It’s a very common metaphor to compare brains to computers, although this comparison falls short to illustrate how complex our brains are. Eric Chudler puts it very clearly here, in his Neuroscience ...

On Sunday’s episode of The Excerpt podcast: Brain-computer interfaces promise breakthroughs in restoring lost function and beyond. But they also raise ethical and societal questions about the linking ...

Trent Loos explores energy use, economic impact and research comparing the human brain to modern supercomputers.

Though it may seem like fiction, we may one day see computational hardware constructed from living human brain cells rather than traditional silicon. A biocomputer harnesses biologically derived ...

The comparison underscores a paradox at the heart of modern AI development: today’s neural networks are inspired by the brain, yet researchers still cannot fully decode the wiring of even a ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. The world’s first “code-deployable” biological computer is now for sale. The Cortical Labs ...

In the actual brain’s visual cortex, neurons are connected broadly and smoothly around a central point, with connection strength varying gradually with distance (a, b). This spatial connectivity ...

Bram Servais formerly worked for Cortical Labs but holds no shared patents or stock and has severed all financial ties. As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current ...

June 2 (UPI) --Paradromics, a competitor of Neuralink, announced Monday it safely implanted a brain-computer interface into a human patient and recorded neural activity, before removing it 10 minutes ...

In brief: An unconventional form of artificial intelligence is taking shape in a nondescript laboratory in Melbourne, Australia. Cortical Labs has unveiled CL1 – an AI computer that fuses real human ...
