268: Biocomputers - The Next Step for AI?
https://youtu.be/kAYdIpcDnZkToday is a very brainy conversation. Matt had the chance to chat with Dr. Kyle Wedgwood and research intern Wiktor Wiejak from University of Exeter in England. Wedgwood’s a mathematician specializing in neuroscience, and he’s using a computer from FinalSpark. Matt just put out a full video on what’s special about these computers, but in short, they’re alive. They’re made up of bundles of neurons, also known as organoids, and Dr. Wedgwood is using them to explore what he calls “the fundamentals” of how neurons work.
