I'm not sure what you mean by open sourcing. There are published procedures in open access journals for creating neural organelles from tissue samples. It is interesting to think about how organelles might develop around a mesh of stimulating wires in a computer interface. Using cells from non-primate animals (e.g. rats) might alleviate some ethical hurdles. Still, I am somewhat uncomfortable with the thought of the idea of creating boxes of neurons trained via a interfacing mesh to accomplish certain types of computations, etc. The hard problem looms. Currently neural organelles are being used to study disorders like autism in humans where taking brain samples is unethical, but taking a blood sample and coaxing them into neurons, is not. |
