Developers created a new universal BCI system that allows to play computer games.


"Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have created an adaptive brain-computer interface (BCI) with machine learning, designed to assist individuals with motor disabilities without requiring individual calibration. This breakthrough enables easier adoption and demonstrates the technology’s application through engaging tasks and potential future uses, including brain-controlled wheelchairs and rehabilitation devices, aiming to improve quality of life for those with disabilities." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Develop Universal Brain-Computer Interface That Lets People Play Games With Just Their Thoughts)

Writer Graig Thomas introduced an idea about the BCI (Brain Computer Interface) in his novel "Firefox". In that novel. The pilot can control the jet fighter systems using EEG waves. And then the Neuralink corporation installed the first EEG chip into a patient's brain a couple of months ago. And today that person plays computer games using that chip. Today the BCI system is planned to be put into modern jet fighters like the F-35, and its successors like Tempest II that RAF planned for the future jet fighter. 

The problem with Neuralink chips is that their installation requires surgery. If the user can wear a BCI (Brain Computer Interface) like a hat. That makes this kind of system easier to use. If, and when this kind of BCI hat comes to markets it will open new roads for computer gaming. But the same system can control robots, jet fighters, and many other things like drone swarms. That means the researchers can install those BCI-sensors pilot's helmets. And it can turn the legendary "Firefox" into a reality sooner than nobody expected.

The BCI  system which is easy to use is a tool. That can do many other things than just control the jet fighters. It can control drones or other remote robots. The developers can install lightweight systems in helmets. And that thing makes it possible to control computers and physical systems in the field circumstances. This thing makes them fundamental tools in the civil and military sectors. 

This type of wearable BCI system causes a question about the development of AI. The last two steps in the seven steps of the AI are artificial superintelligence and singularity. The BCI systems make it possible to step over one or two steps in AI development. So do we create singularity before artificial superintelligence and artificial general intelligence (AGI)? 

The AGI is the focus of AI development. The last two steps, artificial superintelligence (ASI) and singularity will operate lower-level systems through AGI, or artificial general intelligence. 

The last two steps are possible if developers use living neurons. Artificial superintelligence are microchips that communicate with cloned neurons or neuro-cell cultures. Mini-brains that researchers develop for medical research can be used in those artificial superintelligence systems. The living neurons can communicate with computers. The BCI systems allow developers can connect brains with computers. 

This system allows researchers can see what people remember and what they think. These types of systems are the tools that can store a person's memories and thoughts from their entire life on computer hard disks. And that thing makes even immortality possible. In this model, the system just clones the person and then drives the stored data in that person's brain.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
