First brain cell processor created by American scientists
Technology
A hybrid processor combining electronic components and a brain organoid grown from human stem cells has been successfully created in the US.
The system is capable of recognising speech and solving non-linear equations, representing a significant advance in biocomputer development after 20 years of research.
As noted, the human brain consists of about 86 billion neurons and a quadrillion synapses. Creating a similar system in science presents significant challenges. In 2018, Chinese researchers managed to simulate only one second of human brain activity.
The efficiency of neurons is that they act as a processor and a memory device at the same time. And recently in the field of AI research, a direction has emerged - neurohybrid systems that combine artificial and natural neural networks.
Last year, American scientists presented a new concept for the development of neurohybrid systems - organoid systems. Another group of scientists created a bioprocessor capable of recognising speech, presenting only a prototype of a key element of a future computer.
