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 ...

Data centers today are large energy hogs that need a cornucopia of CPUs and GPUs to function. An Australia startup, however, ...

In 2022, a team of researchers in Melbourne placed a cluster of lab-grown human neurons onto a chip and watched them learn to ...

I n February Cortical Labs, an Australian startup, announced that a programmer had taught one of its “biological ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

The communication network in the developing brain builds when neurons partner up to form contact points called synapses, allowing signals to pass from one cell to another. At the same time, a web of ...

Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new ...

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.
