Scientists 'mimic real biological processes' using synthetic neurons

Scientists have developed an advanced artificial neuron that closely mimics human neural activity. This organic electrochemical neuron fires at frequencies similar to biological neurons and has a broader range than existing designs. Researchers integrated it with artificial touch receptors and synapses to create a complete tactile perception system. This breakthrough could lead to more intelligent robots with human-like sensing abilities. The team plans to miniaturize the device further in future versions.
