Article claims they are human brain organoids, doesn't say where the source of them is. Are these grown, like most other neural computing systems, or are they actually taking matter from a human brain?
Organoids are largely homogenous lab-grown mini-organs.
So is it fair to call them human or is that just sensationalism in the article?
They are neurons derived and grown from human skin cells iirc, so, kinda?
It's because they're human cells, as opposed to being rat cells or something
Not only is what I'm hearing.
I think the "largely" only refers to the homogeneous part. I hope it does
