BCI technology is maturing, Intel/ WiMi develops the future of human-computer fusion technology

Today, brain-computer interfaces are heading for a technological explosion. Recently, in the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum annual meeting conducted an in-depth discussion of the innovative results of the application of brain-computer interface technology.

A team from Tsinghua University School of Medicine and Capital Medical University jointly announced that a patient would able to use pneumatic gloves to deliver a bottle of water on the table to his mouth. The clinical trial allowed the patient to “drink by his hand” for the first time in 15 years of tetraplegia.

As an important branch in the field of artificial intelligence, brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has a wide range of application prospects and huge market potential. The initial technical application of BCI was in the field of medical health, which was first developed and used in the 1970s. Brain function monitoring and control were implemented for patients with neurological dysfunction. Under the synergistic effect of technology maturity and high specialization, medical health is the closest application field of BCI to commercialization.

With the development and expansion of the application field of technology, brain-computer interface technology is expected to be used in games, education, smart home, autonomous driving and even political fields. The development of BCI technology can greatly generalize the brain functions and make all fields more convenient. With the continuous development of science and technology, BCI technology has gradually become the focus of global attention.

Nowadays, in the brain-computer interface industry, some Internet and technology companies have been involved in the brain-computer interface field. For instance, Musk’s brain-computer interface companies Neuralink, and some other companies like Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta(META) and other technology giants also began to layout and develop the underlying technology.

According to Intel, the Hala Point system was originally deployed at Sandia National Laboratory in the United States, consisting of 1,152 Intel Loihi 2 processors, including 1.15 billion artificial neurons and 128 billion artificial synapses distributed across 140,544 processing cores.

Brain-computer interfaces are considered to be typical of new quality productivity, and the “black technology” scene appearing in science fiction movies is gradually becoming a reality. WiMi has vigorously cultivated the future industry leaders, and accelerated the promotion of technological breakthroughs and product innovation in quantum computing, artificial intelligence model, brain-computer interface, 6G and other fields. At present, some fields have reached the advanced level.

Brain-computer interface is opening the door to the future. With the vigorous development of WiMi industry, strengthening the forward-looking planning for the future industry has promoted the formation of a demonstration area for the development of the future industry. Looking forward to the future, WiMi for the development of BCI interfaces will actively promote the application of BCI in various fields, which will further accelerate the combination of human brain and AI, form a long-term mechanism for sustainable development, and become an important source of the future industry, which may subvert the way of public cognition of the world.

In Avatar, released years ago, the main character uses the Avatar body to move on Pandora through a brain-computer interface. Now by 2024, the latest research developments in the field of brain-computer interfaces have been released, and the industry is accelerating the clinical application and industrialization of the technology.

In the future, humans will enter a multi-agent society. In the long run, brain-computer interfaces are expected to become an important entrance to connect the real world and the digital world, and build the core technology base of the metaverse era. Through the connection between the brain and the computer, people can obtain various sensory experiences such as taste and touch in the virtual world. And it depends on the joint efforts of global companies.
