Chapter 396 Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interface
Island artificial intelligence with programmable capabilities can rely on island quantum computers to complete huge calculations and solve some complex practical problems.
Xu You had a very bold idea.
If only I could connect my brain to the island's artificial intelligence in some way.
The intelligent entity formed after the combination will be extremely powerful.
Xu You's brain can use brain simulation to simulate this skill and simulate various complex reactions in his own brain very accurately .
Island artificial intelligence can complete various computational problems with huge computational intensity through island quantum computers.
Xu You's brain and the island quantum computer can complement each other.
This way of connection is very similar to a sci-fi concept——
Brain-computer interface.
Many scientific research institutions in the world are already conducting research on brain-computer interfaces.
Although it is not as bad as the plots in some science fiction movies, using brain waves to complete all kinds of incredible operations.
But some initial results have been achieved.
For example, it can convert some neural signals in the human brain into program codes that can be recognized by computers .
Even some disabled people can control robotic arms through brain-computer interfaces.
Brain-computer interface methods are divided into invasive and non-invasive.
As the name suggests, invasive methods require the brain-computer interface to be directly connected to the gray matter of the human brain.
In this way, the neural signals obtained are of higher quality and can better connect the human brain with computers.
But at the same time, this direct invasion of the brain may cause certain damage to the tissues, which may at best affect the quality of subsequent signal transmission, or at worst cause some immune responses in the human body.
Another type of brain-computer interface is non-invasive.
This method does not require opening an opening in the human brain, only wearing the corresponding equipment outside the brain.
Because of the existence of the skull, it will have a certain shielding and attenuation effect on the brain's nerve signals, electromagnetic waves emitted by neurons, etc.
This results in low quality of received signals, making it difficult to complete various instructions through these signals, and they are only of detection significance.
For Xu You now, both of these brain-computer interface methods have obvious disadvantages.
"Hey... you can't open a hole in my brain just to allow me to connect to the island's quantum computer."
If Xu You were already eighty years old, he wouldn't mind conducting experiments in this way.
However, Xu You is only in his twenties now. Performing a craniotomy on himself at this age is obviously not a wise choice.
As for the non-invasive method, because of the poor signal quality, it is difficult to use this method to allow Xu You's brain to control the island quantum computer.
"The safest method is to study non-invasive brain-computer interfaces," Xu You thought.
If we can find a way to increase the intensity of various signals emitted by the brain, there is still hope of completing the brain-computer connection through a non-invasive brain-computer interface.
Except this method.
Xu You had another idea.
That is, try to connect directly to the island quantum computer through your own powerful brain power.
This method is similar to the deep learning state and brain simulation function that Xu You obtained through the system, which cannot be explained by Xu You's current ability.
But these are all real technologies.
"Perhaps, when my learning level continues to improve, or when my brain power reaches a certain level, I will be able to gain the ability to project brain waves." Xu You thought.
However, at the fifth level of learning, one needs to accumulate 10,000 experience points to complete the upgrade task.
It takes a long time to accumulate 10,000 points of learning experience.
What's more, Xu You fainted due to overwork, which triggered the system's emergency protection mechanism and deducted 2,000 points of precious learning experience.
This puts Xu You further away from improving his learning level.
But no matter what, Xu You will not regret his choice at that time.
After all, learning experience can be accumulated again, but once life is over, it can never be recovered.
"Wait a minute... Is it possible for me to obtain this ability in advance through other means? Even a weakened version is possible."
At this moment, Xu You suddenly remembered his previous experience of learning the skill of "brain simulation".
Before Xu You officially acquired this skill from the system, he had accidentally learned a simplified version of this skill in advance.
However, due to his limited brain power, Xu You at that time was unable to complete the simulation of complex problems well.
Later, as his learning level improved, Xu Youcai officially mastered this skill.
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to try to test whether he had such talent.
The idea of directly controlling the computer through brain waves was quickly rejected by Xu You.
If brain waves really were that powerful, Xu You could even directly control other creatures.
After that, Xu You arranged for Cui Ying to help him purchase a microcurrent sensor.
This microcurrent sensor can detect the changes in magnetic field generated by brain currents by sticking it on the scalp.
Through testing, Xu You discovered that the Beta waves and Gamma waves in his brain were at a very high intensity.
These two types of brain waves can reflect a person's learning ability, memory, information processing ability, etc.
And when Xu You entered the deep learning state or brain simulation state.
The intensity of these brain waves becomes even stronger.
"If I can keep my brainwave intensity at a very high level...it is indeed possible to connect my brain to a computer through a non-invasive EEG interface."
After confirming the feasibility of this plan, Xu You began to conduct specific research on this plan.
The key here is the processing and research of EEG signals.
To this end, Xu You searched for a large number of books and papers related to brain waves, and communicated with several experts from Jilin University Medical School.
After continuous attempts, Xu You has been able to make the computer receive electrical signals from his own computer and convert them into corresponding information.
Looking at himself in the mirror, with his head full of data cables , Xu You couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It's still a little different from what I imagined."
Xu You’s ideal situation is to be able to control the island quantum computer wirelessly through his own brain waves.
The ultimate reality is to connect your brain to an ordinary computer through a non-invasive brain-computer mechanism.
