Invasive brain-computer connection devices require implanting electrodes into the human cerebral cortex to obtain neural signals, which can easily cause bacterial infections. Therefore, the FDA has been reluctant to allow Neuralink to conduct large-scale human trials.

The human brain emits neural signals all the time, and these signals are captured by motor sensors. However, there will be a lot of "noise", making it impossible for the device to accurately identify the real intention of the human brain.

Zheng Li's method is to extract the main signals through filtering algorithms and Fourier transforms, and then use algorithms to analyze the eye nerve signals to analyze their true intentions.

Neuralink's method is to implant electrodes into the human brain. If the cerebral cortex is not enough, I will implant it deeper into the skull layer.

This method is extremely harmful to the human body.

Musk became even more angry: "Why did you tell me four years ago that non-invasive brain-computer connection is impossible to achieve when other people's non-invasive brain-computer connection has already achieved results?"

"You spent 150 million yuan, but so far you have only succeeded in experiments on pigs and monkeys?"

Neuralink has completed Series A and Series B financing, with the main financing coming from Musk, with a total financing of 158 million yuan completed.

Hordak murmured: "Syn has only completed experiments on animals. The non-invasive brain-computer connection method has not been effective before, so no mainstream companies in the industry have conducted research along this route."

Syneuralink's benchmark companies, the market values ​​these two companies are similar.

Unlike Neuralink, which wants to develop into the consumer industry, Syn wants to focus more on the three medical vertical fields of neurorepair, neuromodulation and neurodiagnosis.

Musk asked seriously: "Why did we still implant probes into the human scalp through thin-film polymers last year, and this year we turned them into coin-shaped micro-devices?"

Neuralink's new 2020 product requires removing a small piece of a person's skull and then implanting a tiny device into it.

It is much more radical than the 2019 version, Hodak explained: "Because last year's thin film polymer was a flexible material, the implantation surgery was very cumbersome, and the implantation failure rate was close to 10%."

"Although our new device requires cutting off a small piece of the skull, the difficulty of the operation is actually reduced."

Musk asked: “If you were a customer, would you choose Kechuang Biotech’s brain-computer connection products or ours?”

"Compared with Kechuang Biotechnology, we have no advantage."

Hordak shook his head violently: "No, we still have a chance!"

"According to statistics, the recognition rate of Kechuang Biotech's brain-computer connection in European and American languages ​​is 70%."

"As long as we know their technical methods and follow their technical routes, we will be the first to achieve a recognition rate of 99% for European and American languages."

"We will be successful. Kechuang Biotech occupies the Chinese market, and we occupy the European and American markets. On the track of brain-computer connection, we still have room for survival."

Kechuang Biotech's brain-computer connection devices are mainly used in the mobile phone industry. Syn has no overlap with their main business. However, Musk's Neuralink is Kechuang Biotech's direct competitor in the field of brain-computer connection.

Musk: "It's precisely because you still have a chance that you can still stand here and talk to me."

"With the technology of Kechuang Biotechnology, I asked the spaceX laboratory to conduct preliminary research. They have made a breakthrough in the chip. Their chip can filter the noise of neural signals first."

"Then there is the algorithm. The standardized API interface they provide uses the algorithm to process the signals collected by the chip to obtain the neural signal closest to the user's true intention."

"Algorithm engineers speculate that Kechuang Biotech uses a brand-new algorithm that combines common algorithms such as sparse representation, discrete wavelet transform, and Fourier transform."

"Since the sample provided by Kechuang Biotech is a closed package, it will take time to decode it."

"You should conduct research on the chip first. How can we bypass Kechuang Biotechnology's patent and develop a similar chip?"

"I will let SpaceX take full responsibility for the algorithm. When the time comes, you will set up a cooperation group to complete this matter together."

"In addition, we can recruit researchers from Kechuang Biotechnology. We need to know their technical routes."

"One year, I will give you one year at most!" Musk finally shouted.

Neuralink's technology accumulation is still very strong. Musk gave one year based on the idea that if they can understand the technical route of Kechuang Biotechnology.

Hodak remembered something: "Danny Li, the head of the research department of Kechuang Biotech's Lion City R&D Center, was previously the leader of a research group in our company."

"We can dig him back."

Musk agreed: "Yes, if he is willing to come back, give him the position of head of the R&D department."

America's largest technology companies have received samples from Apple.

Apple organized people to test the product as soon as it got it, and the results were amazing.

Apple conducted its own cracking and found that it could not unpack the program and there were many things about the chip that it did not understand, so it sent it to relevant technology companies, hoping to use their hands to crack the secrets of science and technology.

"There is still time before the launch of iPhone 13. We can add a brain-computer connection device to iPhone 13. An iPhone that can be controlled by the brain is definitely an epoch-making product!"

If it were another mobile phone brand that came out with new technology half a year later than manufacturers in the same industry, it would have been dead long ago.

But iPhone is different. After the Android camp launched full-screen displays on a large scale, iPhoneX, launched in the second half of the year, is still selling well.

Android phones frequently launch folding screen phones, but there are still a large number of consumers looking forward to a folding screen phone from Apple.

This is where the appeal and charm of the iPhone lie. It truly maximizes its product capabilities and makes users want iPhones.

At this time, Cook was having a remote video conference with Isabel, the head of Greater China. Regarding Isabel’s proposal, Cook had reservations:

"The recognition rate of Kechuang Biotechnology's brain-computer connection chip is too low for users of Amerikan, which means that it can only launch iPhones exclusive to Greater China in the Greater China region."

"This is not in line with the iPhone's practice. We can wait until the technology matures in most regions around the world before adding the brain-computer connection function to the iPhone."

Isabel disagreed with Cook's opinion: "Sorry, I completely disagree with you. In the past, there was a tradition that a new iPad product would be released together with the iPhone's annual autumn launch."

(There is no difference between you and you when communicating in English, so we use you here)

"Now this tradition is gone."

"In the past, iPhones would come with chargers and headphones, but this tradition is gone."
Chapter completed!
