In 2022, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs made a big splash after announcing that it had taught “mini-brains” consisting of 800,000 to one million living human brain cells in a petri dish how ...

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 ...

Australian researchers have trained lab-grown brain cells on a silicon computer chip to play the nineties shooter game "Doom" and say they are just scratching the surface of what the neurons could be ...

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 ...

In 2022, Cortical Labs demonstrated a culture of lab-grown human brain cells playing Pong. Now the company claims it has trained its CL-1 chip, composed of 200,000 neurons, to play Doom. Data from the ...
