In today’s episode, Mark and Jason sat down with Dr Hon Weng Chong, founder of startup and research firm Cortical Labs.  We discussed the prospect of developing a computer that – in place of a silicon, the central processing can be performed instead by neurons grown in a petri dish.  That’s right, brain matter inside a computer.

Hon talks about his work to develop an “off the shelf” implementation of this neuron based computer, with the intention to make it available for research world wide in the hope to accelerate the adoption and application of this new approach to compute.
