Scientists invent 'Brainoware' computer that uses human neurons and tech hardware - as they move one step closer to merging man and machine

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

Scientists have unveiled a hybrid computer made of electronics and human brain-like tissues called'Brainoware.' It's part of a growing field called biological computing. The new technology features a brain'organoid' made of human stem cells which sit atop a circuit board that feeds the organoid information and reads its responses. This biological-electronic hybrid was able to identify people's by voice and make predictions about a complex math problem. The researchers claim the discovery represents a significant step toward hybrid computers, which merge man and machine to perform complex computing problems using a fraction of the power needed by conventional computers.
