You might say that, in the race to imitate human cognition, digital systems can go far, but maybe not far enough. In other words, what about the gap between digital neurons, manifested in binary or even quantum computing, and actual “gray matter,” the biological stuff that pulses and produces organic brain activity?

This idea has led to some interesting places, as scientists attempt to actually build brains, to create that organic matter with thinking capability, and as a visitor from the 1950s might say, that’s a horse of a different color.

Emerging Studies

I was reading about this sort of thing being done at Johns Hopkins University, where they have found these “three-dimensional cultures” to have some capacity for learning and memory.
