Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

When the nerve access technology was used to equip Comrade Li Gaoliang with the value of titanium alloy and let him stand up again, the information technology experts of the Institute of Advanced Studies once felt this topic with him.

It’s not just the paraplegic patients who have damaged the spinal nerves.

If complex visual signals and auditory signals can be compiled and simulated like motion signals, and the device can be directly connected to the neural prosthesis or the brain, it is impossible to let the imaginary neural access that allows consciousness to sneak into the digital world. Virtual reality technology will no longer be an illusion.

At that time, Lu Zhou said that this was indeed an interesting topic, so I could study it, but there were still a lot of more important things waiting for him to do, and this thing was thrown behind him.

Now, coincides with the revolutionary breakthrough of carbon-based microchip technology, there is no place for the integral of the body, and after being reminded by the person named Ye Nan, this thing was re-thinked by Lu Zhou.

Thinking of Willa, who is still lying in the dormant cabin, Lu Zhou feels that if she can’t wake her up for a while, she must at least try to do something for her.

Although he is also clear, the hope that this stuff can work on her is quite embarrassing…

After changing clothes, Lu Zhou, sitting in front of the computer, combed the things he had written down.

In short, the core components of the technology can be divided into three modules.

One is the acquisition of neural signals, the other is the processing of neural signals, and finally the simulation of neural signals, that is, the stage of finally feeding back information to the brain.

The technical difficulties of these three core components are sequentially increased in order.

The acquisition of neural signals is very simple. As early as the 80 era, there was already something like an EEG sensor, the so-called EEG sensor. Nowadays, how advanced this technology is, even surpasses the imagination of ordinary people who are not exposed to this technology.

Whether it’s the VRsystem created by Eyemynd in Silicon Valley to navigate the virtual world by the user, or the 18 student of the University of Florida at 16 completed the sensation caused by World’s first brainwave drone race. An embodiment.

As for the second item, that is, the processing of neural signals, the difficulty is more complicated than the acquisition of neural signals.

Although on the surface, this thing is only the computer’s ability to process information, but in fact it is a rather complicated procedural problem.

This kind of complexity lies in the fact that humans know little about their own brains. Unless it is a limited situation, visual signals, auditory signals, and olfactory signals are far less irritating to the brain than motion signals.

To distinguish these signals, and compile a set of instructions for constructing virtual reality World, and to manipulate system… This can be classified as a second item.

As for the third item, the electrical signal processed by the neural signal modem is transmitted to the brain, which is the most intuitive presentation of the user experience, and is the most complicated and difficult part of the entire neural access virtual reality technology. .

the reason is simple.

Just as people encounter difficulties in developing the second core component of the technology, how can they output signals that can be read by the brain to the brain if they can’t even understand the brain?

At present, the more advanced approach is to implant a neuroprosthesis at the location of the cerebral cortex.

However, for the time being, this technology is mainly used to repair the functional obstacles caused by nerve damage. There is still a long way to go before simulating a series of signals such as visual, auditory, and olfactory.

Currently in this field, in front of the comparison is the Catalonia Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Barcelona, ​​Spain. Through the graphene-based materials, the researchers of the institute are designing an electrode to interact with the brain tissue interface. “Nerve interface”, as to which step has been specifically studied, only they know it.

In fact, Lu Zhou has a lot of technical reserves for the third core component.

The “answer” that he redeemed through integral is mainly focused on the second part – the debug demodulator of the neural signal.

As for letting the brain read the signal from the modem, he can only do the visual simulation step.

A series of feelings such as hearing and smell, even touch and excitement can only be achieved by external stimulation.

For example, a headset or the like is built into the helmet.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou still has some regrets.

If you can do a full-scale simulation of all perceptions, you can probably achieve the final form of virtual reality technology.

That is, the whole consciousness is connected to the virtual Internet World, and the second life is obtained in the virtual reality.

Whenever you want to experience and experience skydiving, rock climbing, what you want to do in reality, but you haven’t done it, you can do it with paper people for a lifetime.

As for other uses, you can think about it slowly.

It’s a pity that his subject rating is not enough for system to answer the second half of his question. If you use integral to force redemption, you will be punished by at least two levels of scientific efficiency.

The only thing that made him happy was that at least the system marked the amount of the integral’s cost, which shows that the problem still has a solution in his lifetime.

Just, it’s more difficult that’s all.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou sitting in front of the computer thought for a while.

In the spirit of the music that is not as good as the music of the Lele, he finally selected a theoretical part that was not so advanced and did not involve patents, and compiled a thesis.

He did not expect this thesis to ignite the virtual reality technology. It is only hope that this thesis can play a role in inspiring the other scholars in the field and make more valuable achievements in this field. .

As for the author of thesis…

Considering that the core content is mainly in the fields of computer and biology, Lu Zhou once again put on Dr. Z’s vest.

I thought about the last time I had an oolong, and I was almost recognized by myself. This time, he learned to sneak up and did not touch Arxiv. Instead, he opened the pre-printed website BioRxiv for the biology scientist.

I thought about the process of uploading the manuscript for a while, but when Lu Zhou was just about to hang up thesis, she suddenly turned into a shivered reaction.

Wait, if it is thrown on BioRxiv, doesn’t it mean that you don’t want to take it?

Secretly said in one’s heart, Lu Zhou turned off BioRxiv’s website in black lines, and bracelet oneself re-linked thesis to Arxiv.

Although the biology experts who care about Arxiv don’t have BioRxiv above many, but from another perspective, more and more researchers in the fields of mathematics, computers, and physics have joined the study of biology in the past years, and they have encountered both at Arxiv. The probability of Scholar, who is engaged in machine neural networks and biology of neural networks, should be much higher than that of BioRxiv.

Of course, the biology neural network and the mechanical neural network are one of the most difficult sections in the biology and computer sciences. They can be both skilled in the two fields, as rare as phoenix feathers and Unicorn horns is no exaggeration.

In fact, Lu Zhou is looking forward to meeting the researchers who are good enough to be like-minded, and to perfect the technology together… it is best to solve the troublesome things for him.

However, in fact, he did not have much hope for this.

The biggest purpose of his release of thesis is to preheat the technology, and when he takes the entire technology out, it doesn’t seem too awkward.

After all, if this thing comes out directly, the jump is still a bit big, and the average person may not see it, but those who really study this field will surely feel a sense of disobedience.

This kind of violation is probably like the relativistic mass equation has not been derived yet, and the atomic bombs have been created.

Although I don’t care what other people think, since it is conditional to avoid this happening, it is worthwhile for him to take some time to do it.

After uploading thesis, Lu Zhou leaned back in the chair and regained his spirit and sat up from the chair.

“Xiao AI, are you ready?”

The drone wu wu floated over and a bunch of text popped up on the small TV.

【Ready! Master Master, where do we start? (??????)??]

Looking at the robotic arm that had begun to dance up and down on the edge of the wall, Lu Zhou pondered for a moment and said.

“Get a chair out first.”

【……Eh? Lounge chair? (?????)]

“Well, lying down and playing… It should be more comfortable, and the experience can not be sloppy. I went online to search the photograph of the personal engineering chair. Anyway, you are idle, and the materials are here, I have to give you Find something to do. Then there is the helmet… This part has to be well designed, the neural signal modem and the EEG sensor have to be integrated on it, let me think about it… well, just do it…”

Lu Zhou, who is sitting at the computer desk and thinking about it while operating professional 3D design software, has gradually entered the working state.

At this moment, he did not know that he used the name of Dr. Z to hang on the Arxiv thesis, both the author’s name and the content of thesis itself, all over the entire biology academic world.
