Chapter 140 Brain Wave Receiver
As soon as Zhou Yu walked out of the laboratory, he saw Wei Tianpeng coming to the Institute of Life Sciences on a balance bike.
He waved his hand to stop Wei Tianpeng, and asked curiously, "Uncle Wei, why did you come to the Institute of Life Sciences?"
Wei Tianpeng stopped the balance car and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou thinks that we study basic science, what kind of research process is it.
In addition to mathematics and logic, basic science, such a subject with extremely abstract thinking, can be studied in an office.
Other research is of course in cooperation with major research institutes. Basic science projects can greatly promote the scientific research process of various research institutes. Under my coordination, the directors of various research institutes are very willing to cooperate with us in research and development.
My visit to the Institute of Life Sciences this time means that the brain wave project we have jointly researched has made a breakthrough. I am here to collect data, summarize new experiences, and ask Mozi to redesign the experimental method. "
Zhou Yu was very satisfied with Wei Tianpeng in his heart. This person is really very subjective, and he can reach cooperation with major research institutes to jointly research projects without his intervention.
"This is the first project you started, and I also want to see the results of this project."
Zhou Yu followed Wei Tianpeng to the laboratory inside the Institute of Life Sciences.
Wei Tianpeng introduced on the road: "Mr. Zhou, don't think that this project is a joint project of the Institute of Basic Sciences and the Institute of Life Sciences.
In fact, the Computer Research Institute is most concerned about its success. The VR glasses they developed are going to use our research results as the main control method.
If our project was not successful, they used a backup method of pupil focus control.
Alternative control methods are very complicated to operate, and are not as convenient as the mouse and keyboard. "
The two of Zhou Yu came to the laboratory, and he saw many small mazes in the laboratory.
There are many mice in the maze, and the brains of the mice are plugged with electrodes.
Many researchers wear a metal cap and are directing the activities of the mice.
Zhou Yu immediately understood that it was the researchers who read their own brain waves through the equipment, converted them into electrical signals that the mice could recognize, and controlled the behavior of the mice.
This technology is no longer a new technology, and scientists realized it as early as a few years ago.
Wei Tianpeng could see what he meant from Zhou Yu's face, and knew that anyone who knew about brain wave technology would not be able to intuitively see the advanced nature of their research and development of this technology.
"Mr. Zhou, you probably think this kind of technology is very simple, and it's not our company's basic scientific research."
Wei Tianpeng saw that Zhou Yu didn't speak, but from his calm eyes, he knew that he recognized his meaning.
He patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou, how can we study such a simple thing? The research of other people is just to read simple instructions, such as walking to the left and right of the mouse, speeding up and backing up, etc. Order.
Even for such a simple command, it is impossible for the mice to recognize it 100%.
The brainwaves we collect are all complex commands.
It took us a long time to achieve a breakthrough in the technology of brain wave receivers. Human brain wave signals are too weak and too complicated.
If you want to accurately receive the brainwaves of a complex command, it is equivalent to instantly finding the target from among the 1.4 billion people in China.
There are two crucial difficulties in this. The first point is to accurately read the real command through the device.
Human brain activities are very complex. In addition to subconscious thinking that cannot be controlled by oneself, there are also instinctive tasks of the brain, such as controlling the brain waves generated by heartbeat and breathing.
The second point is to convert complex commands into simple executable commands so that mice can understand them.
Our ultimate goal is to make artificial intelligence understand this command.
But compared to artificial intelligence, mice are obviously mentally retarded. If they can control mice smoothly, it is not a problem to control artificial intelligence. "
Zhou Yu listened to Wei Tianpeng's narration. The technology they are developing now is indeed going to surpass the technology that has been developed so far.
Their ultimate goal should be to get brainwave receivers to recognize abstract commands.
Zhou Yu pointed to the metal helmet and asked, "Can I experience it myself?"
Human beings cannot perceive brain waves, and he doesn't know whether scientists can't help thinking of precise commands in their minds when they control mice to experience abstract commands.
Zhou Yu has confidence in himself. After studying psychology, he has a certain understanding of his subconscious mind. He can put himself into a meditation state in a short time.
Wei Tianpeng immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Add a set of equipment to Mr. Zhou!"
Immediately, a staff member handed Zhou Yu a set of equipment, and briefly taught Zhou Yu how to use the equipment.
After Zhou Yu adjusted the equipment, he closed his eyes tightly to let his brain completely empty, and then issued an order to the white mouse under his control: "Little white, do you see that little black mouse in the front left? Go up and hunt it."
The little white mouse he controlled was in a daze on the spot, waiting for 4 seconds, then rushed straight to the little black mouse designated by Zhou Yu, and circled around it.
Zhou Yu knew from this control command that the brain wave receiver can accept abstract thinking commands.
He only recalled the location of the mouse in his mind and explained the characteristics of the mouse, and the brain wave receiver could accurately read this idea, which is a remarkable achievement.
But it also has some shortcomings. For extremely abstract commands without a reference target, the brain wave receiver cannot accurately read them.
"Run to the second-to-last mouse on the bottom right and get on it."
The little white mouse quickly ran to the little white mouse designated by Zhou Yu. It paused for a moment, then immediately jumped up and hit the target mouse.
After Zhou Yu verified again, he found that what he thought was correct.
Suddenly there was an extremely surprised voice from behind.
"How is this possible, there is actually someone who can control the brain's distracting thoughts and highlight command and command signals.
If you meet this kind of person early, the project will be over.
Add money, you must add money to this volunteer, what a genius, hang out with me in the future! "
He followed the brainwave receiver to find the target, immediately widened his eyes, and said in panic, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't know you were here."
"It's nothing? I appreciate your serious and responsible look.
You were with Wang Xiaoxiao just now, aren't you from the HIV project team? "
Zhou Yu found out that this person was the one who took Xiao Meiling to the laboratory to draw blood, and he asked in surprise.
Wei Tianpeng immediately introduced: "Mr. Zhou, he is Lu Qinling, the person in charge of the brain wave project."
Lu Qinling scratched his hair with his hands, and said: "Mr. Zhou, today I am going to collect human body bioelectrical signal data from Director Wang.
The brain wave receiver we use is a very sensitive sensor, which can perceive the weak electromagnetic field generated by the change of chemical electrical signal when the synapse transmits the signal.
Collecting brain waves needs to exclude the electrical signals generated by the human body due to physiological activities.
At that time, I saw Ms. Xiao. Her physical condition was very special. Since my father and I studied medicine, I had never seen such a physique that only existed in ancient books. "
"Are you the little Doctor Lu that Director Wang said?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
He didn't expect that the person in charge of the brain wave project was actually a good Chinese medicine practitioner.
Lu Qinling smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, I have studied Chinese medicine with my dad since I was a child, and during the process of studying medicine, I discovered that ancient Chinese medicine has many metaphysics and mistakes.
I am going to learn modern science, especially knowledge related to the human body, and use modern science to explain the metaphysics in Chinese medicine.
I believe that the medical skills summed up by our ancestors after thousands of years must have profound scientific principles hidden in them. "
Zhou Yu applauded: "If you have ambition, the company will support you behind your back, and I like people with clear ideals.
You just said that my brain waves are very special, do you need me to cooperate with you in the experiment? "
Lu Qinling was so excited that he couldn't speak, he just nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
