Chapter 48: The Edge of the Taboo (Continue to work hard in the afternoon, ask for recommendations)
After listening to Yang Xing's introduction, a group of researchers circled around the huge mecha in front of them, and curiously stroked their hands.
Boxers on the Internet are very popular.
They really didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to participate in the development of this mecha, even though they were only responsible for one of its systems.
At this time, the assistant in the car before found Shi Yi.
"Professor Shi, please come here with me."
As he spoke, he led the way in front.
Shi Yi hurriedly followed.
The two of them left the storeroom and walked to a nearby room that had been converted into a conference room.
As soon as he pushed open the door and entered, he saw a teenager sitting at the head of the conference table.
Shi Yi was slightly stunned, and then reacted.
That's the genius.
There were other people in the room.
At a glance, there were fifteen people in the room, and Shi Yi recognized four.
All of them are first-class scholars in brain-computer interface technology in China.
They have all cooperated or communicated with each other before.
It's just that they are all buried in the tablet in their hands now, and no one notices his arrival.
"Professor Shi, please take a seat." Chen Shen looked at him and said.
As soon as he sat down, an administrative assistant sent him a tablet.
"Is this the neuronal connection technology you just talked about?" Shi Yi glanced at the contents of the tablet.
"Yes." Chen Shen nodded and motioned for him to continue looking.
Shi Yi glanced at the others who were immersed in the tablet and carefully looked at the contents on it.
An overview of neuronal connection techniques is provided above, with some details attached.
Shi Yi read less than two pages, and he was already completely addicted to it.
Because of the different routes, he can't fully understand the technology on the tablet, but he can still understand a rough idea, at least the technology and concept above are no problem at all.
For him, the contents of the tablet were like a flash of light, directly illuminating the difficulties he had encountered in the course of his previous research.
In contrast, he used to eat with a fork, which was convenient sometimes, but sometimes it was very troublesome, and the content on the tablet was equivalent to giving him the concept of chopsticks.
For the first time, he thought that there was a kind of cutlery in the world that was different from forks, with similar functions but different cutlery.
The conference room was quiet, and after looking at it for a long time, he raised his head, and the others had already finished reading the information on the tablet at this time, and they were still thinking about it.
"It's a different technology from brain-computer interfaces."
"It has amazing efficiency in the steps of neural signal recognition, processing, and conversion, especially the recognition rate, according to the above theory, it is almost impossible to identify the wrong neural signal!" Shi Yi said in surprise.
"This technology is not perfect yet, and its current application direction is relatively simple."
An expert named Zhou Xingzhi said: "But the extremely accurate recognition of neural signals is the most terrifying part of this technology, and in the field of brain-computer interface, the recognition of neural signals is the most important foundation." ”
"With such a foundation, it has great prospects for other applications."
Others agreed.
In the brain-computer field, if the nerve signals cannot be accurately recognized, all subsequent actions cannot be carried out.
But as soon as the nerve signal is recognized, everything that follows has a basis for proceeding.
Whether you want neural typing, nerve signals to speech, or using nerve signals to manipulate electronic devices......
These are just a set of algorithmic programs, and as long as you can accurately identify neural signals, it is not difficult to do the above things.
Chen Shen nodded, "Yes, this is the neuronal connection technology. ”
Shi Yi looked at Chen Shen, "Then our next job is to study this technique?" ”
As soon as he said this, Wang Qian, who was also in the conference room, had a strange face.
"Ahem." Chen Shen said, "To be precise, your next task is to understand the technology inside. ”
Understanding and studying are not the same thing.
Everyone present clearly understood.
"So what do you mean... This technology has already been implemented? ”
Chen Shen nodded: "Yes." ”
He wasn't going to tell them that this technique had always been standard for boxers, so as not to cause a second blow.
"Your task now is to quickly understand the neuronal connection technology, and I'm sure it won't be a particularly difficult thing for all of you."
Chen Shen glanced at the people present, at least thirty-five years old, and they were all first-class scholars, and their attainments in the field of brain and computer were not profound, and the progress should be faster than Yang Xing and them.
"After understanding this technology, we need to do something else."
Everyone's eyes turned, and Chen Shen said indifferently: "That is to carry out two-way neural connections between people." ”
The people at the scene suddenly seemed to be petrified, and even Wang Qian showed obvious surprise.
She now finally understood why the previous project topic had been kept secret from her.
I'm afraid that I have been screened by the secrecy personnel again during this time and confirmed that there is no problem, otherwise it would be impossible to sit here and hear what I just said.
Shi Yi said: "You didn't say anything wrong just now, right? ”
"Human-to-human neural connections? This ......"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
This is undoubtedly a taboo fringe study.
No wonder you had to sign a special secrecy ordinance before.
This kind of experiment leaked out, and it was not a small problem.
Seeing that everyone was frightened, Chen Shen explained, "You don't have to worry, this experiment is mainly set up for the next large-scale mecha control. Moreover, the guiding theory did not find any problems, and even if it failed, there would be no casualties. ”
"In the specific situation, you can open the tablet, page 27, it is mentioned that when the connection with the mecha fails, as long as the nerve pressure does not exceed the standard, it will not cause harm, and the nerve pressure is determined by the data transmitted back by the various systems of the mecha, and the same is true for multi-person connections."
Liquefied neuronal connection technology is so perfect that even if the mecha fails to dock, it will not cause harm to the pilot.
He didn't even need a mecha for his next experiment, as long as the system was complete, there would be no problem at all.
Hearing him say this, everyone was relieved.
The main reason why they were worried was that the technology would undoubtedly require live human testing.
By creating a neural connection between two living people, wouldn't they become murderers in the event of casualties?
If this problem is avoided, it is not unacceptable to test on living people.
Their invasive brain-computer device also requires a craniotomy to open the skull and place electrodes on top of the cerebral cortex.
Moreover, the majority of people who undergo this kind of surgery are disabled and paralyzed, and if the surgical risk assessment is wrong, the finger may be gone.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was relaxed again, and everyone exchanged information on the tablet on the spot.
When the meeting ended, Wang Qian reminded in time:
"The multi-person connection experiment just mentioned is mainly carried out by everyone present, and I hope you will abide by the confidentiality regulations and do not leak the news."
