Lab-Grown "Mini-brains" Perform Non-Linear Computation, Eat Neurotransmitters, & Go To Space 

PR: what is my purpose? R: to pass the butter. PR: oh god!

thats never gonna happen because a human contains one thing that cannot be replicated with developing body parts from stem cells ii soul

​@@esatacikgoz2016fascinating. So when they make the humans with no souls and compare them to the ensouled humans, maybe they'll finally see where you're hiding those people things and make sure they get attached in the future

​@@esatacikgoz2016 So you decide who does and does not have a soul?

Nope! They're relatively disorganized blobs of brain tissue. Check out this video for more of an introduction: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u6FGq7_t3Eo.html

​@@ihmcuriousis there a scenario where we can grow these blobs with that level of organisation If so does that mean we'll ne stuck with the types of regions in the brain or will we be able to make a "brainoid" with regions for more specialised tasks ?

@@ihmcuriousuhm hey, the discord link doesn’t work… u got a fresh one maybe?

Refreshed

Specialization and new brain regions never before imagined are possible

I’m like this is terrible! Show me more 👀👀👀

How is this horrifying lol

​​@@nulled7888 yeah, same. it's hurting my head trying to understand

@@nulled7888exacly lol

I have a difficult time holding back vomit thinking over this

matrix moment

Looks like it

No, probably not. Molecular geneticist here (Biologist). The way these organoids are taught to do problems is by having them attach to certain electrodes, which then feed them electrical pulses. The electrical response to these signals is then measured at another electrode, and when the neurons working together give us a response we like (the right answer) we reward them chemically, causing the neurons to plastically change connections so they produce the signals we like. The thing is your brain doesn't work that way. When we see a math problem, it passes from our eyes to our brain as visual information, then our brain decodes the meaning via the cooperation of millions of neurons. You don't have one nerve that carries all of the math problem as easy to read pulses for the organoid to attach to. It's spread through your whole brain. The same goes for the answer, the only time that ALL the information comes together again is when your brains starts trying to communicate it. Which is again a task done by thousands of neurons. On top of that, even if we could figure out how to attach it in one person, it would only work for one person. General brain structure is conserved across all humans. But the exact placement of neurons is not. Imagine two identical valleys that are settled twice be different people. You'd probably get similar cities, but the exact place each building and shop is put would probably be quite different On top of that there is the practical issue: doing brain surgery on yourself to avoid doing math homework is probably not worth it.
