Wetware Rising: From Synapses to ServersWhat if the future of computing isn’t built from silicon—but grown from living neurons? This is not science fiction. It’s neuroscience—rewiring the future of computing.In this episode, I sit down with a scientist from FinalSpark, a research lab pioneering biological computing using brain organoids as bioprocessors. Instead of transistors, these systems rely on neurons, synapses, and plasticity—the same principles that govern learning in the human brain.We explore:What wetware really means in neuroscienceHow living neural networks can process informationWhy organoids may be more energy-efficient than silicon chipsWhere the line lies between computation, intelligence, and lifeThe ethical and scientific questions behind computing with biologyTimestamps:00:00 – 04:00 Introduction to FinalSpark and Biocomputers04:00 – 06:25 The Journey from Biology to AI06:25 – 10:30 Imaging Techniques and Limitations10:30 – 11:35 Understanding Organoids11:35 – 17:15 The Challenge of Neuronal Variability17:15 – 19:25 Programming Neurons: Input and Output 19:25 – 22:55 Neural Learning22:55 – 26:35 The Future of Biocomputers26:35 – 29:30 Ethics of Biocomputing29:30 – 33:43 The Complexity of Consciousness33:43 – 40:00 Investment and Future Directions of FinalSpark
