They Just Made a Chip With Living Human Brain Cells

From the creator

Scientists are now combining living human brain cells with silicon chips to build biological computers that can learn in real time. Cortical Labs has neurons playing Pong and Doom, while researchers at UC San Diego and Johns Hopkins are growing brain organoids that learn, remember and raise some uncomfortable questions about consciousness. 📩 Brand Deals & Partnerships: collabs@nouralabs.com ✉️ General Inquiries: airevolutionofficial@gmail.com 📌 What You'll See: 0:00 — Intro 1:17 — UC San Diego grows brain organoids with baby-like electrical activity SOURCE: https://today.ucsd.edu/story/machine-learning-algorithm-cant-distinguish-these-lab-mini-brains-from-preemie-babies 4:24 — Cortical Labs combines living human neurons with silicon chips SOURCE: https://spectrum.ieee.org/biological-computer-for-sale 6:19 — Living human brain cells learn to play Doom SOURCE: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/mar/16/petri-dish-brain-cells-playing-doom-cortical-labs 7:01 — Johns Hopkins pushes human brain organoids toward biological computing SOURCE: https://hub.jhu.edu/2023/02/28/organoid-intelligence-biocomputers/ 🚨 Why It's Important: Biological computing takes a completely different path from today’s AI, using living neurons that naturally learn, adapt and consume little energy. Cortical Labs is already putting neurons onto chips, while researchers are scaling brain organoids for learning, memory and drug testing. As these systems become more capable, the line between computing, biology and consciousness gets much harder to define. #ai #biocomputing #cl1

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
