A team at Caltech has developed an hokey neural internet from human DNA particle . Yup , we used a bit of ourselves to make contrived intelligence . I recall I know how this story ends .
More severely , the Caltech researchers used DNA particle to ramp up their stilted nervous internet ( which is the beginnings of a brain ) because they can act like circuits , computing datum , beam information and processing it . Discovery explicate :
Without develop too complicated , Qian and her squad created four highly simplified contrived neurons in test tubing comprised of 112 strands of DNA , each strand programmed with a specific sequence of bases to interact with other strand . The interactions resulted in output ( or not ) , basically mime the actions of neurons give the axe . for see the DNA nerve cell firing , the scientist attached a fluorescent molecular marker that lit up when touch off .
They tested the artificial psyche by quizzing it with deoxyribonucleic acid strand that hint at an answer . Using clew from the fibril , the artificial neural internet answered correctly every time . scan more of this enthralling experiment atDiscovery . [ Laboratory JournalviaDiscovery ]
