Cortical Labs

Cortical Labs is a Melbourne-based biotech company that builds biological computers by cultivating living human and rodent neurons on multielectrode arrays (MEAs), creating hybrid biological-silicon computing systems. Their flagship CL1 unit harnesses the adaptive intelligence of real neurons and is now accessible via a cloud API through their Biological Intelligence Cloud (BIC) platform. The company is pioneering a new category of biological computing aimed at more energy-efficient and adaptive AI processing than traditional silicon-based hardware.
