Bristol team reports brain organoids classify Braille letters from electrical input
Overview
Tianyi Liu and colleagues at Bristol University report in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence that human brain organoids can classify Braille letters.
The team sent electrical signals corresponding to the letters to the organoids. A single organoid of about 10,000 neurons classified them with 61 percent accuracy, and a group of three reached 83 percent.
Liu says the experiment was open-loop, meaning the organoids received only initial inputs and no feedback on their performance. The study therefore does not show that the organoids learned Braille or changed permanently.

AIBristol University researchers report that human brain organoids can classify Braille letters, according to a study published Friday in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence. A single organoid of about 10,000 neurons classified the letters with 61 percent accuracy, and a group of three reached 83 percent. The experiment was open-loop, so the study does not show the organoids learned Braille or changed permanently.
