Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

Tal Sharf (right, senior author), Tjiste van der Molen (middle, postdoctoral researcher), and Greg Kaurala (left, staff researcher). Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts.

The human brain continues to surprise scientists. From how it learns to the fact that our brains glow, there's a lot we have yet to learn about the inner workings of the human brain. One especially ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...
