The Caltech new brain implant makes it possible to transform thoughts into writings.

"The latest advancements in Brain-Machine Interfaces feature functional ultrasound (fUS), a non-invasive technique for reading brain activity. This innovation has shown promising results in controlling devices with minimal delay and without the need for frequent recalibration.

The Caltech researchers worked with the brain-machine interface (BMI) that uses ultrasound for reading the mind. And the new systems can make it possible to turn thoughts into text. 

Researchers at Caltech created a new AI-powered Brain Machine Interface (BMI) that can transform thoughts or EEG into written text. The term BMI is a synonym for the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Which means they are the same things. The Caltech advanced system makes the new types of language models possible. 

The researchers can connect brain implants with the language models. And then humans can control the language model using the EEG. The ability to transform thoughts into text allows us to make a new input method for the text. The system can input this text into the language model, which is another name for AI.

"Broca's area (shown in red). Colored region is pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the inferior frontal gyrus. Broca's area is now typically defined in terms of the pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the inferior frontal gyrus. (N. F. Dronkers, O. Plaisant, M. T. Iba-Zizen, and E. A. Cabanis (2007). "Paul Broca's Historic Cases: High Resolution MR Imaging of the Brains of Leborgne and Lelong". Brain 130 (Pt 5): 1432–1441. doi:10.1093/brain/awm042. PMID 17405763.)" (Wikipedia, Broca's area)


"Broca's and Wernicke's area" (Wikipedia, Wernicke's area) 



Wernicke's area is located in the temporal lobe, shown here in grey. (Wikipedia, Wernicke's Area)


The brain implant that turns EEG into text is quite "easy" to make. The system must just follow the EEG in the Broca's area near the temple. The Broca's area is the area in the human brain that controls speech. 

The system must just transform the EEG to the text. When researchers teach that kind of system. They must connect EEG from the Broca's area to the right words. Then that system must write those words to the computer. The user can simply write words to the computer and then read them to the microphone. 

The system can see the EEG in Broca's area. Or the user can simply read words from the screen. Then the system sees how Broca's area changes the EEG. And then it connects that word with the certain EEG sequence. When the AI learns those things, it can transform to use imagined texts. And the user must not talk anymore. 

Two-way communication can created using tools. That connected to Wernicke's area which makes a person able to understand the impulses from the computer. 

This kind of system can control things like Human Universal Load Carrier (HULC) type robots that can help paralyzed people operate normally in everyday life. But those systems can also used to control cars and even aircraft. The next-generation jet fighters might have BCI/BMI user interfaces. Researchers are working with BCI/BMI systems that don't require surgical operations.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

The first test flight of X-59 QueSST

The X-59 QueSST (Quiet Supersonic Technology) demonstrator is the next generation of aircraft design. The QueSST technology means. The aircraft creates a gentler sonic boom. Because its wings are radically long and narrow delta wings, and its nose is also radically long, which makes the sonic pressure cone thinner. That technology makes the sonic boom quieter.  The QueSST technology in X-59 is a new and radical design. All of those systems are caricatures. And the final solutions might look far different than the prototypes. The QueSST technology is one of the things. That is planned to be used. It is used in military and civil applications. If that technology is successful. It can be used in manned and unmanned systems. But that requires more work.  The X-59 also uses fundamental technology. Where the pilot must not have windows. To see outside. The camera and other sensors replace traditional windows. And that can be useful in more advanced aircraft that operate at hypersoni...

The theory about paralleled universes

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/the-theory-about-paralleled-universes.html Kimmo Huosionmaa There is the quite unknown theory about paralleled universes. In this theory, there is not a single universe. Universes are like pearls in the pearl necklace, and there could be the connection between those universes. The connection to other universes would make possible the channel what is forming when the black hole would make the gravity tunnel to another universe. And in the paralleled universe theory, there could be millions of universes in the line, and this is also known as "Multiverse-theory". This theory was established when the galaxy-groups were noticed by astronomers. In that time were noticed that there are so-called super-groups of the galaxy, and those super-groups, where we're so much galaxy that galaxy involved stars made some cosmologists think that maybe there is also groups of universes in the emptiness. This kind of structures is so enormo...
