Computer chip with human brain tissues receives military funding

A big step in the development of semi-biological computer processors Last year, scientists at Australia's Monash University created DishBrain. DishBrain is a semi-biological computer with about 800,000 human and mouse brain cells grown in a laboratory inside its electrodes. With something like perception, this computer chip was able to learn to play pong in five minutes. DishBrain's microelectrode array had the ability to read activity inside the brain and stimulate them with electrical signals. The scientists were able to design a version of pong in which an electrical stimulus was fed to brain cells that reflected the location of the ball on the screen and its distance from the racket. They let the brain move the racket. Using the fact that small clumps of brain cells minimize t... .....................................
