I think the latest research in artificial neural networks combines a
mechanical model that interfaces with cultured, biological tissue.
Investigators such as Guenther, Cohen and Grossberg at BU
(http://cns-web.bu.edu) are using innovative investigative teqhniques
allowing a better understanding of human cognition and neurological function
which can then be incorporated into ANN models.
