Organoid intelligence
term_id: organoid_intelligence
Category: application_paradigms
Definition
Organoid intelligence (OI) refers to the development of bio-hybrid systems where human-derived brain organoids are cultured on microelectrode arrays. These living neural networks perform computational tasks by leveraging their inherent biological plasticity and energy efficiency. OI represents a frontier in neuromorphic computing, aiming to create adaptive, low-power cognitive systems that complement or surpass traditional silicon-based hardware in specific complex learning scenarios.
