Psychology class: Scientists use brain-like tissue in advance for ‘biocomputing’ research
==========
Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have grown a 'brain organoid' from stem cells, which could be used for 'biocomputing' research. Stem cells are a possible way to help the brain recover from trauma. The researchers' technology could identify Japanese vowel sounds and may simulate the auditory cortex of the brain. The possible applications, benefits, and risks of this research include understanding brain function, developing new therapies for brain disorders, and potential ethical concerns.
