A University of Bristol experiment connects laboratory-grown neuronal tissue with a touch sensor to explore a new form of computing that combines living and electronic cells.
Less than a millimetre in size, but surprisingly powerful: Mini brains bred in the laboratory actually decipher Braille. Three of them, combined, significantly increase their hit rate. The researchers themselves remain a mystery why this is so.
Mini brain organoids 'read' braille in key step toward biohybrid computing
Could computers include tiny brain organoids one day? The human brain is an incredibly energy-efficient computer, and silicon processors that try to imitate it achieve huge energy savings over traditional processors. Now scientists are experimenting with using organoids modeled on the human forebrain to develop energy-efficient biohybrid computing.
