Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

Millions of human neurons are powering a new data centre in Melbourne – the first in the world to be powered by living brain cells. Launched on Tuesday by local startup Cortical Labs, the prototype ...

DayOne and Cortical Labs are bringing ‘wetware’ computing to the city-state, using living neurons grown from stem cells to support the demand for AI while addressing sustainability concerns ...

DayOne will trial wetware computing with Cortical Labs and NUS, while BDx implements IMDA’s tropical data centre standard to cut cooling demand.

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

A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

Researchers have identified neurons in mice that help build endurance after running. They suspect that similar cells exist in people, which could be targeted with drugs or other therapies to amplify ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique. Regular exercise strengthens muscles and improves endurance—but new research ...

A new study has identified specific cellular machinery that helps brain cells dispose of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. By screening thousands of genes in lab-grown human neurons, ...

Real estate agents will tell you that a home’s most important feature is “location, location, location.” It’s similar in neuroscience: “Location is everything in the brain,” said Bosiljka Tasic, a ...

Scientists at Keck Medicine of USC are testing an experimental stem cell therapy that aims to restore the brain’s ability to produce dopamine, the chemical whose loss drives Parkinson’s disease. The ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully integrated lab-grown human brain cells into the brains of rats, and watched as those cells began to influence the animals’ behavior. The experiment, ...
