Funny you'd mention that, there was a study from Jonas and Kording [0] that considered a microprocessor as an organism and applied analytic methods used in neuroscience to see if they can figure out how it processes information.

I think it is named after a 2002 study "Could a biologist fix a radio" which advocated that the current methods in biology were inadequate to understand a living body. It was a plea to do more System Biology, but even if it is widely known it does not changed much the way biology is done.
