What do you get when you combine future focused scientific exploration with an incredibly multidisciplinary and amazing team of people? Check out "Organoid intelligence: a new biocomputing frontier" on https://t.co/yObuI7JXm4 And see the paper here:

@manuelbaltieri @anilkseth @NeuroCellPress @CorticalLabs Did you read the papers or are you jumping on the bandwagon? Computer models of neurons are not the same as biological neurons. Obscure conference proceedings with a sample size of 2... Yes, 2... Are easily missed & even if it had been seen there's more relevant work we did cite

Let's talk language–specifically why we used the word ‘sentience’. Over time words can end up with multiple meanings, even conflicting meanings. Colloquially this isn’t a problem. Scientifically, it is. When you’re trying to use a term to describe something you have 3 options 1/7

had a good chat with @auastro about how he's basically putting brain cells into the Pong Matrix https://t.co/xmPCQFJrl3

Scientists teach brain cells in a dish to play Pong, opening potential path to powerful AI
theage.com.au
The team describe their work as a “cyborg brain” and in a paper published on Thursday claim it is showing signs of sentience – but not consciousness.

Meet DishBrain: human brain cells in a dish learn to play Pong. Our latest paper published today in @NeuroCellPress. Full paper at https://t.co/XpC7dTU8eT.

Another poor couple I met may be missing their holiday because of a misplaced hyphen in a name on a vaccination certificate.

Seems thousands of COVID tests got delayed in Melbourne. Almost missed out on travelling because of it. Met many people at the AP with delayed tests unable to fly.

Also people, I'm telling you RT this so Musky sees it. We must see Brain on a chip vs. the NeuralLink Monkey at pong. Make cyberpunk happen! https://t.co/SLep9M4ehL

. @CorticalLabs @elonmusk Who would win? Your NeuralLink Monkey or our CorticalLabs Brain-chip? Does your monkey dare challenge our brain-chip in 1-vs-1 pong? Your monkey was merely implanted with an interface — our cultured neurons were born into the interface — molded by it.

Fun fact, "dishpill" was also the internal codename for the neural interface driver code I wrote for this project.

@anilkseth @TrendsNeuro @CIFAR_News Very timely article. Here is our example of in vitro neurons showing learning behaviour when playing pong. Are these mini-brains conscious of their learning?

Integrating neurons into digital systems to leverage their innate intelligence may enable performance infeasible with silicon alone, along with providing insight into the cellular origin of intelli...
