well established than it is lol. Were any of the criticisms NOT centered around their irresponsible use of language and about the actual methodology and results? How they cultured different neurons to play pong is pretty amazing by itself to me.
