Chapter 385: Journey ...... Go on!
However, compared with the love chip and the focus chip, the brain-assisted memory chip currently studied by human beings is not known how many times more difficult, and it involves a key structure in the brain - memory!
The idea itself is very good, to store the memory into a chip to enhance the memory...... It's just a little more difficult, and I haven't been able to figure out what to do.
Professor Luo took the stage and played a holographic image of the human brain on the screen.
"The reason for developing this technology is that the speed at which people remember information and the amount of time they keep it are not of high quality," he explains. In comparison, it is far inferior to the Badit people, who are also intelligent creatures. ”
"Quality here refers to the completeness and persistence of the information. Although the Badit people also forget most of the small things, they can easily recall the major events that happened two or three thousand years ago, to a specific day, a certain year...... Such super memories are possessed by only a small number of people in the human population. ”
"I have to admit that people's lifelong learning accounts for a considerable part of the time, in fact, these high learning costs are mainly memorization, and there are relatively few places to understand."
"If the memorable effect can be maintained for a long time, then we can quickly finish a book, and all that remains is to understand and analyze it, and absorb the content of the book. This will save a lot of time for studying. Invisibly, everyone will become smarter and learn more in their limited life. ”
But the difficulty is that memories are scattered in the brain, and there is no single bus that can access all memories.
The chemical changes involved in writing memories directly in neurons are too complex to be possible at this time.
So biologists simply want to mimic the brain structure of the Badit people and open up another memory area in the brain, which is the function of the memory assistance chip.
"It's too complicated to completely redesign the human brain, but with one area, it seems a little easier. The Badit people have a special memory organ called the auxiliary brain, which has a certain reference significance for us. ”
"First of all, the technical difficulty, how to make our human brain recognize the content of the data in the chip? This problem is of course the focus of research, with the vigorous development of neurological biochips, as well as some cracking of memory codes by human beings, there has been a great breakthrough...... We already have a lab prototype at the moment. ”
The professor took out a small chip, as a biochip, of course, it is made of biomaterials, which is only a little the size of a fingernail.
It looks like a millimeter thick piece of cloth, with a certain amount of flexibility, but in fact it is covered with dense neural network structures, which is a kind of biological storage device.
A large number of reporters, who let out a small exclamation at the chip, were raising their cameras to shoot wildly.
"The second is the inherent limitations of self-awareness......"
From the experiment with mice, it can be found that if the self-consciousness of one mouse is used for no reason to match the memory of another mouse, it will cause the self-consciousness to collapse due to incompatibility, and then become a vegetative state.
“…… In other words, self-consciousness can only load its own memories. ”
"So, according to this principle, if you inject memory into these chips for no reason, people can learn a lot of knowledge without learning, and there is no way to do this ......"
The biologist on stage explained: "Unless we can make a major breakthrough at the level of self-awareness algorithms. Or rather, we have to risk death to gain a lot of memories for no reason...... There are also a very small number of mice in the biological laboratory, which can carry the extra memories, and we can't figure out the specific rules for the time being. ”
Zhang Yuan shook his head slightly, "This kind of indiscriminate behavior of adding memories is definitely prohibited, and the safety factor is not easy to control." There are still many mysteries in the human brain that have not yet been solved......"
But then again, there's nothing wrong with the brain itself feeding a memory into a blank chip and then reading it.
"In this way, after installing this kind of chip, it is equivalent to being closed to the outside environment, and only interacts with the human brain. After loading this chip, everyone's memory ability can be greatly enhanced, and we have not yet experimented with the exact extent of the enhancement. ”
The ability to remember, in itself, is a manifestation of IQ.
And on the other hand, if this memory chip technology really appears, there will be no problem about the return of the "transcendent".
In the early stage of fetal brain development, generally 1-2 weeks after conception, when self-consciousness has not yet been formed, the memory chip is connected to the newborn brain, and then self-consciousness is introduced. The "transcendent" can return to the real world.
Of course, all of this is only in the preliminary stages...... The follow-up work depends on the efforts of all scientific research workers.
After the biologist explained all the progress, a large number of reporters began to ask noisily, such as what is the current progress of research and development, and safety issues, if this thing suddenly breaks in the head, will the person die directly? Or the loss of a large part of your memory?
If this kind of security problem really happens, it's completely unacceptable!
"Professor Luo, there is, will this kind of chip be cracked by hackers? Oh yes...... It's not a traditional silicon-based chip, but a neural network chip, can you explain how that works? ”
This Professor Luo was confused by a large number of reporters and didn't know what to say, the specific principle? This group of reporters is completely a layman, what is there to introduce, if you really want to introduce it specifically, it may take months or even years!
As for the issue of security, what is the preliminary stage? It is precisely because these problems have not been completely solved that it is called the preliminary stage.
Somewhere in Kunlun Mountain, there is even a group of Riley people living there. Their brain structure has something in common with humans. Now that he has gotten rid of the life of a slave and lived a happy life in the virtual world, he can only contribute his body to experiments as a price.
But the dark side of this mess must not be spoken.
Professor Luo thought for a long time, and could only explain it in very simple language, but the group of reporters was still not satisfied, so they had to set a time, when it would be completed, and so on. They care too much about that.
"Set a time...... It's absolutely impossible. We don't know for sure, let's try to make more progress in 50 years...... Maybe maybe in a hundred years. ”
Finally, after the noisy question session, Zhang Yuan took the stage and once again made a summary: "Since the current scientific and technological progress is not too much, and it is not safe to send electromagnetic waves near the cosmic strings, it will take more than 100 years to send a spacecraft to fly back, which is very uneconomical." Therefore, for the time being, there will be no communication with the base camp in the rear. ”
"Ladies, like what, it has been a hundred years since the Kunlun Mountain fleet set off from Gliese 581, and in these hundred years, we have gradually become accustomed to life inside the spaceship, and have come into contact with two alien civilizations, one is very strong and the other is very weak.
"The unknown tomorrow is full of apprehension, but also full of expectations."
"Who knows what we'll encounter in the future? It is precisely because of this unknown that we are whipped and constantly marched into the distance. ”
"I hope we can not forget our original intention, make persistent efforts, and cast the glory of our human beings in this starry sky!"
Smack!
There was thunderous applause from below.
After all the summing up, the crowd in the conference room gradually dispersed, and the Kunlun Mountain fleet also restarted its own journey.
