However, the challenge remains: how to effectively train these biological systems. Early explorations involve interactions through electrodes and infusions of dopamine—a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and motivation. By delivering dopamine at critical moments, researchers aim to foster new synaptic pathways and improve learning processes in organoids, mirroring cognitive functions of the human brain.
Through advancements in stimulation techniques and nutrient delivery, Final Spark aims to build systems capable of retaining information like traditional computers while also performing complex tasks, such as image recognition.
