In a lab in the scenic Swiss town of Vevey, a scientist nourishes small clusters of human brain cells with a nutrient-rich solution to keep them alive. Mini-brains must stay healthy to process information, since unlike laptops, they can’t reboot once they die. This new field, called biocomputing or “wetware,” aims to harness the brain’s […]
