The neural computer
Andrew Dou, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
A computer built from tens of thousands of living brain cells can recognize simple patterns of light and electricity. It could eventually be integrated into a robot that also uses living muscle tissue.
Brain-inspired artificially intelligent algorithms called neural networks were used for all of chatbots seek new laws of physics. Normally, these algorithms work on conventional computers, but Andre Dou at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and his colleagues wondered if they could use real living brain cells instead -…
