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.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing. Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel. Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20. Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6. Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins. The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain. This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
