We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

From an article on the website, ai-consciousness.org:

One detail worth noting: among Cortical Labs’ investors is In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the CIA. Both the National Science Foundation and DARPA have also invested millions of dollars in organoid-based biocomputing in recent years.
