Advances in brain organoids have shown that they’re able to replicate certain aspects of memory and even cognition while in a petri dish.
. Despite these innovations, some researchers believe that we’re rapidly approaching a ceiling for what traditional computing can accomplish.
“Since the beginning of the computer era, engineering has aimed to emulate brain-like functionality, most obviously by striving for artificial intelligence,” Thomas Hartung, a professor of environmental health sciences at Johns Hopkins, told The Daily Beast. “Still, we are far away from achieving brain functionality [in a computer.]”
Additionally, Hartung claimed that the field of OI could also lead to the development of new treatments for neurological disorders like dementia or Alzheimer’s. The development of biocomputers requires research into the “biology of learning, memory, and other cognitive functions.” This will allow scientists to use brain organoids to potentially test for new drugs and treatments for cognitive decline.
