Beautiful website. They massively over-claim on their science though. Their 'tech' is nothing special, people have been culturing and recording from neurons for years. And their claims of 'sentient' neurons in a dish should be taken as being somewhat flexible with the meaning of the word.

The website reminds me of mid 90s multimedia presentations on CDs. It takes a long time to scroll and read and there is not much to learn about them. Maybe their research page would be a better starting point https://corticallabs.com/research.html

The latest article is "Critical dynamics arise during structured information presentation within embodied in vitro neuronal networks"

When I see something so over-engineered on the aesthetics front, my knee jerk reaction is to think "this is overcompensating, and i guess they don't really have what they promise"

plus it feels like in the 90' where "webmasters" would try to impress you with an Adobe Flash animation. So bad
