Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom ...

Cortical Labs uses human brain cells attached to silicon chips to create biological computers that could offer energy ...

The systems use around 200,000 neurons grown from human stem cells, mounted on arrays of thousands of electrodes ...

Cortical Labs says the stunt points toward a new kind of low-power computing—and perhaps a new way to study neurological ...

Somewhere out there in the world there’s a petri dish full of human brain bits that’s able to play seminal 1993 shooter Doom.

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Sure, playing video game is fun. But the ability of tiny brain organoids to pick up a skill could provide insight into how ...

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 ...
