Lighting up super-god technology in the Three-Body World

Chapter 71 The First Human Brain Scan

Xiling Company,

Brain-Computer Research Institute,

Comino Eddy is Hines' assistant.

He sat in the chair, his spine pressed against the backrest, his expression slightly tense.

Because he had something on his head that looked like a hat, with many coils wrapped around it and some strange luminous crystals embedded in it. The wires extended from the pointed tentacles all the way to the holographic projector.
"Mr. Hines, are you sure this thing won't electrocute me into a fool?"

Hines was still adjusting the equipment and said comfortingly,
"Eddie, don't be nervous. You know its input power is less than five volts. It's impossible to electrocute someone."

Eddie felt like crying, he shouldn't have accepted the job on impulse.
"But it acts directly on the brain, and I'm afraid my fragile cerebral cortex and brain medulla can't withstand even the slightest stimulation."

The full name of the device he mentioned is called Isotopic Linear Crystal Infrared Spectroscopy Magnetic Resonance Brain Neural Activity Imaging Display.
Westerners give names that are long.

The Dongda staff who assist Hines usually call it a brain-viewing camera.

As the name suggests, it is a camera used to take pictures of brain activity.

Another person next to him joked,

"Don't be afraid, Eddie. Do you know Iron Man? He installed a reactor because of heart failure to provide energy support for his later iron suit."

Eddie listened carefully, but the more he listened, the more confused he became.
"Oh! Dear Sun, I know everything you said, but what does it have to do with the experiment I am about to conduct?"

The young man called Sun, whose full name is Sun Xiaole, is from Dongda University. He is a rising star in neurology and an assistant engineer recruited by Xiling in the name of the company. He is now highly appreciated by Hines.

While assisting Hines in debugging the equipment, he replied,
"Think about it, if Tony's heart hadn't failed, would he have invented the small reactor? So, people must have some shortcomings to become strong. I believe that if your brain was injured, you would become as strong as Tony."

Eddie's Chinese knowledge was obviously not enough for him to understand this text, so he responded,
"You're right, but it always feels weird to me."

Sun Xiaole finished his work, looked up at Eddie and said,

"Don't blame me, no matter what the result is, you won't lose anything."

"Really? Can I trust you, Sun?"

Hines came over and patted Eddie on the shoulder.

"Don't mess around. I promise you in God, there won't be any problems. But I don't want to go through all the trouble again."

Eddie immediately stopped his subconscious movement of turning his head when he heard this.

"Don't worry, I will keep my posture."

Hines nodded.
"Well, we are now conducting our first human brain scanning experiment."

Neurons can transmit complex instructions and information between different areas of the brain through action potentials.
The specific mechanism is not yet understood, but it is this process that generates neural signals.

Hines found that
The magnetic resonance frequency of the ruthenium isotope 29 crystal under a certain current is very close to the rhythm of the human brain neural network. In theory, the resonance between this isotope crystal and the brain nerves can be used to map the neuronal activity of the cerebral cortex.
Combined with electroencephalography and near-infrared spectroscopy, brain activity can be observed non-invasively.

Therefore, the crystal on this isotopic linear crystal infrared spectrum magnetic resonance brain neural activity imaging display is the 29th isotope crystal of ruthenium.
Others with different shapes are Oppenheimer lenses made of phosphorus-graphene, which are specifically used to amplify optical and magnetic signals.

All changing signals are transmitted through wires to a holographic projector, allowing people to observe different neural signals from the side.

Finally, by deciphering the meaning of these signals and inferring neural activity, we can obtain the key to the meaning of human thinking activities.
Although these alone cannot explain the reasons for the birth of thinking, knowing it is enough to conquer brain-computer technology.

The instrument started after Hines pressed the switch.

A faint dark purple light formed a mist above Eddie's head, appearing particularly enchanting in the dark environment, as if warning humans not to peek into God's realm.

The holographic projector was in chaos, with countless dark shadows colliding like disordered particles.
Hines whispered,
"Eddie, stop overthinking. The machine is going to break down."

Eddie immediately focused his attention and calmed down. The holographic projector suddenly went blank.
Hines added,
"Eddie, imagine the water!"

Eddie began to conceive the concept of water in his mind, and the holographic projector began to show shadows one after another, and then quickly became chaotic, until it was just like the beginning.
Hines asked,
"Eddie, what are you thinking about? Why is your mind so confused?"

Eddie replied,

"Oh, you asked me to imagine water. First I thought of water droplets, then water beads, water columns, pools, and finally even rivers, lakes, water vapor, and water molecules."

Hines looked at the holographic projector.
He discovered that when Eddie was talking to him, the shadow would swing regularly, but once the conversation ended, the shadow would move randomly.
It seems that when human thinking has no goals or the concept of goals is too general, it will become chaotic.
And entering a focused mode like a conversation will become clear,
Therefore, in order to obtain a neural signal model, it is not only necessary to export the signal, but also to import the signal, and finally use huge computing power to calculate the interaction between the two.

Hines tried it several more times and confirmed that without an imaginary medium or corresponding signal input, the brain would become confused, and it would be impossible to have a corresponding key in this state.

This experiment helped Hines clarify the next direction.

After the device was removed, Eddie was in a trance. Sun Xiaole supported him and asked,
"Eddie, how are you feeling?"

Eddie shook his head and said,
"I feel dizzy. I can't even hear your voices clearly. I feel like there's gusts of wind blowing in my head. I feel nauseous and want to vomit."

Hines was packing up his equipment and explained without looking up.

"This is normal, just like debugging a channel. It's also full of noise at first, but it will disappear after a successful match, and you won't feel uncomfortable next time."

Eddie shuddered.

"Ah? It'll be me next time? Why not?"

Sun Xiaole interrupted him halfway through the conversation.
"Eddie, you're about to become the first human to communicate directly with a machine! This is your chance to go down in history!"

Eddie's thoughts were interrupted, and he drowsily followed Sun Xiaole's words and asked,
"Can it really go down in history?"

"Why would I lie to you! I swear to you in the name of my ancestors, when brain-computer technology is conquered, you, Comino Eddie, will become a great pioneer remembered by everyone!"
