Digital Kingdom

For the average investor, the amount of data in the brain is too large, and there may not be any progress in their lifetime.

However, He Qian has a deep understanding of the digital group's ability to process data. The reason why brain-computer companies have made breakthroughs one after another lies in the scientific research team on the one hand, and the technical support provided by the headquarters on the other.

He Qian had doubts before, but when the smart speaker came out, he realized it.

For the current artificial intelligence, data processing is its strong point.

He Gan even has further speculation that the Xiaozhi currently launched should not be the most advanced intelligence the company has mastered.

In the mysterious "Blue Brain" laboratory at the group headquarters, there are even more amazing results.

Perhaps the next step will be the birth of strong artificial intelligence.

Zhao Ziming was very satisfied with He Gan's quick response.

Being able to associate a memory chip with a brain-computer interface, and then care about the progress of the other party's experiment, understand the dilemma of the project, and immediately make up his mind to contact oneself, this quality surpasses the average laboratory owner.

He Gan even checked the information and asked the legal counsel.

Although Professor Berg's research field is very cutting-edge, it is too poor in practicality and does not involve national defense security. Digital Group can be used as a project investor.

The key problem is that Professor Berg has no intention to work in China.

Although China's economy is booming and all kinds of environments are comparable to those of the United States, Professor Berg, as a native Anglo-Saxon, has never been abroad in his life. It is almost impossible for him to leave his homeland.

As for the amount of the first investment, it is only tens of millions of dollars, which is not very important.

There is another reason why He Gan called overnight.

Someone else is eyeing this project.

The Japanese are very powerful in the American science and technology circle and have many eyes and ears. Although Professor Berg's project does not see the profit overdue, the prospects are good. It is not a big deal to spend tens of millions.

He Gan originally wanted to deal with Berg for two days. Seeing this situation, he immediately compromised. He didn't care about the boss's break time, so he called directly from overseas.

Zhao Ziming pondered, hesitating.

Even if the small news is in hand, he is not very sure about the memory chip, after all, the complexity of the human brain is far beyond imagination.

If the brain-computer interface only involves the external functions of the brain, then the memory chip has penetrated into the brain.

Regarding the brain, there is a famous metaphor, a special image, that the brain is a "three-pound universe".

You know, the number of neurons in the human brain is close to 100 billion, which is as many as the number of stars in the Milky Way.

The reason why we can complete complex cognitive behaviors like "thinking and imagining" all stems from this huge network of neurons.

Whenever we have an idea, at least millions of neurons are activated in the brain. This state is like looking down at the night city from an airplane, huge, shining, and shocking.

The "New York Times" once published two photos, one is the neuron network of the mouse brain, the other is the galaxy of the universe, and the two photos are placed side by side. They are surprisingly similar, and it is almost indistinguishable.

Brain science and neuroscientists have a particularly grand idea, called the Human Connection Group Project.

This plan is to draw a precise map of the arrangement of all neurons in the brain universe, just like marking the positions of Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury in the solar system.

Harvard, University of California, Massachusetts Hospital, the world's top academic and medical structures, have all participated in this plan.

The project started in 2010 and was originally planned to be completed in five years, but with the current progress, 2020 may not be successful.

The complexity of the brain is far beyond human imagination.

He Gan judged in the email that the Japanese should only be interested, and may not be implemented, but he did not dare to bet, only let the boss decide.

Zhao Ziming drank the coffee in the cup and started to reply to He Gan.

Difficulties are clearly visible. People who are a little sane will not have hope in this. The probability of success is very low.

However, along the way, it is not all gambling.

Only a madman can change the world.

Today, Zhao Ziming's original intention has not changed.

He has earned enough money. In the foreseeable future, his wealth will continue to expand, reaching an astronomical figure.

Power, with the development of the career, mutual promotion and mutual influence, one day in the future, he will become a figure in the propaganda, the existence that countless people look up to.

Women are nothing more than condiments. The rings are fat, thin, thin and colorful.

If Zhao Ziming has any pursuit, it is his original intention to change the world.

After the "consent" message was sent, Zhao Ziming's heart surged with pride. At this moment, he thought a lot.

If memories can be backed up and stored in the form of chips, what about human consciousness?What about emotions?

If memories, emotions, and consciousness can all be converted into electronic information, stored in a chip or uploaded to the cloud, can one person achieve immortality in the digital world?

It sounds like a fantasy. A behavior can be copied. How can irrational and non-objective emotions be transformed into electronic information?

According to the information given by He Gan, all this is really possible.

Moran Cerf of Northwestern University put forward the concept of "sensory decoupling".

"Feeling separation" means that your experience and your feelings are not necessarily bound together.

For example, to eat chocolate, you can use the brain-computer interface to directly send some data and algorithms to the limbic system. When the limbic system receives the data, it feels "eating chocolate" and gains the pleasure and pleasure of eating chocolate, but in reality There is no need to actually eat a piece of chocolate.

In this case, your happiness or sadness can be separated.

Similarly, modern cognitive science believes that our self-cognition system is not something that existed in the early stages of human development or even before humans, but was produced in continuous evolution.

The self-cognition system cannot directly know how good our mood is. It judges by synthesizing our physical characteristics. Therefore, it sometimes produces misunderstandings.

There is an example to illustrate that a psychologist in Canada tested everyone's love attitude on two bridges, one is a strong stone bridge, the other is a swaying chain bridge.He found that the chance of successful love on the iron bridge is much higher than that on the stone bridge.

On the stone bridge, stability is not afraid, so there is no change in characteristics.On the iron bridge, swaying around will cause fear, fear of secreting hormones, rapid heartbeat, blushing, and thinking of falling in love with each other.

This means that various physiological feedbacks will have a strong influence on the psychology, and even in a certain sense, psychological cognition is originally based on physiological feedback.

In this way, things like emotion and consciousness can be easily cracked, backed up, and stored.

At that time, digital immortality is no longer a dream.
