Princeton researchers combined brain cells and advanced electronics into a single 3D device that can be programmed to recognize patterns using computational techniques. Using advanced fabrication ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach is gaining attention: using living human brain cells as computational ...

Two very different types of “computers” dominate the world today. The first is the type you’re likely reading this article on—machines powered by transistors and silicon that make our modern society ...

For decades, neuroscientists focused almost exclusively on only half of the cells in the brain. Neurons were the main players, they thought, and everything else was made up of uninteresting support ...
