Could you build this?
No The company grows living biological neural tissue in specialized lab wetware to perform biological computing, which is advanced biotechnology and wet-lab neuroscience.
What it would actually take: This requires a wet lab with microfluidic vascularization systems, multielectrode arrays (MEAs), cell culture protocols for human/rodent neurons, and electrophysiological stimulation equipment. Software must interface with microvolt electrical signals via custom DSP pipelines and reinforcement learning controllers. The project demands multidisciplinary PhDs in neurobiology, tissue engineering, electrical engineering, and biophysics.
