Inventors of brain-cell-based computer work with international team of ethicists exploring ethical applications of bio-computing No longer limited to the realm of science fiction, bio-computing is here, so now is the time to start considering how to research and apply this technology responsibly, an international group of experts says. The inventors of DishBrain have partnered…
DishBrain reveals how human neurons work together to process information Living model of brain could give insights into the mechanisms of how we understand and experience the world A paper published in Nature Communications shows that when neurons are given information about the changing world around them (task-related sensory input) it changes how they behave,…
The future of computing includes biology, says an international team of scientists. 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 development of the DishBrain project, in which human cells in a…
Live biological neurons show more about how a brain works than AI ever will A Melbourne-led team has for the first time shown that 800,000 brain cells living in a dish can perform goal-directed tasks – in this case the simple tennis-like computer game, Pong. The results of the study are published today in the…
