Peer-reviewed papers and selected preprints that materially changed the living-neural computing picture this year.
Sono et al. · Peer reviewed
Closed-loop modular cortical cultures learned to generate periodic and chaotic temporal signals.
DOI 10.1073/pnas.2521560123
Liu et al. · Peer reviewed
A 3D organoid interface achieved near-complete surface coverage with 240 individually addressable microelectrodes.
DOI 10.1038/s41551-026-01620-y
Kim et al. · Peer reviewed
Stacked mesh MEAs recorded depth-dependent activity across cerebral organoids for more than four weeks.
DOI 10.1038/s41378-026-01328-8
Robbins et al. · Peer reviewed
Closed-loop cart-pole experiments with feedback-driven plasticity.
Mritunjay, Sturm & Fu · Peer reviewed
3D flexible interface with chronic recording, stimulation and reservoir-computing experiments.
Schottlender et al. · Preprint review
Systems-engineering survey of interfaces, encoding, decoding, feedback and benchmarking.
Inclusion is selective: the paper must materially concern computation with living neural systems, the interface required to do it, or a closely related system-level method.
