Bio Computer Retrieval by ScottaHemi I drew a scene thing the other day!  some of my cyberpunky characters inside a biocomputer looking for Rabbit Ears brain!

Genetically engineered bacteria solve computational problems – Physics World

A cell-based biocomputer can identify prime numbers, recognize vowels and answer mathematical questions

"now genetically engineered bacteria are doing the same. Such observations raise new questions about the meaning of “intelligence” and offer some insight on the biochemical nature and the origin of intelligence"

🤬

fourteen cells. fourteen individual cells and they’re better at maths than me. gah

“A new DARPA program aims to develop an implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world.  

The goal is to achieve this communications link in a biocompatible device no larger than one cubic centimeter in size, roughly the volume of two nickels stacked back to back.”

Tissue engineering - apparently the first step is to engineer for drug companies to test the effectiveness and side effects on living tissue. This is going to change the time to market and lower the cost to receive approval.

I can see a time in the near future where body modification is going to meet bio computing to create some very interesting results. The ability to create dynamic human shapes based function specific tasks and carried out through tissue engineering, 3D printing,  genetic modification and bio computing.

I should write a short sci-fiction story on the converging technologies. That is a thought.
