Biocomputing With Mini-Brains as Processors Could Be More Powerful Than Silicon-Based AI

The human brain is a master of computation. It's no wonder that from brain-inspired algorithms to neuromorphic chips, scientists are borrowing the brain's playbook to give machines a boost. Yet the results--in both software and hardware--only capture a fraction of the computational intricacies embedded in neurons. But perhaps the major roadblock in building brain-like computers […]
