Animal Brains Networked Into Organic Computer ‘Brainet’
Imagine a future where computers no longer run on silicon chips. The replacement?
Thanks to two separate studies recently published in Scientific Reports, we may be edging towards that future. In a series of experiments, scientists connected live animal brains into a functional organic computer. The “Brainet”, as they call it, could perform basic computational tasks — and do it better than each animal alone.
