We ask why . Because education makes the world make up your own mind. Made full minds. The have you ever dreamt of pumping up your brain power from improving your memory to speaking more languages . A computer chip in the brain is no longer a distance, so i fi, dream. And it could actually be a game changer for people with disabilities. Just recently, a paraplegic man was able to walk again with help from brain implants and some chips these days even contain human brain cells and your chips and the brain thats out topic on shift the us tech to us in a loan mosque, wants to optimize our brains with his start off your link. The companys already made a name for itself through spectacular experiments on animals. And now near link has received approval to start Clinical Trials on humans. And in switzerland. Scientists have health. A paraplegic man woke again using brain implants and a lot. Take a look. His life has been altered dramatically for the 2nd time. Thanks to an experimental procedure, linking the brain to the spine with a digital bridge. A paralyzed man is able to walk again. Within 5 to 10 minutes, i could control my its the brain i went picked up what i was doing with my head so that was like, yeah, the best outcome. I think for everyone after an accident in 2011 get young os gum was paralyzed in both legs. Doctors operated to implant electro. Its in the 40 year old sprain and spine there is one surgery at the level of the brain. We do to really find the item, you put the electrodes in order to record the brain cigna and another surgery at the level of the spinal cord where we put electrodes on the top of the spinal cord at the place that is responsible for the next movement so between these 2, there is communication and the electrical communication digital bridge that is then reactivated the flex. Its pretty not to say, just half of this technology has come a brian computer interface or basically your allows people to communicate with an external machine simply by using their own thoughts, your link, apple and google, old developing this technology, the currently the strategy and start up st chrome is leading the rice, the already People Living with the companies base the implants in australia and the us sending an e mail using thoughts alone. Philip or key peasant nervous system disease known as a less and cant use his hands or speak clear like a brain computer interface, gives them a way to communicate previously to communicate with a new stop, voices or a hands. And now theres an opportunity where if you, if you dont have control over either, you can still communicate, you can use a fine to send text messages. You can use an email to send, you know, stories or letters to loved ones. This 10 try with this 1st and planted in a human and 2019 stan chart is transported to the brain through blood vessels, which means open brain surgery is not required. Essentially, gene ation that unlike a lot of other technologies as takes advantage of the naturally occurring highway of the body, the blood vessels to, to get into the brain without having to do really risky, invasive surgery. The standard captures brain signals and transmits them through the blood vessels into a unit implanted in a patients chest. This unit then sends the electrical signals to a computer or other device. The system looks at the activity of the electrical activity and it has a database of im kind of a prerecorded movement set. The patient has been trained to and activate and it system has been trained to recognize an essentially if it see something the patient is intending to do, like a specific movement. It will then send a kind of an output to posts which can be used to activate a computer control or else im Something Like a next exoskeleton thing. Cons technology is still in the trial phase, but there werent gifts, how to people with paralysis or other disabilities. Rank computer interfaces could also be used by people without physical disabilities. 8 on must cause predicted the one day we could be controlling as smartphones with devices in our brains. Well, st. Colins would focus is on developing basis. So medical use, this technology could also be applied to many of the areas using our smartphones without even touching them with a brain computer interface. This can some day be a reality for everyone. The a lot of people who dont have any disability interested in using devices like us to connect with this computers or connect with the home environment. And, you know, certainly thats no more where were doing. Were doing it says medical benefits. Theres no reason to think this Technology Points be adapted and adopted by, by other companies who are making it for that purpose. This technology could have many applications because they could control more than just computers. Essentially, everything and anything, anything electronic at all. Im currently were using it too and kind of unable patients to use a communication device, but this could also be put towards Something Like a smart home systems. If you wanted to turn on your, your lights them, or if you needed to control wheelchair or other kind of assistive technologies. While some dream of using brain computer interfaces for human argumentation. Syncron solely focuses on medical applications. And there was much to be explored in the field. So far, the stench road is only recording signals from the brain. But what if the device and signals into the brain . If you put stimulation or electrical current into the brain, you can prevent things like stages or, or trim is and so, and thats obviously a application for us. We can get to almost any region of the brian through the blood vessels. And so its not unrealistic to think that we can record when a seizure might happen, for example, and then provide stimulation to stuff. But detecting and helping treat Neurological Disorders could be just one of many ways spring, computer inter faces might be used in the future. The computer chips i use in a variety of technologies such as Virtual Reality or Artificial Intelligence, needs to be quick and ideally use as Little Energy as possible. Corey collab a start up from open model. Its chips on the fastest and most Energy Efficient computer out there. The human brain, the system is called dish brian and combines silicon chips with human. Your owns a computer chip that needs to be fed with unusual sustenance. The dish brain receives human brain so. So this chip is somewhat a life thats certainly a life in the sense that these are living by logical neurons on the chest. That doesnt mean of close to that conscious of like a human images. But it does mean that we can use and to be able to test the stuff like the effects of drugs might have on them or model how diseases. Unlike other companies that try to recreate Neural Networks cortical allowed to use is real human brain cells. These can be made from a simple blood donation. The neurons are placed on a fingertip size micro electro to rate that can send and receive electrical impulses the to test the dish, brains ability to learn the team use the classic video game punk. A paddle needs to be moved up and down in order to hit a ball. This spring was taught with electrical impulses. Cortical labs wants to develop the next generation of a i chips by creating what they call synthetic biological intelligence. Just like our brain, the dish brain is extremely Energy Efficient and can react very quickly. And thats thanks to absolution. The if you say a hand together and the savannah and you saw a tiger or a line in the, in the bush. You would have only 2 seconds to make a decision to or the side of a run from this animal. And so if you didnt, you would be eliminated from the gene pool. Uh and so as a result of that, we just evolve to be very good at process information and very short periods of time. Hybrid biological chips could be a more sustainable and efficient solution in field such as robotics. But they could also be useful when testing new drugs so if you have something in a, in detroit or an Edition Model and you can actually test it out before you put it into human and have an increased chance of success. I think this is going to be a game changer for the industry ship that learns fast and as Energy Efficient cortical labs hopes, dish brain will mark the beginning of a chip revolution. For a long time, the Tech Industry has tried copying human intelligence to develop Artificial Intelligence. Machines that can think and act like us. Cortical labs has a different approach. This brain uses the advantages of biological intelligence over a lie. There are some 86000000000 neurons in the human brain. Whenever we learn something new, they automatically connect with each other and build neural pathways in a fast, an Energy Efficient way. Cortical lab says theyre hybrid biological chips do the same. Theyre highly adaptable, able to align with minimal power consumption and can do it with relatively few samples, especially compared to Machine Learning are Artificial Intelligence. Well, artificial systems need to be trained with large sets of data. Biological systems dont. This means they are more sample efficient. What sample efficiency is, is how much information does a system either an Artificial Intelligence, as in boy, a biological Intelligence System require in order to learn from and make intelligent tasks funded. And so these biological systems have been showing to actually have significantly higher efficiencies that by requiring less data over millions of years, our brains learn to react to an ever changing environment. So just like us, the just brain is more adaptable than Artificial Intelligence. With on test, so i was taking it from playing home to playing another game and was actually seeing in incredible time how the system in taps and changes its behavior for this new game in just a few minutes is more limited in that regard. Through the time consuming process of Machine Learning, it is programs for specific tasks. The dish brain, however, could easily be used for a variety of applications. Many people are fearful that Artificial Intelligence could become too intelligent and powerful. But if it has the potential to improve allies, thats a positive thing, right . For me, the prospect of helping people with neurological disability is especially with while it could have made life a lot easier for both my dad and my grandma. So whats your take, would you want to put a chip into your brain . To be honest, im excited to say what comes next. Thanks for watching. And see you next on the hour specialties. Spiced with a luxury flavored with a touch of art and culinary excellence. All the ashes 009. Next on dw, 50 down, this is.
