Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 379 Starting with auxiliary prostheses

Five p.m.

Zhao Sheng finished writing part of the algorithm and sent it to Qi Heng.

Recently, Zhao Sheng and Qi Heng's [Health Assistant] have made very good profits. 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 increasingly unclear about Zhao Sheng's next plan.

After completing these tasks, Zhao Sheng returned to the office.

Next, Zhao Sheng made a routine check of the room, and by 5:30, he was ready to get off work on time.

However, just when Zhao Sheng was about to leave the office, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was Qi Heng's call.

Seeing Qi Heng's call, Zhao Sheng knew that it must be some of the algorithms on brain-computer interface and human-computer interaction that he had just sent to Qi Heng, and Qi Heng had some inspiration.

"Dr. Zhao, where are you now? I want to see you right away!"

As soon as the call 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, we knew how Qi Heng was feeling at the moment.

"You are in the company, I will go over now."

Zhao Sheng said on the other end of the phone.

Originally, he wanted to talk to Qi Heng about brain-computer interface algorithms, so he wrote part of the algorithm and sent it to him directly.

Although the [Health Assistant] developed by him and Qi Heng has indeed been profitable in recent months, neither Zhao Sheng nor Qi Heng will be satisfied with just developing a smart bracelet software.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Qi Heng said immediately on the other end of the phone.

Six pm.

Zhao Sheng drove to the company and went 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 are here. Come quickly 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 had been silent during this period, and thought he had returned to clinical work, but the algorithm that Zhao Sheng sent just now really shocked him.

You know, how to link the interaction between human consciousness and the digital world is a very cutting-edge subject now, and many people are paying attention to it. No, in "The Wandering Earth 2", the daughter of the hero played by Liu passed away, and her consciousness It is preserved through the chip, realizing digital immortality.

For another example, in "Black Empire", human consciousness is connected to the virtual environment, and people can experience different lives in the virtual world.

These cool-looking scenes are all inseparable from a key technology, which 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.

"it is good."

Zhao Sheng nodded and walked towards Qi Heng.

Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng clarified Qi Heng's doubts, and the two sat on the sofa, made tea, and continued chatting about neural decoding algorithms.

"Dr. Zhao, the current difficulty in brain-computer interface technology lies in the decoding of brain nerve signals. With this algorithm, we can do a lot of things."

Qi Heng said happily.

"Dr. Zhao, how did you come up with the idea of ​​developing such an algorithm?"

After a pause, Qi Heng said again in confusion.

"Now regarding brain-computer interfaces, some companies have developed invasive brain-computer interfaces. In fact, for patients with nervous system injuries, my center has developed nerve regeneration technology, so invasive brain-computer interfaces will not be possible in the future. no need."

"Moreover, the field of brain-computer interface, just like the field of artificial intelligence, currently has a lot of hype issues. For example, some people think that in the future, humans can download the brain and upload content, and install a chip in the head to have some skills, which reminds me "The Matrix" and many other similar science fiction movies."

"But actually we can't put a probe into the human head to download the contents of the brain. This will not happen at all because human memory is stored in an analog way rather than a digital way, so in science fiction movies This situation of "retrieval of memory" will never happen."

Zhao Sheng said slowly.

"So what we can do in the future is human-computer interaction, right?"

Qi Heng nodded, he fully agreed with what Zhao Sheng said.

"Yes, in the field of human-computer interaction, I think there are three things that will never happen. Human beings cannot upload any content to the brain simultaneously, nor can they obtain special functions through some implanted technical means, such as possessing something in an instant. skills, and the memory cannot be downloaded to any digital device."

Zhao Sheng continued.

"Yes, for example, artificial intelligence. Most basic algorithmic statistical tools are now used in the field of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is also very useful and powerful in medicine and other disciplines. However, the term artificial intelligence is just It was born in the fifties as a good marketing tool.”

"The term was born when computer scientist John McCarthy wanted to hold a conference and needed to raise money to fund it. He needed a concept that was impactful and suitable for the U.S. government to fund."

"In fact, intelligence is generated when creatures like us interact with the environment and other creatures in order to survive and overcome difficulties. 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 research direction is actually artificial intelligence.

But currently, the public still has a very big misunderstanding about artificial intelligence.

"Nowadays, computer nerve signals, that is, brain wave receiving equipment, actually have mature products. Mechanical limbs that can be controlled by programs have also been developed in the field of engineering machinery."

"What is most lacking in allowing humans to directly control machinery is the decoding algorithm for brain signals that you have developed, Dr. Zhao."

After a pause, Qi Heng said happily. At this moment, he seemed to see the brain-computer interface device he and Zhao Sheng researched being launched on a large scale and widely used in various fields.

By that time, maybe the company he founded together with Zhao Sheng can become the second Apple.

"I want to start by assisting the disabled and help some disabled people with missing limbs to use auxiliary prostheses to work and live normally."

Zhao Sheng nodded and expressed his thoughts.
