🧠 The Future of Computing is Alive — Literally.
What if your next computer wasn’t made of silicon… but of living neurons?
In this new episode of the Unriveted Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ewelina Kurtys, neuroscientist and co-founder of Final Spark, one of only three companies in the world pioneering biocomputing — computers powered by real, living brain cells.

🎧 In this episode, we discuss:
What biocomputing is and why it could be the next leap beyond AI and quantum computing

How neurons can process data a million times more efficiently than digital chips

The vision for bio cloud computing — massive, neuron-powered data centers

How scientists are learning to “teach” neurons to think and learn

The philosophical and ethical dimensions: could these systems become conscious?

😄 A few light moments:
“Our brains run on a banana, but AI needs a nuclear plant.”

A “neuron spa” to keep biocomputers alive.

And yes — neurons can make music (though Ewelina says it’s more heavy metal than symphony 🎸).

👩‍🔬 About the Guest
Dr. Ewelina Kurtys is a neuroscientist and strategic advisor at Final Spark, leading the frontier of living neuron computing — where biology meets AI to unlock new levels of energy efficiency and performance.
