Chapter 285 Consciousness and Brain Computer, Site Selection Determined
After being noisy for a while, he returned to the seat next to him and sat down, and the two of them started chatting.
"What's a Nobel Prize dinner like? I've never been to one."
Li Ruyu's face was quite curious.
Li Mu spread his hands: "I don't know, I haven't been there either."
"But what we know now is that the King of Sweden and his family will also attend."
"The King of Sweden... I don't know what he looks like."
Li Mu smiled: "What else could it look like? It's just two eyes, a nose and a mouth."
"But he is a king."
Li Mu patted her head: "Comrade, we are already in the 21st century. There has never been a savior, nor a fairy emperor."
"Oh, you kid has rebelled and dared to touch your sister's head, right?"
Li Ruyu slapped Li Mu's hand away, "It seems that I didn't leave a deep impression on you when I was a child."
But just when she was eager to try and regain some of the feelings she had when she was a child, she suddenly remembered that they were already so old, and she couldn't help but feel a pity secretly in her heart.
Sure enough, you should hit your brother as early as possible.
Li Mu shook his head with a smile, stood up from his seat, and walked back to the human nerve model.
This human neural model is very complex and looks very sophisticated. It will probably cost a lot of money.
A tactile nerve from the cerebral cortex to the sole of the foot is completely constructed.
If, for a Gundam enthusiast, the best hand model is a human-height Aegis Gundam, then for neurological researchers, the neural model in front of them is their favorite hand model. Made a model.
Li Mu asked: "How are the recent studies? Are you starting to specialize in neurology now? This is the most difficult direction in biology."
Li Ruyu walked up, nodded, and said, "Yes."
She smiled: "After all, you are studying the most difficult fields in mathematics and physics. As a sister, I can't fall behind."
Li Mu smiled: "That's good."
But then, Li Ruyu frowned again: "But recently, I have still encountered particularly difficult problems."
"What's the problem?" Li Mu asked curiously.
"Analyze the precise conduction mechanism of nerve current." Li Ruyu said: "We all know that our brain transmits nerve current signals to various parts of our body, thereby controlling the corresponding muscles and joints, and in the process, our central nervous system , conducted through the spinal cord.”
"At this time, there is a question, how are these nerve current signals accurately conducted?"
"For example, when we want to control the left hand, how do we avoid affecting the right hand?"
"Of course, this situation sometimes happens. For example, we control the left hand to draw a circle and the right hand to draw a square. For some people, it is impossible to coordinate well, but for others, it can be done easily... "
Li Ruyu rubbed his head: "In short, if I can figure out the mechanism, it will be of great help to the ultimate goal of my research."
"Is that so?"
Li Mu said next to him, while his hands also made corresponding movements.
Draw a circle with your left hand and a square with your right hand.
Li Ruyu nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Then she followed suit and started doing the same movements. Her movements were a little rough at first, but after doing it for a while, she gradually became more proficient.
Li Mu smiled and said: "This shows that for the brain, no matter what actions it takes, it can be trained. In other words, the accuracy of neurotransmission can also be trained, just like those magic tricks that compete with hand speed. "
"Another example is walking and falling on the flat ground. Basically, it happens in the childhood stage. As the age increases, this happens less often. This is because of the strength of the control of the nerves. It’s increasing.”
"Well, I know all this." Li Ruyu rolled his eyes: "At least I have been studying it for so long."
"But the problem lies here, how to implement such a mechanism."
"Oh, I have some experimental data here, maybe you can take a look."
With that said, Li Ruyu walked to a table next to him, took some information from it, and handed it to Li Mu.
Li Mu took a look and found that the experimental data above showed the changes in human nerve potential under certain movements.
He began to think.
Suddenly, he thought of his own brain computer.
According to the introduction of the system, the brain computer can control his nerve currents, so logically, he should also be able to observe this process through the brain computer's control of his own nerve currents.
Thinking of this, he started doing it. By coincidence, he also happened to understand how the computer in his mind controlled the nerve currents in his body.
Closing his eyes slightly, he let his consciousness immerse himself in the brain computer, and then used the brain computer to control the nerve currents in his body through his feelings.
As soon as he tried this, he was stunned.
Because he suddenly discovered that he could actually control his body by controlling the computer in his mind.
In other words, in the past, he directly used the human body's instinct to control his body, but now this control method allows him to insert a mind-computer intermediary process between his autonomous consciousness and his body.
However, what surprised him even more was that although he now had the intermediary of the brain computer, his control speed of the body not only did not slow down, but on the contrary, it was even faster. The degree of control over the body seemed to have also become More accurate.
From a management perspective, his behavior is probably equivalent to delegating power.
Before, he controlled his body and mind computer at the same time, but now, his functions have been streamlined. He controls the mind computer, and the mind computer controls the body.
Of course, the various feelings coming from the body are not directly conveyed to him through the intermediary of the brain computer. After all, his brain is always there, and the nerve signals are also directly conveyed to his brain.
But maybe...
Li Mu discovered that he could actually block the nerve signals sent to his brain through the brain computer... No, it should be to block the brain directly, and then feed back to his consciousness through the brain computer.
In other words, let the mind computer be completely inserted as an intermediary between his consciousness and his brain.
Li Mu's heart beat faster at this time, but in the end he did not try this.
Let consciousness escape the boundaries of the brain...
So is he still a human being of flesh and blood?
Just like he had thought before, he was a living person because he still had flesh and blood, and hormones were secreted in his body, which affected his consciousness.
But if his consciousness is separated from his brain, and then the brain computer filters the hormone information...
Li Mu didn't know how to imagine that situation. He even doubted that if he did this and entered that kind of pure self-awareness, would he choose to return to the original situation where his consciousness and brain were not separated? .
He didn't know, so he didn't do it.
Now this situation is very good. The relationship between consciousness, body, and brain computer is a triangular relationship. The consciousness controls the body through the brain computer, allowing him to make more perfect use of his body, and of course Thinking about the problem.
For example, the conduction of human nerve current...
"What are you thinking about?"
The sound comes from the ear, and the mechanical energy of the vibration is converted into electrical signals in the cochlear hair cells, and is finally transmitted to his auditory nerve. His brain directly hears the sound, and it is known to his consciousness.
He opened his eyes.
He was still the same person, but for that brief moment, something was different inside him.
Looking at Li Ruyu, Li Mu smiled and said, "Nothing."
Then he looked around and asked, "Do you have any scratch paper? I've probably thought of a way to help you with your research."
Li Ruyu was stunned for a moment, "What? You just thought of it."
Li Mu smiled and nodded: "Your body and feelings may lie to you, but mathematics will not lie to you."
After getting the draft paper, Li Mu started writing on it.
"Although I don't know how much it can help you, based on the experimental data you gave me, I think it would be helpful to use such a modeling to analyze the nerve transmission process."
Immediately, under his pen, a seemingly complicated mathematical model appeared on the draft paper.
He completed the modeling in a few moments and handed it to Li Ruyu.
"Here, let's take a look."
Li Ruyu was a little suspicious, but still took the draft paper out of curiosity and started reading it from the beginning.
Although she still wasn't particularly good at math, she worked hard and understood it quickly.
Gradually, her expression became serious, "What are you..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and raised an index finger: "First principles."
"Although the term is used in computational physics and computational chemistry, it may be helpful to abstract the concept and apply it to neurology."
Li Ruyu nodded thoughtfully, and then she looked in again. Although she was very surprised at this time, Li Mu was able to build such a system after simply looking at the experimental data she gave. A mathematical model.
First principles...
Li Mu, who was standing next to him, saw Li Ruyu's serious thinking expression and couldn't help crying or laughing: "You don't plan to continue studying like this, do you? I'm going to Shanghai in two days, and I'm thinking of inviting you to have a meal."
"Eat... let's eat on December 10th."
However, Li Ruyu obviously had this intention and waved to Li Mu: "I'm going to continue my research, so don't disturb me."
Li Mu helplessly shrugged, "Okay, I would have told you about the modeling tomorrow."
Of course, from his perspective, Li Ruyu's situation can only be said to be understandable.
After all, everyone is dedicated to scientific research.
So, "Then I wish you success in your research."
Li Ruyu gave him an "OK" gesture, "Thank you, stinky brother."
Li Mu shook his head, then turned around and left the neurological laboratory.
Of course, it is inevitable to say goodbye to Chen Shanping.
Going to Chen Shanping's office, he said: "Academician Chen, thank you then. I'll leave first."
Chen Shanping smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Mu nodded, but at this moment, he suddenly asked: "By the way, Professor Chen, when the time comes for the Nobel banquet, would you consider coming together? You also know that I can bring 14 people."
Chen Shanping was stunned, "This... this..."
He didn't expect that Li Mu would invite him.
"Isn't this..."
Li Mu smiled: "You are my sister's teacher, then we are our own people, so you don't have to be polite."
Hearing what Li Mu said, what else could Chen Shanping say?
Then, he nodded heavily: "Thank you then. If I have such an opportunity, I will definitely go."
"That's good." Li Mu smiled: "I just don't know if there are any restrictions on Academician Chen going abroad."
Chen Shanping smiled and waved his hand: "As a biology researcher, I don't care about this kind of thing."
"That's good." Li Mu nodded: "I won't say much more, I will let you know when the day is ready to go."
Then without further words, Li Mu left here.
Chen Shanping also personally gave him a piece of it.
After returning to the office, Chen Shanping couldn't help but smile.
His students in the office couldn't help but be envious at this time.
After all, it was the Nobel Prize dinner!
"Academician Chen, you must bring us some gifts back then!"
"I heard that the chocolate gold coins at the Nobel dinner are very commemorative."
Chen Shanping smiled all over his face: "Okay, okay! If I can bring it to you then, I will definitely bring it to you."
…
For Li Mu, inviting Chen Shanping was not only because he was Li Ruyu's mentor, but also to prepare for his future research institute.
This invitation letter to the Nobel Dinner can also be regarded as an opportunity for him to recruit people in the future. After all, after the institute is built, there must be someone.
At least, there must be an academician in charge of each professional direction.
Of course, this matter will have to wait until then.
Time passed quickly, and after staying in Shangjing for a few days, Li Mu finally went to Shanghai to confirm the location.
The area occupied by the future research institute is destined to be very large, and sufficient room for expansion needs to be left.
Of course, the most important thing is to be quiet and not disturbed too much.
Therefore, suburbs have become the first choice.
Until the end, the beautiful Sheshan Mountain entered Li Mu's options.
Regarding Li Mu's choice, the leadership team of Shanghai Stock Exchange had a headache.
Sheshan has beautiful scenery, and of course, there are many rich people. There are many houses of rich people here, not to mention villas, there are even manors.
If Li Mu chooses this place, although it will not occupy the territory of these rich people, will these rich people agree?
However, this problem is not Li Mu's problem.
If that doesn't work, he can also choose to stay in his hometown Qin'an City, which has a lot of resources.
In the end, the Shanghai stock market leadership team chose to compromise.
Anyway, what the Shanghai stock market is most in need of is rich people, and what these rich people are most in need of is houses. If they don't agree, then ask them to change their houses.
In this way, it was basically confirmed, and the name of this institute was also officially determined.
It’s very simple, it’s called the National Sheshan Institute of Science.
But people now have no way of imagining what kind of mark this simple name will leave on the history of China in the future.
