The thing. What makes CL-1 special is that. The system is a neuron-microchip hybrid.  The system uses lab-grown neurons. To give energy to microchips. The CL-1 is a so-called “wet computer”. That system uses lab-grown neurons as a power source, and such systems can bring more impressive AI-based systems into reality. The neuron is a good tool to deliver electricity to microchips. The new nanotechnological chips require very low voltage. The nanotechnical microchips are very small. 

And the big problem is that. Electricity jumps over switches and routers. That makes those systems. Hard to create. The nanotechnological microchip can have the switches. That size is only a couple of atoms, and those systems require very low voltage. A living neuron that is grown in laboratories. 

It can solve the microchip’s energy problem. The nanotechnological microchips are tools. Those are required in the new AI-processors. The microcircuits operate as pairs, like real neurons. Those microchip pairs surround algorithms as a loop inside those microchip pairs. The system involves multiple microchip pairs. 

Allow for driving multiple algorithms. At the same time. The ability to connect microchips with living neurons. Gives the possibility to create new types of computers. The microchip can transmit data between neurons. And the microchip. And make a similar loop with neurons or microchips. 

The microchip that can transmit information into brain cells can also make it possible to create systems that transport information into neurons after brain injury. Cloned neurons. Those that are lab-grown can be injected into human brains. And the microchips can transmit data to those neurons. The problem is that this kind of system works only if the needed information is stored somewhere. 

That can use similar nutrients to humans. These types of systems are flexible and effective. Then we can think about the systems that we can call “Brain in the jar”, we can make a system that is the brain, connected to the computer. 

The system can transport information into the brain by stimulating the cerebral cortex. These types of technology can also benefit in other ways. Like fixing neural damage. The problem with neural damage is that. Those cells that are lost also lose their information. But the big problem is. How to get information that the system must restore.
