Chapter 379: Start with an Auxiliary Prosthetic
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Sheng finished writing part of the algorithm and sent this part of the algorithm to Qi Heng.
Recently, Zhao Sheng and Qi Heng's [Health Assistant] income has been very good, and Qi Heng has asked Zhao Sheng several times what his plans are next.
However, as Zhao Sheng joined the high-end medical department, Qi Heng became more and more ignorant of Zhao Sheng's next plans.
After completing these tasks, Zhao Sheng returned to the office.
Next, Zhao Sheng routinely checked the room, and by half past five, he was ready to leave work on time.
However, just when Zhao Sheng was about to go out of the office, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and when he took out his mobile phone, Zhao Sheng saw that it was Qi Heng's call.
Seeing Qi Heng's call, Zhao Sheng knew that it must be the part of the brain-computer interface and human-computer interaction algorithm he sent to Qi Heng just now, which inspired Qi Heng to a certain extent.
"Dr. Zhao, where are you now, I want to see you right away!"
As soon as the phone was connected, Qi Heng said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
From Qi Heng's excited tone on the other end of the phone, he knew what Qi Heng's mood was at the moment.
"You're in the company, I'll go over now."
Zhao Sheng said on the other end of the phone.
Originally, he wanted to talk to Qi Heng about the brain-computer interface algorithm, so he wrote a part of the algorithm and sent it to him directly.
Although the [Health Assistant] he and Qi Heng developed together have indeed made good profits in the past few months, whether it is Zhao Sheng or Qi Heng, they will definitely not be satisfied with just making a smart bracelet software.
"Okay, I'll wait!"
Qi Heng said immediately on the other end of the phone.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhao Sheng drove to the company and went up to Qi Heng's office.
As soon as he entered Qi Heng's office, Zhao Sheng saw Qi Heng sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on studying the algorithm sent by Zhao Sheng.
"Dr. Qi?"
Zhao Sheng entered the office and said hello.
"Dr. Zhao, you're here, come quickly, come and tell me about this part of the algorithm."
As soon as Qi Heng saw Zhao Sheng coming, he immediately said happily.
Originally, he was still wondering why Zhao Sheng hadn't moved much during this time, and thought that he had returned to clinical work, but the algorithm sent by Zhao Sheng just now really shocked him.
You know, for how to link the interaction between human consciousness and the digital world, it is a very cutting-edge discipline now, and many people are paying attention to it, no, in "The Wandering Earth 2", the male protagonist daughter played by Liu died, and her consciousness was preserved through the chip, realizing digital immortality.
For example, in "Black Empire", human consciousness is connected to the virtual environment, and people can experience different lives in the virtual world.
These very cool scenes are inseparable from a key technology, that is-[brain-computer interface]
The key to brain-computer interface is how to realize the transmission and decoding of brain nerve signals.
The algorithm developed by Zhao Sheng is a decoding algorithm.
"Okay."
Zhao Sheng nodded and walked towards Qi Heng.
Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng relieved Qi Heng, who was very excited, and the two sat on the sofa, made tea, and continued to chat about neural decoding algorithms.
"Dr. Zhao, the difficulty of brain-computer interface technology now lies in the decoding of brain nerve signals, and with this algorithm, we can do a lot of things."
Qi Heng said happily.
"Dr. Zhao, how did you come up with the idea to develop such an algorithm?"
After a pause, Qi Heng said very suspiciously.
"Now about brain-computer interfaces, there are companies that have developed invasive brain-computer interfaces, in fact, for patients with nervous system damage, my center has developed the technology of nerve regeneration, so invasive brain-computer interfaces will not be necessary at all in the future."
"Moreover, the field of brain-computer interfaces, like the field of artificial intelligence, currently has a lot of hype problems. For example, some people think that in the future, humans will be able to download brains and upload content, and put a chip in their head to have some skills, which reminds me of the plot of "The Matrix" and many other similar sci-fi movies. ”
"But we can't actually put a probe in a human head and download the contents of the brain, and that doesn't happen at all, because human memories are stored in analog ways rather than digitally, so the "extraction of memories" in science fiction movies will never happen. ”
Zhao Sheng said slowly.
"So what we can do in the future is human-computer interaction, right?"
Qi Heng nodded, he agreed with what Zhao Sheng said.
"Yes, in the field of human-computer interaction, I think there are three things that will never happen, humans can't upload anything to the brain synchronously, and they can't get special functions through some implanted technology, such as having a skill in an instant, and they can't download memories to any digital device."
Zhao Sheng continued.
"Yes, for example, in artificial intelligence, at the moment, most of the basic algorithmic statistical tools are now used in the field of artificial intelligence. AI is also useful and very powerful in medicine and other disciplines. However, the term artificial intelligence was only born in the fifties as a good marketing tool. ”
"John McCarthy, a computer scientist, wanted to have a conference, he needed to raise money to fund it, he needed an impactful, appropriate concept for the U.S. government to fund it, and the term was born."
"In fact, intelligence is produced when creatures like us humans interact with the environment and other creatures in order to survive, in order to overcome difficulties, and intelligence is an attribute of organic matter."
Qi Heng also nodded, and expressed his views on artificial intelligence, as a doctor of computer science, his main direction is actually artificial intelligence.
But at present, there is still a very big misunderstanding of artificial intelligence among the public.
"The current computer nerve signals, that is, brainwave receiving equipment, actually have mature products, and mechanical limbs that can be controlled by programs have also been developed in the field of construction machinery."
"What is most lacking in allowing humans to directly control machinery is the decoding algorithm for brain signals that you have researched, Dr. Zhao."
After a pause, Qi Heng said happily again, at this moment, he seemed to see the brain-computer interface equipment he and Zhao Sheng researched was launched on a large scale and widely used in various fields.
At that time, maybe the company he founded with Zhao Sheng will become the second Apple.
"I want to start with the assisted disabled person, to help some disabled people with physical disabilities, use assisted prosthetics, and be able to work and live normally."
Zhao Sheng nodded and said what he thought.
