Brain organoids, clumps of human brain cells grown in a dish, can be hooked up to an electronic chip and carry out simple computational tasks, a new study shows.

Researchers have created a "biocomputer" from lab-grown human brain tissue and electronic circuits that can perform voice recognition.

Balls of human brain cells linked to a computer have been used to perform a very basic form of speech recognition. The hope is that such systems will use far less energy for AI tasks than silicon ...

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.

This discovery not only offers new avenues for AI development, but may also offer insights into the inner workings of our own brains.

Large language models achieve "superposition," tackling multiple tasks simultaneously with precision, contrasting with the brain’s multitasking that blends experience and intuition.

Researchers at Tianjin University in China have created a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in biocomputation.

The programme’s goals include cataloguing brain cell types across humans, non-human primates and mice to improve understanding of the cellular mechanisms behind poorly understood brain disorders.

Those brain cells, in turn, seemed to influence the rats’ behavior. The researchers injected the human tissue into the rats’ somatosensory cortexes — regions that receive and process sensory ...

Learn how the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 transformed one unfortunate Herculaneum resident’s brain into organic glass.
