Researchers successfully connect biological and artificial neurons online

It was only a few months ago that I wrote about Scientists who developed artificial neurons that mimic our brain cells. Scientists at the University of Bath, Universities of Bristol, Zurich & Auckland collaborated on this effort where the behavior of our brain cells was replicated on tiny silicon chips. As we enter the age of supercomputers, they are still not powerful enough to match the brainpower of biological neurons that power the organ. The neurons communicate via tiny gaps known as synapses. These neurons have a dual mechanism of storing and processing information.
