Source<\/strong>-This post on Brainoware<\/strong> is based on the article “Scientists fuse brain-like tissue with electronics to make computer<\/strong>” published in “The Hindu<\/strong>” on 3rd January 2024.<\/p>\n

Why in the News?<\/h2>\n

A team of researchers has recently combined brain-like tissue with electronics to create an ‘organoid neural network’ known as Brainoware<\/span>. It is capable of recognizing voices and solving complex maths problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

1) Researchers utilized lab-grown real human brain tissue<\/span> to create mini-brains known as organoids<\/span>.
\nNote<\/strong>– Brain organoids are 3D clusters of brain cells<\/span>. These organoids are not actual brains, they are simply tissue structures without thoughts or feelings. They help in studying how the brain works without using a real human brain.<\/p>\n

2) Brainoware connects these organoids to microelectrodes<\/span> through a method of artificial neural network known as reservoir computing.<\/p>\n

3) This device comprises three layers<\/span>: input, reservoir, and output.<\/p>\n

4) The brain organoid,<\/span> which is connected to microelectrodes, acts as the reservoir<\/span>. It received inputs via electrical stimulation from<\/span> the<\/span> input layer (live brain cells)<\/span><\/span>. The output layer comprised<\/span> modified conventional computer hardware<\/span> programmed to recognize Brainoware’s neural activity.<\/p>\n

5) The researchers showcased Brainoware’s capabilities by forecasting a Henon map<\/span>. Henon map is a mathematical function that plots a curve on a graph, displaying chaotic or non-chaotic behaviour based on the values of two variables.<\/p>\n

Significance:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It marks a\u00a0significant advancement in multiple areas of science and engineering, such as tissue engineering, electrophysiology, and neural computation<\/span>.<\/p>\n
