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, ...
MELBOURNE, Australia — Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the ...
As companies around the world race to build more data centres to power artificial intelligence (AI) models, researchers are exploring whether living human cells could be used in computing systems. An ...
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 ...
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 ...
JMIR Publications today released a feature story on the emerging field of biocomputing in its News and Perspectives section.
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 ...
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 ...
A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) sound like science fiction to most people. But this technology is getting real, quickly.
