Harvard University researchers have developed a virtual rat with an artificial brain to investigate how brains control movement. By collaborating with Google’s DeepMind AI lab, they created a biomechanically realistic digital model of a rat and trained an artificial neural network to control its movements in a physics simulator. This innovative approach accurately predicted neural activity in real rats, offering insights into brain function and behavior. The study opens new possibilities in virtual neuroscience and could enhance understanding of neural circuits and complex behaviors.
