From digital to biology
Since its inception, FinalSpark has been actively doing fundamental research using digital computers. We now believe relying exclusively on digital computing to reach a General Artificial Intelligence...
View ArticleAbout carbon based life and neurons
We started to work on our biological neural networks. For this application, living neural cells are needed. There are 2 ways to achieve this: Buy neural cells and start interacting with them Buy...
View ArticleWe finally built our own lab!
The above pictures show our lab installation. Basically, this is all what is needed for basic cell culture. We obviously have all the consumables required, either hardware (tips, petri, etc) or...
View Article1 year of neuronal activity
After 1 year of activity, our lab is now fully operational. We started by mastering the art of culturing neurospheres starting from human progenitors. The beautiful picture below shows a collection of...
View ArticleA closer look at our Neurospheres
We have recently been working a lot on the characterization of our neurospheres. Below are the most interesting data from this. We acquired our first electron microscopy (ESEM-Quanta) images our...

After an intensive year of relentless research, we are thrilled to announce that FinalSpark’s Biological Neuroplatform BNP has advanced to the production stage, pushing the boundaries of what we...
View ArticleBiocomputing – The next evolutionary leap
Imagine a future where the boundaries between biology and technology dissolve, and the power of intelligence and computing transcends traditional silicon-based devices. Welcome to the next...
View ArticleWhat is biocomputing?
Defining biocomputing in a few sentences remains a challenging task. This is because biocomputing is an emerging field. And as it usually happens with new technological areas, it takes time to...
View ArticleNeuroplasticity in vitro
In one of the previous blogs, we described neurons and how they generate electrical spikes. Here, we’ll consider the fact that a neuron is never alone, and it exists in a network. This network can be...
