Mini brain organoids 'read' braille in key step toward biohybrid computing

Scientists used organoids modeled on the human forebrain to recognize braille, a step toward energy-efficient biohybrid computing. The human brain remains an extremely efficient computer, and researchers are exploring ways to bring that principle into computing.

• Human forebrain organoids recognized tactile braille characters
• Goal is energy-efficient biohybrid computing using living neurons
• Human brain cited as an extremely efficient analog to silicon chips
