Feng Guo, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Indiana University BloomingtonAbstract
Current silico-computing hardware and system are facing challenges related to power consumption and sustainability, particularly to train big artificial intelligence (AI) models. To address these challenges, neuromorphic hardware inspired by structure and function of the human brain is undergoing development. Here, we report a hybrid neuromorphic computing system by integrating conventional silico-computing hardware with a human brain organoid. We leverage the organoid neural network for reservoir computation and demonstrate its real-world applications such as prediction of nonlinear equations. This new approach may hold promise for advancing biocomputing, brain-machine interfaces, and translational medicine.
