Inaccurate metaphors about the mind can cause real harm, for instance leading educators to 'train' children like algorithms.

The human brain is responsible for critical functions, including perception, memory, language, thinking, consciousness, and emotions. To understand how the brain works, scientists often use ...

Researchers have created a new cortical surface template called 'OpenNeuro Average,' or 'onavg' for short, which provides greater accuracy and efficiency in analyzing neuroimaging data. The human ...

Researchers led by Indian American scientist are taking inspiration from the human brain to develop computing architecture ...

Biocomputers powered by human brain cells may be the futuristic result of a new field called “organoid intelligence.” Scientists envision brain organoids, grown in labs using human cells, that ...

Hartung began to grow and assemble brain cells into functional organoids in 2012 using cells from human skin samples reprogrammed into an embryonic stem cell-like state. Each organoid contains about ...

This $35,000 Computer Runs on Human Brain Cells. Scientists Say It’s Not Conscious—Yet. The path toward our mind-machine merger never has never seemed clearer.

That’s right, this post is about a “living” computer made up of 16 “organoids” that possess the same biological tissues and cells as actual human brains.

Brain-computer interfaces are already letting people with paralysis control computers and communicate their needs, and will soon enable them to manipulate prosthetic limbs without moving a muscle ...
