Researchers hope that the world's first "living processor" will lead to energy-efficient computing power | Online platform gives researchers remote access to 16 human brain organoids
The platform was developed by FinalSpark, a Swiss biocomputing startup, which reports that three dozen universities have expressed interest in using their platform. FinalSpark highlights the significant...
These human brain organoids – there are 16 in total – are aimed at developing the world's first living processor and can be accessed remotely through an online platform for $500 a month if you are a university or educational institution. Interestingly, while silicon chips can withstand use for years, the neuronal structures used in bioprocessors have a lifespan suitable for experiments lasting several months, according to FinalSpark. These bioprocessors are composed of living neurons capable of learning and processing information and they consume a million times less power than traditional digital processors.
