Researchers found that biological neural systems are more efficient in learning with limited samples, outperforming deep reinforcement learning algorithms in a Pong simulation. This breakthrough suggests actual intelligence may be biological.
A collaboration of scientists, ethicists, and researchers aims to create a consensus definition for diverse intelligent systems, including AI, LLMs, and biological intelligences. The proposed approach will provide a common language for recognizing, predicting, manipulating, and building cognitive systems.
A group of experts has developed a framework to research and apply brain-cell-based computer technology responsibly. The technology has significant promise for accelerating disease understanding but raises questions about the moral status of bio-computers.
A paper published in Nature Communications shows that when neurons are given task-related sensory input, they change how they behave and support the critical brain hypothesis theory. The researchers used DishBrain, a collection of 800,000 human neural cells, to demonstrate near-critical network behavior emerges when the neural network ...
Researchers have developed a new type of computer using human brain cells, which could lead to significant advances in computing speed and data efficiency. The technology uses small clusters of brain cells grown from stem cells and aims to increase the number of neurons to surpass electronic computers.
Researchers created living brain cells in a dish that can perform goal-directed tasks and adapt to changes, opening doors for new understanding of brain function. The study also raises possibilities for alternative animal testing and biomimetic research.
