The Future Has Arrived: Brain-Machine Interface Achieves "Mind-Controlled Reality"
How can we break through the limitations of the body and connect our consciousness with everything around us? Currently, the development of brain-machine interface technology brings immense hope and opportunities for people with disabilities. By establishing direct communication between the brain and external devices, brain-machine interface technology can help individuals with disabilities achieve independent living and overcome physical limitations.
"Technology changes lives, and I regained my lost hand after 10 years." Zhou Jian, a young man born in the 2000s who lost his hand in an accident 10 years ago, explains that the intelligent bionic hand he wears can move according to his thoughts, enabling him to eat, shake hands, exercise, and more.
Brain-machine interface technology is helping humanity transition from "controlling with hands" to "bringing things to life with thoughts." Zhou Jian's intelligent bionic hand only needs to collect weak neural signals from his arm to precisely control the movement of each finger, allowing his hand to move according to his intentions.
Currently, brain-machine interfaces are at the forefront of interdisciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience. It is not only an emerging industry but also a new track for global competition in future industries. Recently, entrepreneur Elon Musk announced that his brain-machine interface company has successfully implanted brain-machine interface devices into the human body, aiming to help paralyzed patients control computers with their thoughts. Almost simultaneously, a joint team from the School of Medicine at Tsinghua University and Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, announced the successful completion of the world's first wireless minimally invasive clinical trial of brain-machine interfaces. This clinical trial allowed a patient who had been paralyzed for 14 years due to a spinal cord injury from a car accident to independently perform daily activities such as drinking water through brain activity-controlled pneumatic gloves, with a gripping accuracy of over 90% after three months of postoperative rehabilitation training.
The relevant person in charge of the Hangzhou Science and Technology Bureau in Zhejiang Province stated that they are intensifying efforts to introduce companies researching brain-machine interfaces, aiming to use more cutting-edge technologies to open up unlimited possibilities for human life.
Through the filming of Zhou Jian's experiences, this film tells the story of how brain-machine interface technology helps people with disabilities return to the workplace and regain their confidence in life. At the same time, it reflects the shining light of humanity behind technological innovation. When technology illuminates life, the happy and beautiful home of people with disabilities becomes within reach. In the city of Hangzhou, known for its innovative vitality, we can also look forward to the birth of "new inventions" and "new creations" that will facilitate the lives of people with disabilities.
