Organoids are three-dimensional clumps of biological tissue that scientists have been growing and experimenting with for years. Researchers led by environmental health sciences professor Thomas Hartung at Johns Hopkins University are working with brain organoids that could lead to the development of a "biocomputer" powered by human brain cells.

"We are at a moment in time, where the technologies to achieve actual biocomputing have matured," Hartung told me via email. "The hope is that some of the remarkable functionalities of the human brain can be realized as OI, such as its ability to take fast decisions based on incomplete and contradictive information (intuitive thinking)."

Hartung and colleagues unveil an extensive vision for the future of OI on Tuesday in the journal Frontiers in Science.
