Each CL1 combines living human neurons with silicon hardware and a microelectrode interface. The neurons grow across a chip that sends and receives electrical impulses, while Cortical Labs’ software creates a digital environment through which neural activity can interact with software.

The biological component also requires life support. NUS technicians feed the cultures every three days, while the CL1 regulates their environment. Cortical Labs says the neurons can remain viable for up to six months.
