‘BIOCOMPUTER’ COMBINES LAB-GROWN BRAIN TISSUE WITH ELECTRONIC HARDWARE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Researchers have built a hybrid biocomputer by combining laboratory-grown human brain tissue with conventional electronic circuits. The biocomputer can complete tasks such as voice recognition. The study confirms some key theoretical ideas that could eventually make a biological computer possible. The technology could be used to model and study neurological disorders or integrated into artificial intelligence systems.
