Initially installed the titanium alloy value through the nerve interface technology to Comrade Li Gaoliang, lets time that he stood, the information technology specialists of higher research institute had sighed with emotion this topic with him. 当初通过神经接入技术给李高亮同志装上钛合金价值,让他重新站起来的时候,高等研究院的信息技术专家就曾经和他感慨过这个话题。 Not only makes the paraplegia patient who the spinal nerve is damaged stand. 不只是让脊神经受损的截瘫患者重新站起来。 If can the complex visual signal and sound signal, like operation signal after translation simulates, lets the equipment and neural prosthese or the brain direct connection, said that does not permit letting consciousness in that fantasy to submerge the nerve access virtual reality technology of digital world, no longer will be a fantasy. 如果能够将复杂的视觉信号和听觉信号,也像动作信号那样经过编译之后进行模拟,让设备与神经假体或者大脑直接连接,说不准那种幻想中的让意识潜入数字世界的神经接入式虚拟现实技术,也将不再是个幻想。 At that time Lu Zhou indicated, this truly is an interesting topic, can study, but also one pile of more important things waited for him to be done at that time, this matter was also thrown by him after the brain. 当时陆舟就表示,这确实是个有意思的课题,可以研究一下,不过当时还有一堆更重要的事情等着他去做,这件事情也就被他扔在了脑后。 Now, presents the poverty breakthrough on the carbon base chip technology, General points many does not have the place to be colored, after that named the person reminded one, this matter by Lu Zhou is thought. 现在,恰逢碳基芯片技术出现革新性的突破,身上的积分又多的没地方花,被那个叫叶南的人提醒了一句之后,这事儿又被陆舟重新想了起来。 Thinks that also lies down Vera in dormancy cabin, Lu Zhou felt, if also having no way makes her wake temporarily, at least must try to make anything for her. 想到还躺在休眠舱里的薇拉,陆舟觉得如果自己暂时还没法让她醒过来的话,至少得试着为她做些什么。 Although he is also clear, this gadget can effective the hope on her, quite uncertain...... 虽然他也清楚,这玩意儿能在她身上管用的希望,相当的渺茫…… After changing clothes, sits Lu Zhou in front of computer, the thing that oneself will write down combed. 换了身衣服之后,坐在电脑前的陆舟,将自己写下来的东西梳理了一遍。 Simple, the core part of this/should technology, mainly can be divided into three modules. 简单的来说,该技术的核心部件,主要可以分为三个模块。 One is the collection of neural signal, one is processing of neural signal, finally is to the simulation of neural signal, is finally the information feedback to the stage of brain. 一个是神经信号的采集,一个是神经信号的处理,最后便是对神经信号的模拟,也就是最后将信息反馈给大脑的阶段。 These three core parts, the technical difficulty increases progressively according to the order in turn. 这三个核心部件,技术难度是按顺序依次递增的。 The collection of neural signal is simple, has had eeg sensor type of thing in the 80's, is the so-called electroencephalographic sensor. But development today, this technology advanced, even has surpassed could not contact this technology the imagination of average person generally. 神经信号的采集非常简单,早在80年代就已经存在eeg传感器这种东西了,也就是所谓的脑电图传感器。而发展到了今天,这项技术有多先进,甚至已经超过了一般接触不到这项技术的普通人的想象。 Eyemynd of Silicon Valley is founded by user through the VR system of thought then guidance virtual world, when 18 years the University of Florida 16 students complete the stir that the world's first brain wave unmanned aerial vehicle competition triggered, is one manifestation of this technology. 无论是硅谷的eyemynd创建的由用户通过意念即可导航虚拟世界的vr系统,还是18年时美国佛罗里达大学16名学生完成了世界首场脑电波无人机竞赛引发的轰动,都是这种技术的一种体现。 As for second is also processing to the neural signal, the difficulty compared to the collection of neural signal, then is more complex. 至于第二项也就是对神经信号的处理,难度相对于神经信号的采集,则要复杂一些。 Although superficially this gadget test is the handling capacity of computer to the information, but in fact it is actually a quite complex procedural issue. 虽然表面上看这玩意儿考验的不过是计算机对信息的处理能力,但事实上它却是一个相当复杂的程序性问题。 This type complex lies in the understanding of human own brain knows little, only if the limited situation, the visual signal, the sound signal and sense of smell signal are exciting to the brain, cannot compare the operation signal is so intense by far. 这种复杂在于人类对自身大脑的了解所知甚少,除非是有限的情况,视觉信号,听觉信号以及嗅觉信号对大脑刺激,远远比不上动作信号那么强烈。 To differentiate these signals, and translates to apply mechanically the set of instructions of construction virtual reality world, and operating system...... this wait a series of work, can classify in second. 想要将这些信号进行区分,并且编译出一套用来架构虚拟现实世界的指令集,以及操作系统……这等等一系列的工作,都可以归类于第二项。 As for third, will transmit after the electrical signal of neural signal modem processing to the brain, is to the experience feeling of user affects intuitively presents the link, is in the entire nerve access virtual reality technology the most complex and difficult part. 至于第三项,将经过神经信号调制解调器处理的电信号传递给大脑,也就是对用户的体验感影响最为直观的呈现环节,则是整个神经接入式虚拟现实技术中最最复杂且困难的部分。 The reason is very simple. 原因很简单。 Like people the difficulty that developing the second core part of this/should technology encounters, if even understood that brain machine cannot achieve, how also to brain machine to output signal that can be understood by it? 就像人们在发展该技术的第二个核心部件上碰到的困难一样,如果连了解大脑这台机器都做不到的话,又如何向大脑这台机器输出可以被它读懂的信号? At present compared with the approach of front is, implants a neural prosthese in the position of cerebral cortex. 目前比较前沿的做法是,在大脑皮层的位置植入一个神经假体。 However currently speaking, this technology was mainly used for the functional barrier that restores the neurotrosis to create, the range simulation vision, sense of hearing and sense of smell wait a series of signals also has a big distance to walk. 不过就目前来看,这一技术主要还是被用来修复神经损伤造成的功能性障碍,距离模拟视觉、听觉、嗅觉等等一系列信号还有段不小的距离要走。 At present in this domain, what walks front the comparison is the Barcelona Catalonian nano-science and nanotechnology research institute, through based on the graphene material, the researchers of this/should research institute is designing a model of electrode and brain organize the contact surface interactive nerve connection, as for the present specific research which step, only then they know. 目前在这个领域,走在比较前面的是西班牙巴塞罗那加泰罗尼亚纳米科学与纳米技术研究所,通过基于石墨烯材料,该研究所的研究人员正在设计一款电极与大脑组织界面交互的“神经接口”,至于现在具体研究到了哪一步,也只有他们自己才知道。 In fact, regarding the third core part, the technological strength that Lu Zhou grasps is not many. 事实上,对于第三个核心部件,陆舟掌握的技术储备也不是很多。 He through answer that” General points exchanges, mainly centralized in the second part is also on the neural signal debugging demodulator. 他通过积分兑换到的“答案”,主要还是集中在第二部分也就是神经信号的调试解调器上。 As for letting the brain understands signal from modem, he also can only achieve of visual simulation merely. 至于让大脑读懂来自调制解调器的信号这一块,他也仅仅只能做到视觉模拟的那一步而已。 As for the sense of hearing and sense of smell even is the senses of touch and exciting wait a series of feelings, can only with the aid of exterior stimulate to realize. 至于听觉和嗅觉甚至是触觉与兴奋等等一系列的感觉,都只能借助外部刺激去实现。 For example, built-in earphone in helmet and so on. 比如,在头盔中内置一个耳机之类的。 Thinks of here, Lu Zhou is somewhat regrettable. 想到这里,陆舟还是有些遗憾。 If can achieve to all -around simulations of all consciousness, then can realize the final shape of virtual reality technology probably. 如果能做到对一切知觉的全方位模拟,大概便能实现虚拟现实技术的最终形态了。 Namely, consciousness entire to connect in the virtual Internet world, obtains the second life in the virtual reality. 即,将意识整个连接到虚拟的互联网世界中,在虚拟现实中获得第二人生。 When the time comes wants with the experience parachuting and rock climbing these realities to want to do matter that but had not gone to handle, is with the slip of paper person for a lifetime, has been able to achieve. 到时候无论是想和体验跳伞、攀岩那些现实中想做但一直没有去做的事情,还是和纸片人过一辈子,都是可以做到的。 As for other uses, can go to think slowly. 至于其他的用途,可以慢慢去想。 Pitifully, his division/discipline rank also being insufficient makes the system reply that he lattern half issue, with the words of General points exchange, will at least receive the scientific research efficiency penalties of two ranks forcefully. 只是可惜,他的学科等级还不足以让系统回答他后半部分的问题,用积分强行兑换的话,至少会受到两个等级的科研效率惩罚。 Only the one who makes him rejoice, at least the system marked the General points expenditure amount, that explained that this issue had the solution in his lifetime. 唯一让他庆幸的是,至少系统将积分的花费数额标了出来,那说明这个问题在他有生之年还是有解的。 Is quite difficult. 只是,比较困难罢了。 Thinks of here, sat Lu Zhou in front of computer pondered over a while. 想到这里,坐在电脑前的陆舟思忖了一会儿。 In line with the top was inferior happily numerous Le Le scholar spirit, finally he from reorganizing in material, chose one not that in advance, and does not involve the theory part of patent, formed a paper. 本着独乐乐不如众乐乐的学者精神,最终他还是从整理出来的资料中,挑选了一段不那么超前、且不涉及到专利的理论部分,编成了一篇论文。 His hopeless this paper can light the leather of virtual reality technology all of a sudden. The fire of life, but hopes that this paper can play the role that offered a few ordinary introductory remarks so that others may offer their valuable ideas, inspires scholar who other were engaged in this/should domain, made a more valuable achievement in this domain. 他没指望这篇论文能够一下子点燃虚拟现实技术的革.命之火,只是希望这篇论文能够起到抛砖引玉的作用,启发其他从事该领域的学者,在这个领域做出更有价值的成果。 As for the author of paper...... 至于论文的作者…… Considering the core is mainly the computer and biological these two domains, therefore Lu Zhou wore the waistcoat of Dr. z again. 考虑到核心内容主要是计算机和生物学这两个领域,于是陆舟再次穿上了z博士的马甲。 Thinks that previous time made a Black Dragon/mishap, almost by the person on one's own side recognizing, this time him studied clever, has not gone to bump arxiv, but opened on biologist special-purpose pre- printed book website biorxiv. 想到上次闹了个乌龙,差点被自己人给认了出来,这次他学乖了,没有去碰arxiv,而是打开了生物学家专用的预印本网站biorxiv上。 Pondered over a while to upload the manuscript the flow, however when Lu Zhou just prepared the paper hung, suddenly the whole body quickly grasps the meaning of something to respond. 琢磨了一会儿上传稿件的流程,然而就在陆舟刚准备将论文挂上去的时候,突然浑身一个激灵反应了过来。 wait, this, if threw on biorxiv, how could it not be equal to confessing without being pressed? 等等,这要是扔在了biorxiv上,岂不等于不打自招了? In the heart a secretly thought narrow squeak, the Lu Zhou full heavy line switched off the biorxiv website, braced oneself to hang on arxiv the paper. 心中暗道一声好险,陆舟满头黑线地关掉了biorxiv的网站,硬着头皮将论文重新挂到了arxiv上。 Although pays attention to the arxiv biologist not to have on biorxiv so many, but thinks from another angle, these years more and more mathematical, computer and researchers of Physics direction join to the research of biology, bumps into on arxiv is engaged in the machine neural network as well as biological neural network research the probability of scholar simultaneously, should compared with biorxiv on high many. 虽然关注arxiv的生物学家没有biorxiv上面那么多,但从另一个角度来想,这些年来越来越多数学、计算机、物理学方向的研究人员加入到生物学的研究中,在arxiv上碰到同时从事机器神经网络以及生物神经网络研究的学者的概率,应该会比biorxiv上高不少。 Naturally, the biological neural network and mechanical neural network, respectively are in the biology and computer science one of several plates is difficult to handle, can achieve the scholars who are skilled in two domains simultaneously, said that is extremely rare is not exaggerating. 当然了,生物神经网络和机械神经网络,分别都是生物学和计算机科学中最难搞定的几个板块之一,能将两个领域同时做到精通的学者,说是凤毛麟角一点也不夸张。 In fact, although Lu Zhou anticipated that can bump into is splendid enough, the researchers who and he has a common goal, improvement this technology...... best to be able together for him that the troublesome matter solves. 事实上,陆舟虽然期待能碰到足够出色、且和他志同道合的研究人员,一起完善这个技术……最好是能替他把麻烦的事情都解决掉的那种。 But, actually he has not held the too big prospect. 但,其实他对此并没有抱太大的指望。 He the biggest goal that this paper emits, to make preheating to this technology, when he takes thoroughly the entire technology, is insufficient seems extremely towering. 他将这篇论文放出的最大目的,还是为了给这个技术做个预热,等到他将整个技术彻底拿出来的时候,不至于显得太过突兀。 After all if this gadget takes directly, the unevenness is a little big, perhaps the average person cannot look, truly the person but who studies this domain, can certainly feel a big being out of sorts feeling. 毕竟这玩意儿要是直接拿出来,跳跃性还是有点大的,一般人也许看不出来,但真正研究这个领域的人,一定能从中感受到不小的违和感。 This being out of sorts feeling looks like the theory of relativity mass energy equation is not inferred probably, the atomic bomb has made to be the same. 这种违和感大概就像是相对论质能方程还没被推导出来,原子弹都已经造出来了一样。 How although and does not care about others to think, but since has the condition to avoid this matter happening, is worth his spend some time doing slightly. 虽然并不在意别人怎么想,但既然有条件避免这件事情发生,还是值得他稍微花点时间去做的。 After uploading the paper, Lu Zhou by stretches oneself on the chair, spunked up to sit from the chair. 上传了论文之后,陆舟靠在椅子上伸了个懒腰,重新打起精神从椅子上坐了起来。 „Did Xiao Ai, prepare?” 小艾,准备好了吗?” Unmanned aerial vehicle wu wu fluttered, on the small television sprang one string of writing. 无人机呜呜地飘了过来,小电视上弹出了一串文字。 Prepared! The master master, where do we from start?】 【准备好了!主人主人,我们从哪开始?】 Looks that near the wall started not to wave law-abidingly up and down the mechanical arm, Lu Zhou had pondered a while, said. 看着墙边上已经开始不安分地上下舞动着的机械臂,陆舟沉思了一会儿,开口说道。 First makes a deck chair to come out.” “先弄个躺椅出来吧。” 【......? Deck chair?】 【……诶?躺椅?】 Un, lying down is playing...... uses should is quite comfortable, in the experience cannot be careless. I go online to search for the picture of human engineering chair, you idle in any case are also idling, material here also has, I must look for a matter to do to you. Again is the helmet...... this part well under the design, the neural signal modem and eeg sensor must integrate above, making me think......, handled......” “嗯,躺着玩……用应该会比较舒服,体验上可不能马虎了。我去网上搜个人体工程学椅的图片,反正你闲着也是闲着,材料这里也都有,我得给你找点事做。再然后是头盔……这部分得好好设计下,神经信号调制解调器和eeg传感器都得集成在上面,让我想想……嗯,就这么办好了……” Sits before the computer table is pondering over, while is operating Lu Zhou of specialized 3 D designer software, had entered the condition of work gradually. 坐在电脑桌前一边思忖着,一边操作着专业三维设计软件的陆舟,已经渐渐进入了工作的状态。 He does not know at this moment, he uses the name of Dr. z to hang that paper on arxiv, the name or paper's of content author, in entire biologists thorough fire. 此时此刻他并不知道,他用z博士的名字挂在arxiv上的那篇论文,无论是作者的名字还是论文本身的内容,都在整个生物学界彻底的火了。
