For the past several years, AI, along with related concepts such as LLMs and ML, has been among the most prevalent technologies in popular culture. The demand for more research into AI has risen, but ...

Neuroscientists and psychologists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports learning and the encoding of memories for over a century. Past studies suggest that memories are stored by ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

What just happened? Following news that its human brain cell-powered computer can run Doom, Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has announced it is working on two small data centers running on ...

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 ...

Five months after acquiring Arduino, the open-source hardware and software company best known for its UNO and Nano microcontroller board for hobbyists, Qualcomm is looking to make another big splash ...

Qualcomm, which purchased microcontroller board manufacturer Arduino last year, just announced a new single-board computer that marries AI with robotics. Called the Arduino Ventuno Q, it uses Qualcomm ...

First look: Australian biotech startup Cortical Labs has crossed another boundary in biological computing. Its latest hardware platform, the CL1, uses living human neurons as the core of a fully ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement without evolutionary guidance. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Understanding how neurons ...

A couple of years ago, a company called Cortical Labs released a video that showed a simplified version of Pong being played by a culture of human neurons in a Petri dish. The idea that a bunch of ...
