Chapter 1,160 Using consciousness to control artificial intelligence systems
“All our human movements are controlled by our brains. After the brain issues commands, the bioelectric signals composed of relevant commands will be transmitted along the nerve network of the spine to the limbs and other parts of our human body.
When the spine is injured or pathological changes occur, the neural network connecting the brain to the limbs is destroyed, and the transmission of bioelectrical signals is naturally interrupted.
It's like a highway that is cut off and cannot be opened to traffic.
Our bioelectrical signal control technology is to use bioelectrical signal sensors to detect and capture these bioelectrical signals that are blocked in the transmission of the spinal cord and the near-brain part of the lesion, that is, at the upper end of the injury or lesion.
.
These bioelectrical signals are then identified and converted into system control programs to control various parts of our medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton. The bioelectrical signals originally transmitted to the lower limbs act on the medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton, replacing the lower limbs.
sports.
The medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton will act on the lower limbs bound to it, thereby driving the lower limbs to follow the movement.
In this way, we can use this medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton system to help our patients with lower limb paralysis stand up again and restore normal walking functions, even running and jumping functions."
Bang bang bang bang...
The audience applauded for a long time. I originally thought that this was just Wu Hao talking big words, but I didn't expect to hear this explanation and found out that they could really do it, which made everyone excited.
Wu Hao also smiled when he saw this, and then softened his tone and continued: "I just gave you a brief introduction in the simplest and most understandable language.
In fact, the technology of this medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton system is very complex, much more complicated than what I introduced.
For example, how to capture the motion bioelectrical signals in the spinal neural network, how to identify and interpret them, and how to convert them.
Secondly, there is the overall recognition response speed. Our human body transmits this bioelectrical signal very quickly, and we can basically perform body movements at will. This has become the potential movement instinct of our human body.
Our system needs to carry out capture and identification, conversion and transmission to equipment movement. No matter how we reduce the delay, the human body will definitely not be able to respond as quickly.
But in order to facilitate mobility and provide our wearers with a better user experience, we must minimize the delay.
At present, we have reached the limit of the equipment's delay that the current technology can achieve.
Our wearers will definitely have some difficulty in wearing it at the beginning, and the delay will be relatively high. This is because many people with paralysis have been paralyzed for a long time and their motor nerves have partially degenerated, so they need a longer adaptation period.
After a period of adaptation and training, our wearer can perform some normal walking, trotting and some less intense exercises.
Basically, it can restore more than 70% of the normal exercise ability, which is enough to cope with basic life.
Next, there are paralyzed patients caused by brain diseases. These paralyzed patients will definitely not be able to use this spinal nerve movement bioelectrical signal capture and control technology.
Therefore, we must change a control method, especially for some patients with high paraplegia, so this control method must be relaxed and simple enough to be suitable for these patients.
After trying many methods and technologies, we finally set our sights on the field of consciousness control technology.
The so-called consciousness control technology is actually familiar to everyone and has been performed in many movies and TV dramas.
In reality, consciousness control technology has also been used in practice. For example, our national team is studying the use of consciousness control technology to type, and the speed can reach more than one hundred words per minute, which is very fast.
Other scientific research teams have also focused their attention on these paralyzed patients and used consciousness control technology to control the movement of electric wheelchairs to serve these paralyzed patients.
And this time, we will also use consciousness control technology to control our medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton.
This kind of consciousness control technology is more direct, and our brain directly issues commands to the medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton.
But in fact, it is not easy to achieve it. There are already certain research results in how to capture our thinking consciousness.
That is to use the brain waves released by our human brains when we think to identify and understand the thinking content of our brains.
However, our human brains are very active. You are working basically all the time when you are awake, and various thoughts and ideas are emerging in an endless stream.
It would be very difficult to filter out these messy ideas and allow the equipment system to extract and identify relevant control commands.
The demonstrations of these thought control technologies we have seen so far are actually professionals who have received special training or training. Our professionals must be highly focused and not have other distracting thoughts or random thoughts.
Only in this way can these ritual control systems accurately recognize the thoughts of our brains and take corresponding actions.
We ordinary people certainly cannot do this, let alone have such a high level of concentration, especially for older people.
In addition, our usual movements are subconscious. But now we need to concentrate specifically on controlling movements, which is very troublesome and the experience is also very bad.
There may be a slight interruption from the outside world, and your mind may wander for a moment, then the movement may be interrupted or there may be wrong instructions.
Therefore, we must find a way to allow our patients to subconsciously control the movement of medical intelligent mechanical exoskeletons while also thinking about other things.
But right here, our scientific research work has reached a deadlock, and we can't find a clue for a while."
At this point, Wu Hao paused for a moment, looked at the guests who were listening in rapt attention, and continued to speak with a smile with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
So we decided to change our thinking, let ourselves go, and then invite experts and professors in related fields to have a joint discussion to find the light to solve the problem.
In the end, under the advice of relevant experts, we suddenly reacted. From the beginning to the end, we forgot one of the areas we are best at, and that is artificial intelligence technology.
We have always hoped and been working on using our minds to directly control medical intelligent mechanical exoskeletons.
Now that we are in trouble, can we change our thinking? Use consciousness control technology to control the artificial intelligence system, and then use the artificial intelligence system to control the medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton.
In this way, our thinking can be less involved in the control of the medical intelligent mechanical exoskeleton. We only need to issue some instructions at any time, and the artificial intelligence system can move independently, which can liberate the brain and thinking of our patients.
