This $35,000 computer literally uses human brain cells
They aren't from real humans, thankfully.
Just two years ago, Johns Hopkins University researchers estimated that a biocomputer, using human brain cells as the basis of computing, could be developed within our lifetime. Cortical Labs looks like it's speeding up that process. The Melbourne-based biotech firm revealed what it's calling the world's first code-deployable biological computer at MWC. It's called the CL1, and the company says it'll be available to researchers in June for around $35,000, according to The Independent.
