435 Immortality (Part 2)

"It's so sci-fi, brother." Chu Zhixi smiled, "I guess with the speed of progress of existing technology, there should be no breakthrough in 20 years."

"Musk's company is already working on human-computer interfaces, which is known. Normally, there are still many hidden below the water." Wu Mian said calmly, "For immortality, they are willing to pay any price."

"Is this a sold soul to the devil?"

"Not counted." Wu Mian said, "But I think this technology will have at least 30 years to mature, and it is not yet mature. Maybe we can catch up, but now I am only interested in brain functional partitioning."

"Aren't there already research results?"

"The results of previous research cannot be used in the surgery, and it is likely that it is just a guess. With GE's machine, I'll try writing a software." Wu Mian said, "When you go home, you go to bed first, I'll think about it and find some information."

"Oh, okay." Although Chu Zhixi is an expert in neurosurgery, he does not know the principles of mechanical matters and does not think about understanding them.

"You have seen the software application image made by Doctor Odd in France once, it is very beautiful." Wu Mian said, "What I made will definitely be more beautiful than his."

"It's fine if you can use it, don't care whether it's beautiful or not." Chu Zhixi said.

"If you want to buy some test-based rats, it is actually the best to use orangutans, but unfortunately there is no laboratory. If the orangutans appear in the hospital, I am worried that there will be problems." Wu Mian said.

"In a Texas laboratory, the time the orangutan ran out scared me," Chu Zhixi said, touching his heart with his hand.

"So at most you can only use a big white rat or a rabbit." Wu Mian said, "I prefer a big white rat, but you will be afraid. I'll think about it and buy some rabbits for trial use. A big white rat costs more than 1,000 yuan, and a rabbit is cheap."

"Hmm? Are domestic rabbits cheap?"

"Yes, the mother of Sichuan people, rabbit heads, is said to eat 300 million rabbits every year. How strong is the breeding ability of rabbits? If I ask me to say that the ecological disasters in Australia are not a problem. That little rabbit is enough for Sichuan people to eat? Just kidding." Wu Mian said casually.

"Rabbit's brain..." Chu Zhixi began to ponder.

"What I want to test is my software. I only do nuclear magnetic field and keep doing it. I can just modify the software data." Wu Mian smiled. "I can see the nerve bundles of rabbits or rats clearly, and do not perform destructive tests, and basically I can't use a few."

“How long will it take to complete?”

"I don't know, let's watch it. After I go back, I will contact the Neuralink team first to see if I can get some useful data." Wu Mian said.

"Their technology is more commercially available."

"Well, it's precisely because it's a commercial application that is not the most advanced, so there is a slight possibility." Wu Mian pondered.

The research conducted by Musk's team of Neuralink is not strictly the most advanced.

For the past 15 years, European and American scientists have been testing brain implants on patients. By implanting chips, patients can move their cursors or robotic arms.

The way to implant chips in the brain is not new enough now, and there are many related tests and tests. Neuralink's brain-computer interface is not representative of the times.

However, there are large consortiums behind other experimental parties, and the research progress has never been announced. Wu Mian is a Chinese, so it is almost impossible to obtain such top-secret data.

These studies themselves involve topics such as eternity and eternal life, and any breakthrough will be secretly disclosed.

And Musk's commercial company may be an alternative.

Back at the rental house, after washing up, Wu Mian first coaxed Chu Zhixi to sleep, and then opened his notebook to contact Neuralink.

But the answer disappointed Wu Mian.

Even commercial companies like Neuralink have strict data on brain-computer interfaces. Moreover, Neuralink did not hesitate because of Wu Mian's position in the medical field. They refused very simply and had no possibility of joint development.

Wu Mian shrugged, all of which were as expected.

Open the academic website and find the article by Dr. Denis Ducreux, professor at the University of Paris, Bicêtre Hospital in France and chair of the Department of Diagnostic Neuroradiology, starting to study it.

When General Medical’s nuclear magnetic machine was first produced, Dr. Denis Ducreux used a 48-channel head coil and a DTI sequence he created himself to capture clear MRI images.

In this video, he used green spheres to represent the gray matter of the brain, and red lines to represent the white matter pathways in the brain. The larger the spheres, the more connections they have to the white matter channels, indicating the stronger the nerve connections.

The image is beautiful and makes people sigh at the magic of biological structure. But Wu Mian didn't take a look at it anymore, because he had read it half a year ago when this article was first published.

Looking for the latest information, Wu Mian found that there were no more scientific reports, so she sat up straight and stretched.

Standing up gently and seeing that Chu Zhixi was already asleep, Wu Mian tiptoed out the smoke and walked to the balcony.

Lighting the cigarette and looking at Bajingzi under the night sky, Wu Mian fell into deep thought.

He reversely deconstructed the DTI sequence established by Dr. Denis Ducreux, which is not difficult for Wu Mian. What is difficult is how to realize his own ideas.

No matter what, Wu Mian's purpose is always to treat the disease. The little guy was still "slept" in the Jianhui Hospital and always tried every means to wake him up.

However, a "vegetative man" with unknown origin has no previous information, so it is not easy to do this.

Although Wu Mian felt it was difficult, he did not feel afraid of it.

This is how scientific research is. There is a fog ahead, without a trace of light. I don’t know whether it is right or wrong every step I take. Some scientific researchers have been studying for their whole lives, but finally find that they have taken the wrong path.

Just like the ancient idiom "distance in the opposite direction", the direction is reversed, and it is basically impossible to go around again and again.

Wu Mian knew that the situation he was facing was better.

At least there were decades of accumulation before, and countless scientific researchers were exploring the direction. Moreover, Wu Mian highly suspected that the SIGNA Architect 3.0T device produced by General Medical and the subsequent DTI sequence established by Dr. Denis Ducreux, which reduced the distribution of brain nerve fiber bundles by calculating the different speeds of water molecules diffuse in different directions, is a successor study of cloning sheep research.

In other words, in order to study "thinking", foreign scientific researchers have prepared weapons and found a new set of methods.

It is always easier to do things on the shoulders of giants.

After smoking, Wu Mian did not go back immediately, and did not waste a minute and a second to work. Instead, he quietly looked at Yaiko's Ye and fell into deep thought.
