Chapter 518 Biodynamic Type 1 Chip
Chen Changan touched his chin, looked at the display stand in front of him, and asked with thoughtful thought: "Which type of the brain-computer interface and the chip connected to it was successfully made?"
He gave more than one brain-computer operating chip, five or six, and the focus was different. It is not clear which one Li Yuntong conquers.
"It's Biodynamic Type 1." Li Yuntong explained.
“Type 1.”
Sure enough, it was just the most basic brain-computer operating chip that was successfully developed.
Biodynamic Type 1, you can tell just by looking at the name. This is a product that relies on bioelectricity for energy supply. That is to say, after being implanted into the brain, it only needs to be connected to neurons and can be used directly without providing any power supply. This can also reduce the chance of chip failure in the brain.
If you want to talk about where an electronic product is most likely to fail, it is undoubtedly a battery, especially an extremely stable thing like a chip. Only when a battery fails, damage can occur.
If no battery is needed, the stability is very high.
What is the biggest use of Biodynamic Type 1?
Treat epilepsy!
When the chip is implanted into the skull, the chip's data reading can monitor and read brain signals in real time.
And when the brain signal shows signs of epilepsy, the brain-computer interface signal is immediately used to stimulate a signal opposite to the abnormal voltage signal of epilepsy disease, thereby counteracting the abnormal signal generated by epilepsy and playing a role of real-time intervention.
In this way, epilepsy patients will never have epilepsy seizures again, because the confused brain signal that makes the body tremble abnormally is hedged.
In addition, the second major function is to treat Parkinson's patients.
The specific method is almost the same as the treatment of epilepsy. It also uses electrical signals to intervene and correct it, so that Parkinson's patients no longer have their hands trembling and can live a normal and stable life.
Finally, there is another function, which is to treat patients with paralysis in the lower body. Of course, it may not be useful for all paralyzed patients, but only for some patients with undamaged nerves.
On the one hand, the brain-computer interface chip can read the control signal of the patient's brain for walking, and on the other hand, it can apply corresponding signals to the patient's spine according to the read signal.
This allows some paralyzed patients to regain their ability to walk after training.
These three functions are actually the most important role of this brain machine chip.
The use of controlling other implanted prosthetics is just an additional function, and it does not necessarily require that everyone who is connected to the brain machine chip implants some implants.
This biodynamic type 1 is mainly used to treat some diseases that cannot be cured by conventional medical methods.
The chips designed specifically for controlling implanted prosthesis are actually Biodynamic Type 2.
However, judging from Li Yuntong’s meaning, the 2 type should have not been developed yet.
However, the function of Type 1 is also good. If it is really used to handle the control of the prosthesis, it can also be competent for this job with the ram manager and external connector.
Chen Changan estimated that among the technologies he compiled, the Biodynamic Type 1 chip should be the first chip designed when it first began to use brain-computer interfaces.
As for the 2nd, 3rd, military and reinforced products, they should be new products that emerged after technological progress.
For the current Ruikang Group, the technical limitations are still a bit large. After all, you can’t even walk and want to fly.
"Okay, it's already great to have Biodynamic Type 1. At least a series of tests and data collection on the brain-computer interface can be started."
"Don't expose our implanted prosthetic products at the beginning, just test the brain machine chip."
"Start with the treatment of epilepsy and Parkinson's patients."
Chen Changan ordered lightly.
The implantation of prosthetics is too sensitive and very topical. Humans have been fantasizing about this kind of cyberpunk cultural thing for decades.
Various games, movies and novels involving implanted philosophies are emerging one after another.
Now if Ruikang takes out a mature implantable prosthetic product, it will definitely cause another uproar.
Chen Changan doesn't want to make another big news now. The news caused by the organ regeneration equipment has not subsided yet. If this wave has not yet subsided, it will be troublesome to deal with it.
"It is claimed that we are testing a treatment for neurological diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson's."
By using a little basic words, you can conceal the situation of Ruikang's project from the public very well.
Anyway, this is not a lie.
Li Yuntong nodded: "Okay, then I will start making arrangements as soon as possible to recruit some Parkinson and epilepsy patients to conduct product testing."
"We have designed a surgical device that can complete automatic chip implantation. The entire operation takes less than an hour to complete, and is very safe."
"There have been tested using monkeys, the success rate of the surgery is 100%, there are no adverse reactions after implantation, and the monkey epilepsy disease has been successfully cured."
It is not uncommon to complete the surgical equipment that can automatically implant chips. Ten years ago, that guy Musk had already developed this kind of equipment, and also made an implantable brain machine chip and conducted biological tests.
After implanting a chip into the brain of a 9-year-old monkey, the monkey can play games with thoughts.
Although the monkey only successfully played the game for a few minutes, it was also a very good result.
However, this brain machine chip created by Musk cannot be considered a mature product.
He just implanted a wireless charging chip on both sides of the monkey's brain, and used micro currents carrying artificial programming signals to stimulate the specific functional areas of the monkey's brain, allowing the monkey to operate the joystick.
This kind of "control" is not actually what the monkey wants to do, and the actions made are meaningless. Strictly speaking, it is not considered that the monkey is really playing games. It is just that the brain is stimulated and the forced action of controlling the joystick is made.
At the same time, using electrophysiology principles, the neural signals formed in the brain formed by the game information obtained by monkeys through vision and other aspects are transmitted to the chips in the brain.
Simply put, it can only do two things: stimulating brain cells and transforming brain signals. In essence, it does not have any information connection with the brain. It is just a very superficial method of using brain-computer interfaces.
And it cannot last long. It can only stimulate the monkey's brain for a few minutes at a time. If it lasts for too long, the brain will be damaged by electricity.
To put it bluntly, if you install such a chip on a brain-dead person, and then let the chip stimulate some specific areas of the brain-dead brain, it may also allow the brain-dead person to move his hands and feet, or even stand up from the bed.
Just like the legendary "piercing corpse"...
However, this person still has no consciousness, should he die or should he die in his brain?
This is just a rough brain-stimulating function, and it actually has no meaning to apply it.
