Chapter 39: Apple's Flexible Tradition

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

The human brain emits neural signals all the time. These signals are captured by motor sensors, but there will be many "noises" that make the device unable to accurately identify the true intentions of the human brain.

Zheng Li’s method is to extract the main signals through filtering algorithms and Fourier transforms, and then analyze them through the algorithm combined with ocular nerve signals to analyze their true intentions.

The method of neuralink 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 has people's non-invasive brain-computer connections already achieved success? You told me four years ago that non-invasive brain-computer connections are impossible to achieve?"

"You spent 150 million meters, and so far you have only successfully experimented on pigs and monkeys?"

Neuralink has completed rounds A and B rounds financing, among which the main funds for financing come from Musk, with a total of 158 million meters of financing.

Hodak murmured: "Synchron has only completed experiments on animals. The non-invasive brain-computer connection method has not been effective before, so none of the mainstream companies in the industry have conducted research along this route."

Synchron is a benchmark company of Neuralink, and the market value of these two companies is similar.

Unlike Neuralink who wants to develop into the consumer industry, Synchron wants to devote more to three medical vertical fields: neural repair, neuromodulation and neurodiagnosis.

Musk asked seriously: "Why did we implant the human scalp through a thin-film polymer probe last year, and this year we turned into a coin-shaped micro-device?"

Neuralink's new 2020 product requires removing a small piece of human skull and implanting a micro device in it.

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

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

Musk asked: "If you were a customer, would you choose the brain-computer connection product of Sci-tech Bio or our brain-computer connection product?"

"We have no advantage compared to Science and Technology Biotechnology."

Hodak shook his head suddenly: "No, we still have a chance!"

"According to data statistics, the recognition rate of brain-computer connections of Science and Technology Biotechnology in European and American language departments is 70%.

"As long as we know their technical means and follow their technical route, we will be the first to achieve the recognition rate of European and American language departments to 99%.

"We will succeed. Science and Technology Biotechnology occupies the Chinese market, we occupy the European and American markets, and we still have room for survival in the track connected by brain-computer."

The brain-computer connection device of Sci-Chuang Bio is mainly in the mobile phone industry application side. Synchron has no overlap with their main business. Instead, Musk's neuralink is the direct opponent of Sci-Chuang Bio in the field of brain-computer connection.

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

"I asked Spacex's laboratory to conduct preliminary research on the technology of Science and Technology Biotechnology. They made breakthroughs in chips. Their chips can filter the noise of neural signals first."

"Then there is the algorithm. The standardized API interface they provide. After the signals collected by the chip are processed by algorithmically, they get the neural signal closest to the user's true intention."

"Algorithm engineers speculate that Sci-Tech Bio uses a new algorithm that combines common algorithms such as sparse representation, discrete wavelet transformation, and Fourier transformation."

"Since the samples provided by Kechuang Biotech are a closed package, it will take time to decode them."

"You will conduct research on chips first. How can we develop similar chips bypassing the patents of Sci-tech Biotechnology."

"I will put Spacex in full responsibility for the algorithm. At that time, you will set up a cooperation group to complete this matter together."

"In addition, we can dig into researchers from Sci-tech and innovation biology, and we need to know their technical routes."

"I will give you one year at most!" Musk yelled at last.

Neuralink's technical accumulation is still very strong. Musk gave a year based on the proposed technology route of Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology.

What Hordaq remembered: "Danny Lee, head of the research department of the R&D Center of Sci-Tech Biology Lion City, 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 the head of the R&D department."

All the big tech companies in Amelican got the samples given to them by Apple.

Apple organized people to conduct tests as soon as it got the product, and after the test, it found that the effect was amazing.

Apple cracked it on its own and found that it could not unpack the program, and there were many things that were not understood by the chip, so it specially sent it to relevant technology companies, hoping to use their hands to crack the secrets of Science and Technology Creation Biology.

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

If it is another mobile phone brand, the new technology will be released half a year later than the manufacturers in the same industry, and it will be clear that it will be long since then.

But iPhones are different. After the Android camp launched a large-scale full-screen display, the iPhone X, which was launched half a year later, was still selling well.

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

This is the appeal and charm of iPhone. It truly brings product strength to the extreme, and users want iPhone.

At this time, Cook was conducting a remote video conference with Isabel, the head of Greater China. Cook was reserved for Isabel's proposal:

"The recognition rate of Sci-tech Bio's brain-computer connection chip is too low for Amelican users, which means that they can only launch the iPhone exclusively in Greater China in Greater China."

"This does not conform to the convention of iPhones. We can wait until the technology in most areas around the world matures and then add brain-computer connection function to the iPhone."

Isabel disagrees with Cook's opinion: "Sorry, I completely disagree with you. In the past, there was a tradition of a new iPad product released with the iPhone every fall launch."

(There is no difference between you and you in English communication, so you are here)

“Now this tradition is gone.”

"In the past, Iphones would send chargers and headphones, but this tradition is gone."
