Neurocomputing refers to the use of living neuronal networks to explore principles of information processing, learning, and adaptation inspired by the brain. In vitro neurocomputing involves defining recording and stimulation paradigms to perform computational tasks. In these studies, biological neuronal networks can be entrained, perturbed, and monitored to study core mechanisms of plasticity, memory formation, pattern recognition, and signal integration, bridging neuroscience with bioinspired computing and neuromorphic technologies.
MaxWell Biosystems’ High-Density microelectrode array (HD-MEA) platforms are ideally suited for neurocomputing applications. With thousands of addressable electrodes and flexible stimulation capabilities, researchers can deliver precise input patterns and record high-resolution responses across entire networks. The HD-MEA’s ultra-high sensitivity enables detection of individual spikes, bursts, and dynamic activity flows, allowing real-time tracking of how networks compute, adapt, and evolve. This makes MaxWell Biosystems’ HD-MEA technology a powerful tool for understanding biological computation and building next-generation biohybrid systems.
