Back to the large dormitory upstairs of the laboratory, in fact, the laboratory was originally a three-story building with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters that I bought in the suburbs. The first floor garage and warehouse were the 2nd floor, the second floor was the small laboratory, and the third floor was the dormitory. Eight young men lived here together, but the others had their own salary a month ago and went their separate ways.

According to the news, this city lockdown may last for more than one month. Of course, this impact is not too great for those who are used to staying at home. You can find out where the technical defects are...

However, in the past month, all hardware devices have been inspected from beginning to end, and no defects have been found. Moreover, there are no problems with animal tests, so the bigger possible problem is still the tester.

The experimenter was a teenager with myasthenia gravis. His muscles had been severely deteriorated and he was lying in bed for many years. Therefore, some unknown reasons appeared, which caused the teenager to fall into a deep sleep and could not wake up like a vegetative person. If he was a completely healthy person, the possibility of the experiment failure should be low, at least it would not make people unconscious.

When I returned to the laboratory, I looked at the mouse that had undergone chip implantation tests, and was still alive and very moist. After several months, there were still no abnormalities.

I really don’t believe that this passive chip will make a person sleepless, but the facts are in front of me. The boy has been sleeping for more than a month but still has not been awakened. He is like a vegetative person, and the reason cannot be found.

Related technical drawings for implantable chips were retrieved from the computer, and the investigation was started again, starting from the most basic implantable chips.

Speaking of which, the implanted chip is not complicated at all. It is a passive chip with special loops constructed from graphite and nanosilver.

The entire chip is no more than 0.1 mm thick and is no more than 3 mm long and width. The micro chip contains about 90,000 special circuits with a scale of only a few micrometers. The main function is to collect, rectify and convert the brain wave information of the brain.

It is necessary to cooperate with an external special helmet and a very complex small server to perfectly decode the brain wave signal and convert it into digital information.

Of course, this set of implanted chips can not only be read, but can also be input in reverse to convert digital information into nerve cell pulse signals...

The outer layer of the implanted chip is made of materials with excellent biocompatible properties and has been commercially available on the market for a long time, so there is no risk. The chip itself is a passive chip. Therefore, as long as the special helmet is taken off, the information will stop stimulating, so I really can't think of how this technology can make people unconscious.

In addition, the implantation method is also very simple. The electrode chip is only one millimeter in diameter after being curled. It can also be implanted under the skin with an ordinary syringe. With a drop of normal saline injected under the scalp, the electrode chip will unfold in normal saline. As the normal saline is absorbed, the electrode chip will be implanted, and the risks of the entire process can be completely ignored.

Therefore, accidents caused by chip implantation can be ruled out, material problems can be ruled out, and the implantation process is also fine, and all problems have returned to the special physical condition of the tester...

"Maybe you should implant it for yourself and see the situation. Maybe you can find out where the problem occurs. There is also a complete set of backup implantable electrode chips in the laboratory, which can be implanted for yourself." Suddenly, I felt it was necessary to implant it for yourself to see the situation.

When I thought about this, I couldn't help but try to do the experiment myself. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, I finally decided to implant it for myself to see the situation.

Speaking of which, I actually thought about trying it myself before, but I have never taken action. But now I don’t have to experiment on my own and can’t find the reason at all.

Of course, the most important thing is that after more than a month of careful inspection and analysis, the problem can be determined. It should not be technically present, so the risk factor of the test is really not high, and it may be lower than the probability of being hit by a car across the road, which is indeed worth a try.

Semi-implantable chips are not just one chip. In fact, the entire system needs to be implanted as many as dozens. Then, if used in combination with the specially made helmet decoding, it can read brain thinking with extremely high accuracy, and even directly input visual and auditory information into the cerebral cortex through special devices on the helmet.

It can even synthesize tactile information, at least theoretically, it can synthesize tactile sense, because all touch is just a trace of bioelectric signal transmitted back from nerve endings, but the real tactile sense is synthesized by the brain.

Just like some people can have phantom limb pain, they are obviously a person who has not had hands for a long time, but they can feel the severe pain coming from the hands, which is actually just a tactile message synthesized by the brain.

...

After a quick lunch, I came to the laboratory again. Although I had never shaved it, I had to give it my best to test it out and shave my head in minutes.

Everything was ready and lying on the laboratory bench. Although I was a little nervous, I still clicked the confirmation button on the left screen. Then the implantation program began. The laser scanner quickly positioned the brain. After a little calibration, the implantation device transformed by the robot arm also began the implantation program of the electrode chip.

Hundreds of electrode chips were implanted at one time, but they first implanted the control area of ​​the movement functional area. More than thirty chips were implanted, and more than thirty small packets were bulged, as if they were bitten by a mosquito. Although the whole process was not very pleasant, it was not very painful.

After waiting for a few hours, the saline was completely absorbed without any adverse reactions. Then I brought the special helmet that looked very simple but actually took countless thoughts. After roughly calibrating the position of the electrode chip implanted under the skin, I started a brain wave signal reading test in the cerebral cortex...

The extremely simple virtual person on the screen moved smoothly as the ideas in his brain, and as the experiment continued, the data was constantly adjusted, the control became easier and easier, and the reaction speed and accuracy were quite high.

It was just that after less than half an hour of training, it successfully completed crawling, walking, running, jumping and other actions. The signal reading accuracy of the motion control unit can be said to be quite high, which is not surprising at all. In fact, the test has been completed on the monkey, and the monkeys in the test can control the mechanical arm to grab apples and eat.

The first step of the experiment was easily completed, but there was not much excitement, because the result was not surprising at all.

After completing brain wave reading and completing the motion transient chip implantation, I lay back on the laboratory bench and continued to start the chip implantation of the next functional area. This time I tried to manage the tactile cerebral cortex, but this kind of visual processing is very difficult. At least from the description of the teenager, the visual is more like something touched, and another simpler device that uses the tongue to supplement simple vision.

Of course, with the assistance of semi-implantable chips, the accuracy may be improved. It is no longer a simple hundreds of electromagnetic contacts, which simulates the approximate outline of the object. With the combined action of more than thirty electrode chips, there should be a chance to form tens of thousands of electromagnetic stimulation points...

If the future test goes well, it should help many people with visual impairments. Of course, if used with some detection equipment, human vision can be completely enhanced. For example, with infrared detectors, you can observe the world in infrared mode, and with special radars, electromagnetic wave reflections, bioelectricity, etc. can be detected.

Of course, these things can actually be easily implemented through supporting AR eyes, but there is no need to implant chip assistance. The real application of this technology is still used to create a real virtual reality game cabin and experience a very perfect virtual reality, unlike now, which is not to fool people with two screens and two magnifying glasses.

After a while of random thoughts, I finally pressed the electrode chip implantation procedure to assist in vision. Another long and slightly uncomfortable implantation process, and more than 30 small packets slightly bulged out of the visual cortex of the hind brain.
Chapter completed!
