Biological computing startup Cortical Labs has announced the launch of what it touts as the world’s first data centre that uses human brain cells on a silicon chip rather than computer chips.

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

Researchers have transplanted healthy mitochondria into brain cells and animal models of neurodegeneration, reporting improved energy output, reduced cell death, and temporary recovery of motor ...

Scientists have created an AI version of a monkey brain that recognizes images without requiring the massive computing power of existing AI systems.

(March 10): Biotech start-up Cortical Labs is working on two small data centres run by human brain cells, putting lab-grown neurons onto silicon in an experiment that could one day challenge chips ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

Inside a lab in the picturesque Swiss town of Vevey, a scientist gives tiny clumps of human brain cells the nutrient-rich fluid they need to stay alive. It is vital these mini-brains remain healthy, ...

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing information.
