Researchers are cultivating human brain cells in laboratories to transform them into biological circuits for supercomputers—a field known as “bio computing.” While it sounds like science fiction, ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a grain of sand, can receive electrical signals and respond to them — much as ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

What just happened? Following news that its human brain cell-powered computer can run Doom, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has announced it is working on two small data centers running on ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...
