CTOnews.com9: yesterday, the 2022 World artificial Intelligence Congress was held at the Shanghai World Expo Center and will last until September 3. Today, Naohu Technology unveiled China's first semi-intrusive brain-computer interface device, as well as a high-frequency EEG signal processor and software algorithm cloud platform.

Peng Lei, founder and CEO of Naohu Technology, said that this brain-computer interface integrated semi-implanted medical-grade BCI product with a volume of 32 cubic centimeters and a weight of 38 grams can effectively reduce discomfort for patients and reduce interference with daily life, making it easy to care for. At the same time, the product is made of medical grade titanium alloy, which effectively reduces the immune rejection reaction. The product adopts medical grade packaging, which has good air tightness and water tightness, which can ensure long-term safety in vivo.

According to reports, the product supports up to 256channels, can collect frequency up to 30KHz, and can effectively collect Splike signals. At the same time, the sampling accuracy of the product reaches 16Bit, which ensures the collection quality.

In order to meet more application requirements, the product is also scalable and has wearable data processing module. The expansion module adopts ergonomic design and can be placed on the auricle. the overall weight of the expanded product is less than 70g, the data transmission rate can reach 24MBps, the battery can be charged for 2-4 hours, can last for 8-12 hours, and has 5.0high-speed Bluetooth communication function.

A year ago, the Tao Hu team from Shanghai Institute of Microsystems of the Chinese Academy of Sciences won the SAIL Award (Superior AI Leader), the highest award in the 2021 World artificial Intelligence Conference, for its minimally invasive implantable high-throughput flexible brain-computer interface project. This year, Tao Hu joined hands with Peng Lei to complete the technical landing.

"treating patients and saving lives is the first task in the research and development of brain-computer interface technology," Tao Hu said in an interview. Progressive freeze, high paraplegia and aphasia all belong to impaired motor perception. Through brain-computer interface technology, although patients can not speak, they can still use their minds to synthesize language and choose which language to synthesize; although patients can not move their limbs, they can still control external mechanical equipment. "

According to China Business report, the brain-computer interface technology has passed the ethical approval of clinical trials by medical institutions such as Huashan Hospital and Ruijin Hospital, and is carrying out human clinical application verification of flexible brain-computer interface for the diagnosis and treatment of major neurological diseases such as progressive frostbite and high paraplegia. Mao Ying, director of Huashan Hospital, said that brain-computer interface technology can better protect patients' cognitive, language and other neurofunctional areas, minimizing minimally invasive damage.

Peng Lei said that in the next five years, the brain-computer interface will be targeted at scientific research and medical fields to help patients with ALS, high paraplegia and visual / hearing impairment to further treat. In another five years, brain-computer interfaces will be involved in health, games, education and other areas to help children improve their attention and alleviate ADHD. In the future, brain-computer interface technology is expected to achieve the coexistence of knowledge and memory, from man-machine symbiosis to man-machine twinning.

CTOnews.com learned that the brain-computer interface refers to the direct connection created between the human or animal brain and external devices, which can realize the exchange of information between the brain and the device. Brain-computer interface includes chips, software, electrodes, surgical implantation technology and other aspects, which is an organic combination of engineering and medicine.

In 2016, Musk founded artificial intelligence startup Neuralink, which focuses on brain-computer interfaces. Neuralink has previously demonstrated its brain implants in pigs and monkeys. On August 22 this year, Musk said he would update the latest developments on brain-computer interfaces on Halloween on October 31.

In a podcast interview in late August, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Meta is also working on neural interface technology and sees it as part of its push into meta-universe.
