Cortical Labs, the Melbourne-based biotech company that made headlines by teaching neurons to play Pong, is now building two small data centers powered by lab-grown human brain cells in Singapore and ...

Scientists train living human brain cells on a chip to play the video game Doom in a breakthrough biocomputing experiment.

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

Australian biological computing startup Cortical Labs has unveiled a biological data center prototype in Melbourne. The facility has been designed to process information using what the company calls ...

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 ...

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 ...

This bioengineering breakthrough has found a way to make neurons grown in a dish react just like the real thing. "Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

The phrase "neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured ...

Neurons are not known for their regenerative powers. Some neurons are very slow to repair after injury, and some are never able to heal damage. This can lead to a devastating loss of function and ...

A neuron made in the lab now works almost like one in the body. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical ...

"Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured in-vitro form ...
