Connecting biology to artificial intelligence

Dr. Xiaochen Guo and her team at Lehigh University are leading the way in cutting-edge research into artificial neural networks, mimicking the way the brain learns so similar systems can be implemented in computers.

To create a more energy-efficient and brain-like system for use in artificial intelligence, Guo’s novel approach is to create a living neural network—a machine using actual human cells—to run learning applications.

For a brief few days, the nation’s greatest debate did not center on affordable health care, same-sex marriage or the questionable talent of Miley Cyrus. It centered instead on height, as in, which state now lays claim to the country’s tallest building.
