"It''s too sci-fi, brother." Chu Zhixi said with a smile. "I don''t think there will be a breakthrough in 20 years with the progress of existing science and technology."
"Musk''s company has been working on man-machine interface, which is known. Normally, there are not many people hiding under the water." Wu Mian said blandly, "they are willing to pay any price for immortality."
"Is this selling the soul to the devil?"
"Not really." Wu Mian said, "but I think this technology will be mature for at least 30 years. It''s not mature yet. Maybe we can catch up, but I''m only interested in brain functional zoning."
"Isn''t there already research results?"
"The previous research results can''t be used in surgery, but the probability is just a guess. With GE''s machine, I''ll try to write a software." Wu Mian said, "go home and sleep first. I''ll think about it and find some information."
"Oh, good." although Chu Zhixi is an expert in neurosurgery, he doesn''t understand the mechanical principle and doesn''t want to understand it.
"You''ve seen the software application image made by Dr. Aude in France once. It''s very beautiful." Wu Mian said, "I''ll certainly make it more beautiful than him."
"It''s OK to use it. It doesn''t matter whether it''s beautiful or not." Chu Zhixi said.
"To buy some experimental rats, orangutans are the best. Unfortunately, there is no laboratory. If orangutans appear in the hospital, I''m afraid there will be problems," Wu Mian said.
"In the lab in Texas, the orangutan ran out and scared me," Chu Zhixi said, touching his heart with his hand.
"So you can only use rats or rabbits at most," said Wu Mian. "I prefer rats, but you will be afraid. I''ll think about it and buy some rabbits for the experiment. A rat costs more than 1000 yuan, and a rabbit is cheap."
"Hmm? Are domestic rabbits cheap?"
"Yes, the rabbit head, the mother of Sichuan people, is said to eat 300 million rabbits every year. How strong the rabbit''s reproductive ability is, it''s not a matter for me to say that Australia''s ecological disaster is not at all. Is that enough rabbits for Sichuan people? I''m kidding." Wu Mian said casually.
"Rabbit''s brain..." Chu Zhixi said and began to meditate.
"What I want to test is my software. I only do nuclear magnetic resonance and keep doing it. I can modify the software data." Wu Mian said with a smile. "I can see clearly the nerve bundles of rabbits or rats. If I don''t do destructive tests, I can''t use a few."
"How long will it take?"
"I don''t know. Let''s see. After I go back, I''ll contact the neuralink team to see if I can ask for some useful data." Wu Mian said.
"Their technology is more commercial."
"Well, it''s just because it''s a commercial application, not the most cutting-edge, so it''s possible," Wu Mian said thoughtfully.
The research conducted by Musk''s neuralink team is not strictly the most advanced.
In the past 15 years, European and American scientists have been testing the brain implantation of patients. Through the implantation of chips, patients can move the cursor or robot arm.
The way of implanting chips into the brain is not new enough, and there are many relevant experiments and tests. Neuralink''s brain computer interface is not representative of the times.
However, there are large consortia behind other experimental parties, and the research progress is never announced. Wu Mian is a Chinese. It is almost impossible to obtain such top secret data.
These studies themselves involve themes such as eternity and immortality, and any breakthrough will be kept secret.
Musk''s business company may be an alternative.
Back to the rental house, after washing, Wu Mian coaxed Chu Zhixi to sleep, and then opened his notebook to contact neuralink.
But the answer disappointed Wu Mian.
Even for commercial companies such as neuralink, data on brain computer interfaces are tightly blocked. Moreover, neuralink did not hesitate because of Wu Mian''s position in the medical industry. They refused very simply, and there was no possibility of joint development.
Wu Mian shrugged, which was expected by him.
Open the academic website, find the article of Dr. Denis Ducreux, professor and director of the Department of diagnostic neuroradiology of the University of Paris south of BIC ê tre hospital in France, and start to study it.
When GM''s MRI machine was first produced, Dr. Denis Ducreux used a 48 channel head coil and his own DTI sequence to capture clear MRI images.
In this video, he uses a green sphere to represent the gray matter of the brain and a red line to represent the white matter pathway in the brain. The larger the sphere, the more connections between them and the white matter channel, indicating that the stronger the nerve connection.
The beautiful image makes people feel the magic of biological structure. But Wu Mian didn''t take a more look, because he had read this article when it came out half a year ago.
Looking for recent information, Wu Mian found that there were no more scientific reports, so he sat up straight and stretched his waist.
He stood up gently and saw that Chu knew Xi was asleep. Wu Mian tiptoed out the smoke and went to the balcony.
Lit a cigarette and looked at bajingzi under the cover of night. Wu Mian fell into meditation.
He inversely deconstructs the DTI sequence established by Dr. Denis Ducreux, which is not difficult for Wu Mian, but how to realize his idea.
In any case, Wu Mian''s purpose is always to treat diseases. The little guy is still "sleeping" in the sword association hospital. He always tries to wake him up.
However, a "vegetable" of unknown origin does not have any previous data. It is not easy to do this.
Although Wu Mian felt difficult, he did not have any fear of difficulties.
Scientific research is like this. There is a fog ahead without any light. I don''t know whether it is right or wrong at every step of going out. Some researchers have studied for a lifetime and finally find that they have taken the wrong path.
Just like the ancient idiom "the opposite direction", it is basically impossible to go around and come back.
Wu Mian knows that he is facing a better situation.
At least there have been decades of accumulation, and countless researchers have explored the direction. Moreover, Wu Mian highly suspected that the signaarchitect3.0t equipment produced by general medical and the DTI sequence established by Dr. Denis Ducreux restored the distribution of brain nerve fiber bundles by calculating the different diffusion speed of water molecules in different directions, which is a follow-up study of cloned sheep.
In other words, in order to study "thinking", foreign researchers have prepared weapons and explored a new set of methods.
It''s always easier to stand on the shoulders of giants.
After smoking, Wu Mian didn''t go back immediately and didn''t waste a minute to work. But quietly watching the night of bajingzi, lost in thought.
In the same night, Wang Qingshan was also meditating. He was lying on the hospital bed looking at the snow-white ceiling and couldn''t sleep.
