It's an amazing proof of concept, possibly of things to come.
After many tries, new efforts may have successfully made computing more brain-like by using (lab-grown) human brain tissue.
Brainoware computer can identify people by their voice
Researchers have created a "biocomputer" made up of lab-grown human brain tissue and electronic circuits that can perform voice recognition. As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Nature Electronics, the researchers coaxed bundles of human cells called "organoids" into neurons, and paired them up with an electronic
In a story ripped from the opening scenes of a sci-fi horror movie, scientists have bridged a critical gap between the biological and electronic. The study details a “hybrid biocomputer” combining lab-grown human brain tissue with conventional circuits and AI.
