We develop novel methods and approaches to harness the computational power of biological neural
networks (BNNs).
Brain organoids, i.e. three-dimensional clusters of living neurons, serve as the
physical embodiment of these networks.
Tech
Communication with brain organoids is achieved by sending and receiving electrical signals via
Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs). Signals transmitted through an MEA consist of extremely sparse
spikes
generated by synaptic activity. This is where our core technology comes into play. We
develop methods that translate digital information, such as numerical or visual data, into spike
patterns that are intelligible to neurons. In addition, we design automated procedures for
training
BNNs to respond to this information. These responses are shaped in a closed-loop
manner to achieve well-defined, quantifiable computational objectives. Once training is complete,
BNNs can be deployed as functional substitutes for conventional computational systems.
API
Through our API, which encapsulates this entire toolchain, users can explore
Organoid Intelligence (OI)
by invoking capabilities analogous to those found in traditional
AI and machine-learning frameworks. Our solutions for training Biological Neural Networks thus pave
the way toward a new era of Post-Silicon Intelligence.
