A “biocomputer” that can hear sounds from human brain tissue has been developed

Researchers have created a “biocomputer” consisting of laboratory-grown human brain tissue and electronic circuits that they say can perform tasks such as voice recognition. To do this, researchers transformed bundles of human cells called “organoids” into neurons and paired them with electronic circuits, creating a system they called “Brainoware.”Biocomputer developed Feng Guo, co-author of the study and Indiana University bioengineer, told Nature magazine that their goal is to build a bridge between artificial intelligence and organoids and take advantage of the efficiency and speed of the human brain in processing information. “We wanted to investigate whether we could take advantage of the biological neural network within the brain organoid for information processing,” Guo added in his statement. Ultimately, the hope is that brain-inspired biological computers can perform tasks on behalf of traditional AI while also providing scientists with an exciting new way to study the huma…
