A hot minute after the world started talking about GPU-powered neural networks, the conversation's quickly changed to neural networks powered by actual neurons. You can now order a literal ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are ...

Australian biological computing startup Cortical Labs has unveiled a biological data center prototype in Melbourne. The facility has been designed to process information using what the company calls ...

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) surges, securing power has emerged as a critical challenge. Amid this, a novel attempt to build a "biological data center" using human brain cells has ...

A computer platform that runs on human neurons (and recently showed off said neurons’ ability to play DOOM) now wants in on the data center boom. Australia-based Cortical Labs announced today that it ...

The time has come to create a new kind of computer, say researchers from John Hopkins University together with Dr Brett Kagan, chief scientist at Cortical Labs in Melbourne, who recently led ...

While generative AI is buzzy right now, what OpenAI, Microsoft and Google are doing may be only part of the story. There is also the process of using biology: the idea of using stem cells to create ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...
