📄 Using Humans as Sensors: An Estimation-theoretic Perspective
The explosive growth in social network content suggests that the largest ""sensor network"" yet might be human. This paper explores the prospect of utilizing social networks as sensor networks, which gives rise to an interesting reliable sensing problem. Individuals are represented by sensors (data sources) who occasionally make observations about the physical world. These observations may be true or false, and are viewed as binary claims. The reliable sensing problem is to determine the correctness of reported observations.
From a networked sensing standpoint, what makes this sensing problem formulation different is that, in the case of human participants, not only is the reliability of sources usually unknown but also the original data provenance may be uncertain. Individuals may report observations made by others as their own. The contribution of this paper lies in developing a model that considers the impact of such information sharing on the analytical foundations of reliable sensing, & embed it into a tool called Apollo that uses Twitter as a ""sensor network"" for observing events in the physical world. Evaluation, using Twitter-based case-studies, shows good correspondence between observations deemed correct by Apollo & ground truth.

IoT-enabled wireless neural implant for chronic, programmable neuropharmacology and optogenetics
https://t.co/IcLaVn4rGH
A remotely actuated and programmable implant for drug delivery and optical stimulation (RAPIDO), which integrates a refillable, replaceable, and backflow-free fluidic module with a microscale inorganic light-emitting diode probe in a single miniaturized implant.
A replaceable cartridge with an integrated unidirectional valve enables rapid refilling with contamination-free dosing, while a programmable electrochemical pump provides multilevel flow-rate control and linear dose modulation. Dual wireless modes combine smartphone control for on-site interactive experiments with internet connectivity for remotely scheduled, observer-free operation.
By removing location constraints and minimizing experimenter involvement, dual-mode operation reduces observer-induced behavioral bias and expands the experimental scope to include long-duration, multisite, and automated neuromodulation protocols.
In this context, remote operation refers to experimenter-free neuromodulation during the behavioral testing phase, while necessary preparation steps such as drug loading and module attachment are performed before experiments. This capability makes the system suitable for long-term studies, circadian protocols, multianimal cohort experiments, and cross-institution collaborations. Geographic separation imposes no functional limitations—the Chicago (USA, GMT −5) to Daejeon (South Korea, GMT +9) demonstration simply illustrates that RAPIDO remains fully operable regardless of physical distance. The IoT GUI enables real-time operation; scheduled and automated, repeatable stimulation sequences; and event logging, allowing experiments to run unattended with precise timing control.
In freely behaving rodents, RAPIDO enabled repeated wireless pharmacological modulation of locomotor behavior and independent optogenetic manipulation of intracellular signaling during cocaine conditioning.
THIS PLATFORM ESTABLISHES A FOUNDATION FOR CHRONIC MULTIMODAL NEUROMODULATION, supporting long-term circuit studies across distributed laboratories.

The world's first biological server rack is officially online.
It uses 16 million living human neurons to process data and pioneer ultra-efficient AI.
The National University of Singapore, in partnership with startup Cortical Labs and infrastructure firm DayOne, has successfully deployed and activated the world's first biologically integrated server rack. Comprising 20 CL1 computing units, the system houses approximately 16 million living human neurons grown from stem cells and mounted onto microelectrode silicon chips. Operating outside of a traditional laboratory, these biological processors communicate directly with digital software through electrical impulses. Unlike silicon-based artificial intelligence, this adaptive, self-organizing system represents a monumental shift toward synthetic biological intelligence.
To keep the living processors viable, the server rack is integrated with an advanced mechanical life-support system that regulates temperature, maintains fluid balance, and delivers nutrients, sustaining the cells for an active six-month lifespan. The ultimate promise of this hybrid technology lies in its incredible energy efficiency: a single CL1 biological unit draws just 30 watts of power—including its life support—compared to upwards of 700 watts for a high-end Nvidia H100 silicon GPU. While not meant to fully replace traditional silicon, it opens a revolutionary, low-power path for specialized tasks like drug discovery, fraud detection, and adaptive robotics.

In the area of drug delivery, organic electronics have enabled new, precisely controlled systems. Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT)-controlled iontophoretic devices have been developed for transdermal drug delivery [127].https://t.co/lp2jDjXtuB These systems use electrical signals to drive charged drug molecules thru the skin, allowing for on-demand, controlled release of medications. Organic electronic ion pumps represent another innovative approach to localized, on-demand drug delivery. These devices can precisely control the release of charged biomolecules w/ high spatiotemporal resolution, opening up new possibilities for targeted therapies [128].https://t.co/RPmsWDiPHc
Hormone sensing is another area where organic electronics have made significant strides. OECT-based sensors for cortisol, a key stress hormone, have been developed for non-invasive stress monitoring via sweat analysis. These devices could provide valuable insights into stress levels & circadian rhythms, w/ potential apps in mental health monitoring & management. Organic chemiresistive sensors have been employed for the detection of thyroid hormones like T3 & T4. These sensors could enable easier, more frequent monitoring of thyroid function. Neurotransmitter sensing has also benefited from advances in organic electronics. OECT arrays have been developed for spatiotemporal mapping of dopamine release. These devices offer the potential for real-time monitoring of neurotransmitter activity. Enzyme-functionalized OECTs have shown promise for real-time glutamate monitoring. Glutamate is a key neurotransmitter, & its levels are associated w/ various neurological conditions. The ability to monitor glutamate levels in real-time could provide new insights into brain function & dysfunction.
The convergence of organic electronics w/ advanced sensing technologies, data analytics, & artificial intelligence promises to usher in a new era of AI precision medicine.
