Epia Neuro launched from stealth in April 2026 with a minimally invasive skull implant and motorized glove designed to restore hand function in stroke survivors — not by replacing the brain, but by retraining it.
When AI intelligence becomes a commodity, energy efficiency is the only moat left. The companies that win the next decade will own proprietary wetware — not better software.
The Cortical Labs CL1 is the world's first commercial biological computer. Here's what real customers are actually doing with it in 2026.
Johns Hopkins integrates nearly 200 studies and 30 million cells into a high-resolution atlas of neocortex development — turning raw biology into a programmable roadmap for the brain's computational assembly.
From John C. Lilly's 1968 vision of the brain as programmable hardware to Cortical Labs' $35,000 CL1, biocomputing has crossed from philosophy into product. Here's how we got here.
Evolution had 3.8 billion years. ABI gives us an afternoon. Adrian Woolfson and Eric Topol map the shift from reading DNA to authoring entire genomes — and what it means for biological computing.
Silicon that mimics the brain vs. neurons that are the brain. The neuromorphic and wetware paths diverge sharply — but their convergence may define the next era of intelligent machines.
Judah Anttila's TEDxOU talk maps the next 20 years of exponential change with rare emotional clarity. But the missing piece in his fractal mind thesis is the substrate — and wetware is already filling that gap.
Meta just open-sourced the most detailed virtual brain model ever built. It won't replace living neurons — but it could be the fastest path to making them work.
