"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.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
