Bristol3 brain organoids identified Braille letters with 83% accuracy.
Researchers want computers that match the brain’s low energy use.
A tactile sensor scanned 26 Braille letters, and the signals became electrical pulses fed to organoids smaller than a millimetre.
A single organoid of about 10,000 neurons managed only 61% accuracy.
Lead author Tianyi Liu’s team next asks whether the organoids can learn or adapt.
