FinalSpark, the company behind Neuroplatform, is now offering paid 24/7 remote access to its bioprocessors, which are based on human brain organoids. These organoids are claimed to be a million times more power efficient than digital processors. These biocomputing platforms are available for academic customers for $500 per user per month, and selected projects may even get free access.
For this fee, users will have access to a fully managed remote neuro platform for conducting biocomputing research. They will also have access to features such as an integrated R&D environment, real-time neural stimulation, and reading, programming API for Python, a digital notebook for documentation and research, data storage and backup, and technical support.
The Neuroplatform claims to be the world’s first online platform providing access to biological neurons in vitro. The organoids are capable of learning and processing efficiently. The company hopes that using bioprocessors based on biological neurons will significantly reduce energy consumption in the tech world.
The Neuroplatform uses a wetware architecture that combines hardware, software, and biology using Multi-Electrode Arrays (MEAs) housing human brain organoids in a microfluidic life support system. These organoids are stimulated by eight electrodes and monitored by cameras and software so researchers can input data variables and interpret processor output.
Information about FinalSpark’s Neuroplatform has been growing, and the platform has been opened to broader academia for rent at $500, to collaborate with major institutions and research users. It will be interesting to see how the platform is used and how it will develop.
