Chapter 291: A New Era of Human-Computer Interaction
Li Hao and Zhou Yunsheng came to the scientific research building together.
When Zhou Yunsheng heard Li Hao say that the biological laboratory had started experiments, she was a little excited and wanted to experience the contact brainwave reading technology.
She also wants to make it easier to arrange the development of the company. urged Li Hao to take her to the scientific research building on the morning of August 11.
They walked into the biological laboratory, and Li Hao also wanted to come to the biological laboratory to observe. In terms of scientific research, only the biological laboratory has the heaviest task.
R&D is still very important results, and it is impossible to stop the scientific research process of any project.
Li Hao saw Director Qian Minghua come out to greet them.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhou. I'll take you to the Human-Computer Interaction Lab. Director Du was studying Juyang Grass, and he didn't have time. Qian Minghua immediately explained.
"It's okay, we're just looking at how the technology goes." Li Hao said with a smile.
They followed Qian Minghua to the human-computer interaction laboratory.
"Dr. Qian, you are not an ophthalmologist, why are you still in charge of brainwave reading technology?" Zhou Yunsheng asked strangely.
Qian Minghua immediately explained: "Mr. Zhou, I am not in charge of the human-computer interaction project, I am responsible for ensuring the personal safety of the testers of the human-computer interaction project. ”
Li Hao asked worriedly: "Why, this project is still dangerous." ”
Qian Minghua said helplessly: "The developed device only passively receives brainwaves, and it does not have an active query function. It does not damage the human brain.
But now due to technical limitations, it is impossible to sort out the clear commands hidden in the cluttered brain waves. The only way to do this is to test the people to constantly strengthen the commands and find common ground between them, which is very mentally exhausting.
The brain is a very complex organ, and some people who are weak will have dizziness and shock if they use this device for a long time.
Our company's testers must concentrate their entire efforts on testing the instrument properties as much as possible for scientists to analyze the data.
Their expressions are very attentive, unless there are symptoms of brain damage, and they do not notice the faint symptoms themselves. We won't stop experimenting.
The purpose of our medical team is to prevent accidents and to provide emergency treatment to mentally impaired testers. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he was slightly relieved. Thankfully, it's not the technology itself that has major side effects. There are many ways to compensate for the situation caused by the physical fitness of the tester.
They walked into the human-computer interaction lab and saw that it was very quiet. Most of them were wearing a motorcycle helmet-like device, sitting on wooden chairs, staring at the virtual light curtain in front of them.
Zhou Yunsheng looked at the scene in the laboratory curiously, and she asked Qian Minghua, "Director Qian, why do they sit on wooden chairs instead of sofas, so they are not very tired." ”
"Mr. Zhou, they need to sit for a long time, it is best to use a hard chair, and a wooden chair is the best. If you use a very soft chair such as a sofa, the spine of the human body will not be able to withstand the force, and it is easy to suffer spinal injuries. Qian Minghua said simply, this kind of medical common sense, they doctors know it, but most ordinary people don't understand it.
Zhou Yunsheng covered his mouth and said: "It turns out that there is still such a saying, after I go back, I will replace the chair in my office with a wooden chair." ”
Li Hao observed the items being tested by the testers in the laboratory.
In the middle of the room is a large square table with many small labyrinths on it. There are three mice with electrodes on their heads speeding through the maze.
On the left is to control the operation of the vehicle, and there are drones flying in the air. Electric toy cars are speeding down the road.
The right side is very similar to the art exhibition area, with intermittent text and some strange images constantly appearing on the light curtain.
Behind the square table should be the experimental field of the operating industry. Li Hao looked over and found that there were many industrial robots inside.
Soon a little old man about 50 years old came over. He is Yao Wenhua, the person in charge of the human-computer interaction project.
They often communicate human-computer interaction techniques. Li Hao also hinted at many technological developments for him.
Yao Wenhua walked to Li Hao's side, and he said happily: "Mr. Li, I went to sort out the data just now. We have made significant progress in our human-computer interaction projects. It can already read brainwave data from direct thoughts. ”
"You're really making a lot of progress, I didn't expect to make such a big progress." Li Hao said happily.
He saw Zhou Yunsheng looking at the two of them like listening to a book from heaven. Li Hao simply gave Zhou Yunsheng a popular science: "The direct thinking that Director Yao said is such as eating, sleeping, and defecation.
This kind of thinking is common to all living organisms, and it is also information that is obtained directly through physical conditions and observation of the outside world.
The opposite of it is abstract thinking, for example, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, which is typical abstract thinking.
To put it simply, fire can cook meat, vinegar is sour, which is also abstract thinking.
We humans are different from other animals in that we have abstract thinking. You can summarize your own life experience through abstract thinking, form experience, and pass it on to future generations.
Human beings have an abstract mind that allows them to understand things that they have never seen before. For example, you have never been bitten by a poisonous snake, but you know that poisonous snakes can bite people. ”
Zhou Yunsheng's expression was very confused at first, and then he suddenly realized and said: "I understand, what you mean is that you have cracked the brainwave code with beast nature." ”
"It can be understood in this way, but its essence is different." Li Hao said speechlessly.
He turned to Yao Wenhua again and asked, "Director Yao, what is the difficulty of contact brainwave reading technology now?" ”
Yao Wenhua carefully introduced: "At present, contact brainwave reading technology can only read the brainwaves emitted by direct thinking, and the brainwaves emitted by abstract thinking, and we cannot understand its meaning.
But the key is the brain waves emitted by the subjective activity of the human brain, most of which are related to abstract thinking. This results in an enormous amount of invalid data.
This is easy to solve through technical means, but the most difficult thing to solve is that each individual is special.
Some people are very single-minded, and the brain waves they send are clear and single. It can be easily recognized by the machine.
But some people's hearts are like grass, and their thoughts are very complicated. ”
Yao Wenhua pointed to the mouse maze and said: "For example, implant electrodes in the mouse brain to control his movements. It is easy for a single-minded person to control the guinea pig out of the maze.
And the cluttered man gave the mouse an order to go to the left, and another command to go right came to mind in his mind.
When these two instructions are given to the uncle, it will cause the rat's brain to produce chaotic instructions.
This is the biggest difficulty facing our brainwave reading technology, and it is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently for the popularization of this technology. ”
Li Hao frowned and said, "This matter is difficult to solve, after all, people's psychology is very complicated. What the instrument reads is completely different from what he actually needs.
If this problem is not solved, it will lead to a big mess in the future. ”
Zhou Yunsheng saw Li Hao's sad look, and she said directly: "What do you want to do so much?" Let's take this brainwave reading device and experience it, no more data than if we were doing it here. ”
Zhou Yunsheng's words woke Li Hao up, and it was better to try it no matter how much he thought about it.
