Chapter 512: A New Discovery
However, the consciousness transmitter is not only a disadvantage, it is like a double-edged sword, the advantage is very obvious, but again, the disadvantage is also obvious.
With the consciousness transmitter, human beings will not have to spend their entire lives to learn a large amount of complicated knowledge, but only need to input the knowledge into the human consciousness through the consciousness transmitter, which can be directly transformed into innate knowledge.
If this thing is popularized, basically everyone in the human race will be able to learn all the knowledge of the present, and everyone will be a knowledgeable scholar.
At least at that time, school or something can be eliminated directly, and what kind of knowledge you want, what type of knowledge you want, you just need to transfer it to your mind.
However, this is only a general aspect of the benefits of consciousness transmitters, and until their disadvantages can be completely controlled, they are basically not conducive to large-scale promotion.
At present, Ye Fan wants to get the consciousness transmitter out, but this is limited to his own use.
At the same time, the user of the consciousness transmitter is another person.
That is, in the medical room of Datang Technology, Lan Lan, who has been asleep until now, the girl who once left an indelible memory in Ye Fan's memory.
Maybe it was because of creation, or maybe it was due to fate, Lan Lan relied on the means of fake death to completely disappear from Ye Fan and the entire Jiangcheng University without a trace.
But when the face at that moment suddenly appears in front of me at this moment, the memories that have been buried in my heart will always inevitably emerge.
It's a pity that there are still many questions Ye Fan didn't ask her personally, she has been lying there quietly for nearly a year.
That underground experimental base in Chicago conducted a brutal experiment on her.
Those scientific maniacs have tried in vain to create real artificial intelligence with human consciousness, but the underlying layer of electronic devices is essentially binary, and human thoughts are endless.
Human neurons are fundamentally different from electronic signals in terms of their coding mechanism.
Not to mention using human consciousness to engage in artificial intelligence, it is a very crazy act in itself, and how to transfer human consciousness to the computer is an extremely complex means.
This is going to involve the problem of consciousness transmitters, and how much did it cost Ye Fan to launch several batches of mining spaceships with tens of billions of yuan to collect the most suitable zero-degree metal for making consciousness transmitters.
And the so-called consciousness transmitter made by those scientific maniacs, not to mention whether it can be used or not, just to transmit consciousness, it will soak people in nutrient solution, and cause Lan Lan to directly fibrosis in the lungs, which is an irreversible behavior in itself.
If it weren't for Ye Fan creating Super Elixir 1.0 for Lan Lan to use, maybe a fresh life would have died here.
And those crazy scientists, who don't even understand the concept of neurons and electronic impulse signals, how can they use existing scientific and technological means to create consciousness transmitters?
Human neurons are very similar to electronic impulse signals, but they are fundamentally different.
If it weren't for Ye Fan's exchange of consciousness transmitter technology, I'm afraid he would have fallen into the same misunderstanding as them.
If viewed out of context from a single neuron alone, many statistical properties such as frontal discharge frequency, delay time, and frontal potential interval are meaningful.
It's no exaggeration to say that for any common statistic you can think of, there are neurobiologists who can find certain neurons in the brain and make their stats correlated with the behavior of the organism.
The communication mechanism of individual neurons is relatively simple, and the main way is chemical synapses.
One of the biggest misconceptions in neuroscience is that many people think that brain cells transmit electrical impulses like computers.
But this is a misnomer, to put it in too short language, that neurons fire only to change their own state, so that they can fire the parts of themselves that connect to another neuron (synapses) and release chemicals (neurotransmitters) that are picked up by the next neuron and change its own state – for example, making it easier to discharge, or perhaps harder.
In many places, such as the retina, electrical synapses are also present. However, in terms of quantity, there are many fewer electrical synapses than chemical synapses, and some theories believe that from the perspective of information theory, the efficiency of this kind of information transmission is very low, but the function of electrical synapses is gradually being revealed.
Between neurons, excitation is transmitted through chemical signals, and the specific process is as follows: each neuron has dendrites and axons, the role of dendrites is to receive stimuli from receptors or higher neurons, and the role of axons (connecting the dendrites or cell bodies of lower levels) is to transmit excitation to the next neurons or effectors.
In order to accommodate such a function, there is an enlarged part at the end of the axon, called the synaptosome, in which there are also a large number of vesicles, which enclose neurotransmitters (chemical signals), and when the electrical signal is transmitted to the synaptosome, it will release these neurotransmitters through the presynaptic membrane into the interstitial fluid, and there are a large number of neurotransmitter-specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the next neuronal (the dendrites of the lower cell or the cell membrane where the cell body meets the axon of the upper level), and they bind to the transmitter so that the excitement is transmitted to the next cell.
However, there are no neurotransmitter-containing vesicles in the dendrites and cell bodies, so when the electrical signals are there, these sites are unable to release transmitters, i.e., they cannot convert the electrical signals into chemical signals.
On the other hand, there are no receptors on the membrane other than the postsynaptic membrane that bind specifically to the transmitter, so for these reasons, the chemical signal can only be transmitted in one direction, so that the excitement is transmitted forward in one direction as a whole and does not come back.
Under these basic theories, the so-called use of electronic impulse signals from electronic computers to forcibly simulate the chemical signal transmission of neurons is itself an irrational behavior.
And now part of Lan Lan's basic consciousness has been directly drawn out of his mind by them using this crazy and wrong method.
In fact, these crazy scientists are still crooked, using the huge stimulation and damage caused by the nutrient solution to the human body, forcibly stimulating the brain to release strong chemical signals.
Finally, a two-pronged approach of chemical and electrical signals can be used to successfully export a part of consciousness.
