A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across the Pacific, a team of American engineers wrapped a soft electronic mesh ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

Researchers at Princeton University have created a new device that combines living brain cells with electronics to recognise simple patterns.

A tiny circuit, printed from ink made of atom-thin crystals, just fired electrical pulses that a living brain cell recognized ...

A 3D network of living neurons and electronics can recognize electrical patterns and may help researchers study both brain ...

The technology is still in its infancy. But its trajectory suggests that ethical conversations may become pressing far sooner than expected. These “biocomputers” are still in their early days. They ...

Neuralink, the neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk, has unveiled a new surgical robot capable of placing implants in ...

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 ...

Researchers have been working for decades on so-called brain-computer interfaces to help people who suffer from paralysis, ...

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.
