The headline promise is what the quoted researcher says they HOPE to achieve, not what “is” happening. The story links to an AAAS article with some details of the effort, which could at some future date lead to the advances they seek: higher-capability neural computing with lower power requirements. I'd give the linked AAAS note more like 4 stars, although it, too, lacks any details of the challenges and how they will be addressed A host of questions need answers before this research “weaves” “human brain cells into microchips.” This looks like an interesting pilot study…but only that. The article is disposable.

This is an incredibly surface level look into the alleged technology, and frankly, reads a lot like a press release the company might have put together themselves.

A very interesting project in a surface level article. The link for the press release offers better context.
