    Human brain organoids ("mini-brains") are being grown in labs around the world. They're being fed neurotransmitters, competing with AI to solve non-linear equations, and going to space to study the effects of microgravity. This video reviews three preprints, preliminary reports of new scientific studies. (My AI voice caught a cold this week.)

    And here we arer going full circle. Naturally developed brains develope devices running on anorganic matter just to discover that organic matter is just better. I am sure they will just add to this and discover a fully automated version of an organoid some day in the future. To make it easier they will encase it in a hard shell, give it limbs to interact and sensors to understand. Then after many iterations they will end up at humans

      Nope! They're relatively disorganized blobs of brain tissue. Check out this video for more of an introduction: th-cam.com/video/u6FGq7_t3Eo/w-d-xo.html

      ​@@ihmcuriousis there a scenario where we can grow these blobs with that level of organisation
      If so does that mean we'll ne stuck with the types of regions in the brain or will we be able to make a "brainoid" with regions for more specialised tasks ?

      No, probably not. Molecular geneticist here (Biologist). The way these organoids are taught to do problems is by having them attach to certain electrodes, which then feed them electrical pulses. The electrical response to these signals is then measured at another electrode, and when the neurons working together give us a response we like (the right answer) we reward them chemically, causing the neurons to plastically change connections so they produce the signals we like.
      The thing is your brain doesn't work that way. When we see a math problem, it passes from our eyes to our brain as visual information, then our brain decodes the meaning via the cooperation of millions of neurons. You don't have one nerve that carries all of the math problem as easy to read pulses for the organoid to attach to. It's spread through your whole brain. The same goes for the answer, the only time that ALL the information comes together again is when your brains starts trying to communicate it. Which is again a task done by thousands of neurons.
      On top of that, even if we could figure out how to attach it in one person, it would only work for one person. General brain structure is conserved across all humans. But the exact placement of neurons is not. Imagine two identical valleys that are settled twice be different people. You'd probably get similar cities, but the exact place each building and shop is put would probably be quite different
      On top of that there is the practical issue: doing brain surgery on yourself to avoid doing math homework is probably not worth it.
