Scientists from the University of California at San Diego grew an artificial brain that began to “think”, Stem Cell reported.
According to the researchers, their artificial brain had synchronous impulses similar to the electroencephalogram of premature babies.
The artificial brain was grown from adult stem cells. Scientists managed to make them turn into a small area of the cerebral cortex. But it will take years of research to get a fully-fledged brain that can truly think.
