Chapter 502: Magnetic Field Perception

Zhang Yuan introduced his research results on the stage: "Although this perception is provided by human vision and touch, the formation of perception is actually provided by the brain. Therefore, it can be regarded as another major effect of assisting the brain. ”

"Its sensory organ is not the eyeball, not the skin, but a biomimetic chip, even if the eyes are closed, you can know the changes in the surrounding electromagnetic field......"

He closed his eyes and turned his head: "For example, I can know the location of all the electronics in this office...... The projector in front of me is emitting a lot of magnetic fields, and I know that it is working quietly; You can also know that there is an electric car driving outside the window, and you can also know that the air conditioner in the room is running. ”

"There is no way to separate electricity and magnetic fields."

"However, there is no way to perceive something with very low power like a biochip, which will not involve everyone's privacy, so you can rest assured."

At this time, a reporter from below spoke and asked: "Professor Zhang, I have a question to ask, is there any practical significance for your achievements?" ”

"Our scientific instruments can measure electromagnetic fields very simply, and in terms of accuracy, human perception, no matter how accurate, cannot compare to electronic instruments. So what is the significance of your results? ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Additional perception is an important part of human intelligence, and it was born not to compare with measuring instruments, but to improve overall cognitive intelligence. ”

The intelligent system of the human brain is inseparable from the perceptual system, including memory ability, visual ability, hearing ability, spatial thinking and imagination ability, etc. A person who does not have innate five senses cannot produce any intelligence.

Why some people are smart and some people are stupid is actually very related to the perception system.

To give you a simple example, there are some people who have a very good auditory memory, and some people who are very good at spatial thinking. Their outstanding talent in a certain aspect is precisely because of the establishment of different perceptual systems, which are much more powerful than ordinary people.

Even wine tasting, food tasting, listening to classical music, literary appreciation, appreciating art, and so on are related to perception. Some people are able to appreciate the beauty in it, while others cannot, and this is the difference that perception brings.

Of course, no matter how big the difference in perception between people is, it is only the traditional five senses, and it will not produce any earth-shaking qualitative changes.

But if additional perception is added and integrated into the brain system, then a person's intelligence is likely to grow by leaps and bounds!

It is difficult to estimate how much impact it can have, it may be progress, but it may also be a regression, or the ability to think in space has improved dramatically, or the ability to appreciate art has improved, or it has become so stupid that it is not even able to coordinate hands and feet......

"The magnetic field is a very abstract thing for human beings, it cannot be seen or touched, and it is different from the traditional senses. When a person is in elementary school, if you tell them that the magnetic field has mass and momentum, do you think elementary school students will understand? Of course not. ”

"Even college students, even if they memorize this sentence by rote, most of them don't understand it, and they often forget it when solving equations."

"But with the addition of magnetic field sensing, everything is going to be very different."

Zhang Yuan released a series of pictures on the screen, which is a controlled experiment conducted using the virtual world, and the speed of learning electromagnetic science for humans with magnetic field perception is 112% of that of ordinary people!

The regular 200-day course can now be completed in 80 days.

The test papers of the same difficulty also have much better results than ordinary people.

Because for these humans, magnetic fields are very intuitive things, and they are not as abstract and complex as they used to be.

This was followed by a second set of controlled experiments, in which a scientist in a virtual world, living in a medieval environment, suddenly evolved the ability to sense magnetic fields.

As a result, this guy has figured out a complete set of electricity and magnetic field formulas on his own in just twenty years!

There are also a few characters in the fantasy virtual world, after getting this ability, they suddenly "had an epiphany"!

As a result, their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and they even learned some unique skills, such as "opening the eyes of the sky" and other messy things...... After all, the rules of the virtual world on the 14th are completely different from the real world, and any nonsensical situation can happen.

When these examples were seen, there was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

After broadcasting these examples, Zhang Yuan concluded: "From these virtual world experiments, we can see that human beings' ability to learn and accept electromagnetic fields has been greatly improved. Including electromagnetic field and microwave, antenna radio frequency, microcircuit, electromagnetic compatibility field, all have a very good heuristic effect. ”

After Zhang Yuan finished playing these pictures, for a while, the crowd fell silent.

Another reporter asked, "Professor Zhang, I still don't quite understand what this kind of magnetic field perception feels like...... What is the difference between it and our biomimetic electronic eye and biomimetic cornea? ”

Humans can also "see" the electromagnetic field by installing a biomimetic electronic eye, or a biomimetic cornea.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Of course it's different!" Magnetic field perception is an intuition, and although it is currently integrated into the visual and tactile senses, it will be separated from vision in the future. ”

"The electromagnetic field data transmitted through the electronic eye is equivalent to your eyes seeing more things, which requires additional processing by the brain, and you will feel very uncomfortable and unaccustomed. After all, the whole field of vision has changed, and the space is full of electromagnetic fields, and it only takes a few seconds to turn off this function. ”

This sentence made everyone laugh again, indeed, increasing the perception of magnetic fields in electronic eyes is actually not very useful. To put it bluntly, the main difficulty is the adaptation of the human brain.

"But by assisting the brain to increase 'magnetic field perception', just like hearing, smell, and vision, it is a natural response, and you will not feel uncomfortable if you don't do it properly, but you will quickly get used to this function. Related subjects, it will be easier to understand. It improves the software in the human brain. ”

"I think that as long as we continue along this path and integrate enough functions into the brain, humans will become strong artificial intelligence-like beings!"

"This should be the path that a fifth-level civilization, or even a sixth-level civilization, must take. We're just getting down that path ahead of schedule. ”

At this point, there was a round of applause at the venue, and this prospect sounded too good.
