The human brain is a pwerful natural cmputer that has evlved ver tens f thusands f years. But what wuld yu get if yu cmbined this bilgical cmputer with a real ne?
Researchers at Indiana University Blmingtn in the US have linked human brain-like tissues t an electrnic chip, which can perfrm simple cmputer tasks. Their creatin named Brainware, is part f a grwing field called bilgical cmputing that might ne day utperfrm current cmputers, accrding t Nature.
The brain-like tissues the researchers used, als knwn as brain rganids (类器官), weren’t part f a living persn’s brain. They were “grwn” frm human stem cells, which are capable f prducing different types f cells and frming bdy tissues. It tk tw mnths fr the stem cells t mature int rganid.
The researchers then placed ne rganid nt an electrnic chip with thusands f electrdes (电极). Althugh rganids are much simpler and smaller than an actual brain, they act in the same way as human brains, such as respnding t electrical signals, which is what ur brain des all the time. These respnses lead t changes in the brain, which fuel ur ability t learn.
T test Brainware, the researchers used it fr vice recgnitin by training it with 240 Japanese recrdings spken by eight speakers. They fund that the rganid reacted differently tward each vice. With an accuracy f 78 percent, it successfully identified the speakers by shwing different neural (神经的) activities.
What’s special abut Brainware is that researchers can take advantage f the rganid’s cmplexity withut understanding its cell netwrks, accrding t Daily Mail. In ther wrds, scientists dn’t need t knw exactly hw the rganid wrks in rder t use it.
Accrding t the researchers’ wrk published in December, cmbining rganids and electrnic chips culd increase the speed and efficiency f AI in the future. Als, such mdels can be used t study human brains, accrding t Nature. Using Brainware t mde and study neurlgical disrders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, is ne example. It culd als be used t test the effects f different treatments fr such diseases. “That’s where the prmise is: using these t ne day hpefully replace animal mdels f the brain,” Arti Ahluwalia, a researcher in Italy, tld Nature.
12. Brainware is a cmbinatin f ________.
A. human brain tissues and a cmputerB. human brain-like tissues and an electrnic chip
C. human stem cells and a cmputerD. human stem cells and an electrnic chip
13. What is ne similarity between rganids and actual brains?
A. They are f the same size.B. They have the same cmplexity.
C They respnd t electrical signals.D. They can perfrm cmplex cmputer tasks.
14. Which f the fllwing is NOT a pssible future applicatin f Brainware?
A. Replacing animal mdels f the brain.B. Studying human brains.
C. Increasing the speed and efficiency f AI.D. Curing all neurlgical disrders.
15. Which f the fllwing best summarizes the verall purpse f the Brainware technlgy, as presented in the passage?
A. T develp treatments fr neurlgical disrders by using brain rganids.
B. T explre the ptential f cmbining bilgical and electrnic cmpnents.
C. T create a new type f cmputer that can perfrm cmplex tasks.
D. T understand the inner wrkings f the human brain and its cgnitive abilities.
