A hot minute after the world started talking about GPU-powered neural networks, the conversation's quickly changed to neural networks powered by actual neurons. You can now order a literal ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and taught it how to play a doomsday video game — and are ...

In a development straight out of science fiction, Australian startup Cortical Labs has released what it calls the world’s first code-deployable biological computer. The CL1, which debuted in March, ...

Despite the unquestionably impressive advancements we’ve witnessed in recent years, AI is still lagging far behind human intelligence. While it can process vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers ...

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 ...

While generative AI is buzzy right now, what OpenAI, Microsoft and Google are doing may be only part of the story. There is also the process of using biology: the idea of using stem cells to create ...

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 ...

CL1 is the world's first commercially available biocomputer, announced by Cortical Labs in 2025. It connects cultured human brain neurons to a silicon chip and can perform calculations using neural ...

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like ...
