Well, we already have systems with 32 electrodes, and we are looking at alternative to increase this by several orders of magnitude. I hope we have something next year.

If you talk about learning to play doom, I would say it is unrealistic at this point and still a topic of research, the purpose of the neuroplatform is precisely to find reliable ways to train neurons to perform a specific task.

We only use IPSC. Details of the protocol to turn them into neurons and glial cells are described in our publication. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence...

No, it is way less. Consider we have about 10'000 neurons per organoid while our brain has about 100 billion.

There a Python interface. The API enables to send stimulations, measure action potentials and deliver dopamine in real-time. There are 2 videos that explains this in more details on: https://finalspark.com/neuroplatform/

We have no information on this topic. Consider that at this time we have the number of neurons equivalent to a larva fly.

I am not sure lack of immune system is our main concern so far at FinalSpark. I believe it has more to do with the side effects of physical contacts of neurons (and glial cells) with not fully biocompatible materials like the electrodes.

I am one of co-founders of this company. Many of the questions asked here are answered in our recent publication: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/artificial-intelligence...

I will be happy to try to answer any other questions!

I am one of FinalSpark's co-founder. You are right, this can be a concern. People who rent have the option to pay for exclusive access.

We are working on using living neurons in order to create the first bioprocessor. Neuron activity is available online on: https://finalspark.com/live/
