Scientists Develop Biocomputer Capable of Voice Recognition

The new "biocomputer" capable of voice recognition might sound like science fiction...
But Indiana University researchers really have developed a "biocomputer" made from lab-grown
human brain tissue and electronic circuits (Source: Nature)
Scientists fused human cells called
"organoids" into neurons and combined them with
electronic circuits to create "Brainoware.".
The goal was to build a "bridge between AI and organoids"
and to "leverage the biological neural network within
the brain organoid for computing.".
After analyzing 240 voice recordings of 8 people...
A machine-learning algorithm was used
to interpret the neural activity of the organoid
when it listened to each voice recording.
The Brainoware was able to
identify the original speaker 78% of the time.
This latest discovery could lay the foundation
for the brain-inspired computers of the future. #WeNeedToInspire
