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 ...

Cortical Labs, a startup based in Australia, has developed what it describes as a "code-deployable biological computer." Called CL1, the technology is a type of synthetic biological intelligence ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Biological computing, a field in which living human neurons interface with silicon hardware, is progressing from proof of concept to early functional systems, with broad implications for computing ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. We stand at the cusp of a massive technology paradigm shift that ...

Doctors conduct the clinical trial of the invasive brain-computer interface in East China's Shanghai, March 25, 2025.

A research team from the School of Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has achieved a breakthrough in brain imaging by developing the world's first technology to ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...
