Chinese BCI Startup NeuroXess Hails Breakthrough in Mind Control of Smart Devices

NeuroXess has successfully implanted patients with the Chinese brain-computer interface startup's self-developed invasive devices, allowing them to carry out "dialogue" with and control smart devices using their minds.

Thanks to the efficient collection and real-time analysis of high-throughput, high-quality, and large-scale electroencephalogram data across brain regions, patients can conduct motor and language decoding tests two days after getting an invasive BCI and control smart devices in Chinese using their minds within two weeks, said Tao Hu, founder of Shanghai-based NeuroXess.

Compared with achieving "mental dialogue" between patients and smart devices, achieving "mind manipulation" of devices is more difficult and marks a breakthrough in NeuroXess's real-time Chinese language decoding technology, Tao noted.

You should avoid swimming in a lake if you can, because of the risk of brain infection by ameba, which enters the brain through the nose. Currently, there is no specific medications for the treatment of such infection, as a result, the mortality rate can be up to 90%. A Chinese pharmaceutical company developed a novel drug to treat this condition, and it was approved by CDC to be used in some regions of the US on a trial basis.

Biomathematician Hu Yijuan among Chinese scientists leaving US for China​

The renowned biostatistician has left Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia for a full-time post with her prestigious alma mater in Beijing​

Renowned biomathematician Hu Yijuan has returned to China and joined the prestigious Peking University – her alma mater – after nearly two decades in the United States.

Hu took up a full-time post at the Beijing International Centre for Mathematical Research at the university in July, after leaving Emory University School of Public Health, where she was a professor of biostatistics.

A blog that covers academic news in China said on Monday that Hu – who is also part of the university’s biostatistics department – made the move last year, a report that appears to be supported elsewhere online.

China will test 10Gb passive fiber-optic network this year. "Passive" means that only the devices of the sender and receiver need electrical power, but the intermediate components don't.

Chinese researchers discovered a new hormone that regulates glucose metabolism, potentially increasing the treatment options for diabetes.

"Chinese researchers have just simulated a human brain using 86 billion neurons and trillions of synapses."

"Although China is currently limited by USA’s ridiculous sanctions on chips, their team created a clever technique to avoid this problem by distributed learning with their own GPUs."
