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

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 ...

Discover what sets human intelligence apart in this artificial intelligence comparison. Learn why human vs AI reveals ...

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 ...

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 ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

As the body’s most external organ, skin is privileged for human-computer interfaces because it can be accessed non-invasively. Despite much progress on thin flexible devices that conform to skin for ...
