The message reads, in part:

“The forum has brought together representatives of different professions, ages, and generations – literary elite and philosophers, scientists and cultural workers, and young people – for a serious, in-depth conversation on long-term strategic plans and our vision of our future.

I am convinced that, despite the current challenges we are facing today, we need to set goals that are ahead of their time, identify new areas for potential breakthroughs, and aspire to look beyond the horizon of tomorrow.

I would like to emphasise one thing: we must be the ones to define our future with sovereignty as the core of our world view, based on national culture, continuous artistic exploration and firm commitment to unquestionable moral and patriotic ideals and values. Then the boldest and most daring dreams will surely come true. Our people have proved this many times in the course of our thousand-year history. It established a great power, opened the way to the stars for humankind, ensured the country's leadership in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and made great scientific and geographical discoveries. We and future generations should be worthy of their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers.”

Rat brain connected to AI for the first time

She can answer any question about physics, history, and neurophysiology

MOSCOW, November 7, 2024. Russian scientists have created a smart laboratory rat, the first in the world to implant a neural interface with artificial intelligence in its brain. It can answer any question on physics, history and neurophysiology, according to the website of the Neiry biotech laboratory.
..
"The results of the Pythia experiment are one of the stages of the IIntuition project. For example, the user will be able to feel the truth or falsity of any statement or intuitively understand which answer in the test is correct. All this will increase the efficiency of human activity. And given that the entire evolution of humanity is moving along the path of increasing efficiency, then with our project we are carefully moving a person to the next step, where his faithful and reliable symbiote assistant will be AI," the words of Neiry CEO Alexander Panov are quoted in the message.

Представляем крысу, которая умнее большинства людей

Совместно с учеными из МГУ мы подключили мозг крысы к искусственному интеллекту. Теперь крыса стала гораздо умнее

Introducing the Rat That Is Smarter Than Most People

The Russian biotech laboratory Neiry, together with scientists from Moscow State University, presented the first results of a unique experiment — for the first time in the world, scientists and developers connected the brain of a rat to artificial intelligence (AI). The rat knows how to answer any questions using the keyboard.

Here is Pythia, the world's first smartest laboratory rat who can answer any question in physics, history, mathematics, and, of course, neurophysiology. Her brain is connected to artificial intelligence (AI). With the help of AI, it has access to any information on the Internet.

Key stages of the experiment:

The research team implanted an invasive neural interface directly into the brain of a rat. The electrodes of the neural interface allow you to stimulate special areas of the rat's brain in a certain way.

The neural interface works in tandem with AI, modified in a special way by the project team.

Scientists verbally ask any question, and the AI prompts the rat to the correct answer using electrical stimulation of the brain.

For a rat, an "AI clue" looks like sensations in the body. She experiences certain sensations in a certain place when it is necessary to answer "yes", and in another place when the answer is "no". For the correct answer, Pythia receives a reward.

That is why Neiry and scientists from Moscow State University called the future product "Artificial Intuition" (IIntuition / = AIntuition).

Thus, the rodent has been "upgraded" and can now answer questions using AI. In the foreseeable future, any person with an implanted neural interface will be able to do the same.

The rat has already correctly answered hundreds of scientific questions — about quasars, myelin shells, the Python language, and Albert Einstein's birthday. The experiment continues every day, and the number of rats with a neural interface is also growing.

"As part of a joint project with Neiry, we decided to test our devices on my idea, which is a bit hooligan from a scientific point of view, which is the ability to transmit meaningful information through bodily sensations. From the point of view of neurophysiology, this experiment is quite understandable and is designed to test the quality of the electrodes and electronics we have created. In addition, we wanted to demonstrate the concept of combining natural and artificial intelligence. We plan to come up with much more complex and interesting ideas for the interaction between AI and the brain," says Vasily Popkov, head of the Laboratory for the Development of Invasive Neural Interfaces at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Moscow State University.

"What is happening here now is a revolution. This is where AI and the brain of a rat, then other animals, and finally a human, come together. Why is it necessary? We need to solve the existential problem. Is AI an assistant or a rival for us? How will we live with him? In my opinion, this is how we will live well, peacefully coexist. When AI integrates with natural intelligence, they will work together. AI will do what it does well: memorize huge amounts of information, process it, and transmit it to the natural brain. And the natural brain will be engaged in its own tasks: related to creativity, intuition, as well as consciousness. This is just the beginning, a revolution is ahead of us!" — Mikhail Lebedev, Professor, Moscow State University.

The Pythia experiment is carried out as part of the joint research project of Neiry and Moscow State University - IIntuition. The goal of this project is to develop invasive neural interfaces, in the future it is planned to create a user product that will help connect the human brain with the knowledge of all mankind.

"At Neiry, we are engaged in the development of products based on neurotechnologies for completely different industries. The results of the Pythia experiment are one of the stages of the IIntuition project. For example, the user will be able to feel the truth or falsity of any statement or intuitively understand which answer in the test is correct. All this will increase the efficiency of human activity. And given that the entire evolution of humanity is moving towards increasing efficiency, our project is carefully moving humans to the next step, where AI will be their faithful and reliable symbiote assistant," Alexander Panov, CEO of Neiry.

The experiment was announced at the annual meeting of NeiryRoundB shareholders. The results of the experiment will be published in scientific journals. Currently, the team is preparing a series of new and no less interesting announcements."

"Neyronet (English: NeuroNet, NeuroWeb, Brainet) or Web 4.0 is one of the proposed stages of the development of the World Wide Web, in which the interaction of participants (people, animals, intelligent agents) will be carried out on the principles of neuro—communication. According to forecasts, it should replace Web 3.0 approximately in 2030-2040.

History
The ideas on which the concept of the Neuronet is based date back more than a decade. First of all, we are talking about the possibility of enhancing human intelligence by analogy with the increase in physical strength, voiced by William Ashby in "Introduction to Cybernetics" (1956), and then developed by Joseph Licklider in the article "Human-computer symbiosis" (1960) and Douglas Engelbart in the report "The Addition of human Intelligence: a conceptual framework" (1962) to the concept of the exocortex — an information processing system external to humans. In 1973, in the article "Towards a direct connection between the brain and the computer", Jacques J. Vidal first used the term neurocomputer interface, and in 1998 Phillip Kennedy and Roy Bakay from Emory University in Atlanta implanted the first such an interface to a patient named Johnny Ray.

Secondly, we are talking about the prospect of the emergence of a global brain, the idea of which goes back to the collection of short stories by H. G. Wells "The World Brain" (1936-1938). A little later, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, developing the idea of Eduard Leroy about the noosphere, formulated in the "Phenomenon of Man" (1938-1940) the concept of the Omega point — the moment when the whole set of human consciousnesses will form into a higher consciousness. Valentin Turchin in the book "The Phenomenon of Science: A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution" (1973) introduced the concept of the quantum of evolution — a metasystem transition. As a result of one of these transitions, it will be possible to physically integrate individual nervous systems with the creation of potentially immortal human super-beings.

The first scientific publication on the topic was an article by Gottfried Mayer-Kress and Kathleen Barczys "The global brain as a structure developing from a worldwide computer network, and the consequences of this conclusion for modeling" (1995). Since 2013, there have been experiments on the possibility of direct communication from brain to brain (Sam A. Deadwyler et al., Miguel Pais-Vieira et al., Carles Grau et al., Rajesh P. N. Rao et al.).

In 2011, the well—known creator of neurocomputer interfaces, Brazilian Miguel Nicolelis, in his book Beyond boundaries: the new neuroscience of connecting brains with machines - and how it will change our lives, proposed the word "Brainet" for the name of the future brain network.* The term "neuronet" was originally used to refer to artificial neural networks.

Abstract
Recently, we proposed that Brainets, i.e. networks formed by multiple animal brains, cooperating and exchanging information in real time through direct brain-to-brain interfaces, could provide the core of a new type of computing device: an organic computer. Here, we describe the first experimental demonstration of such a Brainet, built by interconnecting four adult rat brains. Brainets worked by concurrently recording the extracellular electrical activity generated by populations of cortical neurons distributed across multiple rats chronically implanted with multi-electrode arrays. Cortical neuronal activity was recorded and analyzed in real time and then delivered to the somatosensory cortices of other animals that participated in the Brainet using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS). Using this approach, different Brainet architectures solved a number of useful computational problems, such as discrete classification, image processing, storage and retrieval of tactile information and even weather forecasting. Brainets consistently performed at the same or higher levels than single rats in these tasks. Based on these findings, we propose that Brainets could be used to investigate animal social behaviors as well as a test bed for exploring the properties and potential applications of organic computers.

Introduction
After introducing the concept of brain-to-brain interfaces (BtBIs), our laboratory demonstrated experimentally that BtBIs could be utilized to directly transfer tactile or visuomotor information between pairs of rat brains in real time. Since our original report, other studies have highlighted several properties of BtBIs, such as transmission of hippocampus representations between rodents, transmission of visual information between a human and a rodent and transmission of motor information between two humans. Our lab has also shown that Brainets could allow monkey pairs or triads to perform cooperative motor tasks mentally by inducing, accurate synchronization of neural ensemble activity across individual brains.

In addition to the concept of BtBIs, we have also suggested that networks of multiple interconnected animal brains, which we dubbed Brainet, could provide the core for a new type of computing device: an organic computer. Here, we tested the hypothesis that such a Brainet could potentially exceed the performance of individual brains, due to a distributed and parallel computing architecture. This hypothesis was tested by constructing a Brainet formed by four interconnected rat brains and then investigating how it could solve fundamental computational problems (Fig. 1A–C). In our Brainet, all four rats were chronically implanted with multielectrode arrays, placed bilaterally in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). These implants were used to both record neural ensemble electrical activity and transmit virtual tactile information via intracortical electrical microstimulation (ICMS). Once animals recovered from the implantation surgery, the resulting 4-rat Brainets (Fig. 1) were tested in a variety of ways. Our central goal was to investigate how well different Brainet architectures could be employed by the four rats to collaborate in order to solve a particular computational task. Different Brainet designs were implemented to address three fundamental computational problems: discrete classification, sequential and parallel computations and memory storage/retrieval. As predicted, we observed that Brainets consistently outperformed individual rats in each of these tasks.

"...A new understanding of it as the name of the next generation of the global communication network after the Semantic Web began to take shape in Russia starting in 2012. In particular, in this sense, the Neuronet was mentioned in November of that year on polit.ru, and in March 2013 in an article of the Russian Reporter magazine devoted to the activities of participants in the Russia 2045 movement, with reference to the American futurist Raymond Kurzweil. Speaking at the TED conference in February 2005, Kurzweil predicted that by 2029 man would begin to merge with technology. And during a speech at the DEMO conference in Santa Clara (California) in October 2012, he talked about the future expansion of brain capabilities through cloud computing, that is, about the exocortex. In August 2013, the term Neuronet was voiced by Pavel Luksha, professor of the Moscow School of Management "Skolkovo" at the Foresight Fleet conducted by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), as well as during presentations of the results of the foresight project "Education 2030"."

The world's leading experts discussed the future of neuroscience and neurotechnology at the RVC seminar

Last week, the RVC office hosted an expert seminar "Neuronet Roadmap", at which the world's leading experts in the field of neuroscience and members of the Russian Neuronet group discussed neuroscience and neurotechnology – one of the most relevant areas of research.

The seminar participants said that applied solutions in this area are developing at an accelerated pace. With the help of implanted electrodes, the monkey can already control two independent moving targets. New neural interfaces are just around the corner: scientists turn neurons on and off using light signals and can read information from them and transmit signals to them, introducing neural dust into the brain – the smallest crystals, no larger than 5 microns. All these achievements promise breakthroughs in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in the development of auditory and visual prostheses.

Michail Lebedev with the green shirt

Neurotechnologies affect the sphere of entertainment, the education system, approaches to the management of industry and trade. But the most important result of a scientific and technological breakthrough in the field of neuroscience is the achievement of a new quality in communications. The modern Internet transmits information and even semantics, but is powerless in transmitting emotions and the unconscious. The Neuronet is the next generation of the Internet, which will use neural interfaces to create new types of communication between people and machines. By linking hundreds or, in the future, even billions of intelligences into a neurocomputer network, it will be possible to achieve a synergistic effect in their joint work, since the brain has the property of plasticity. Perhaps, in the era of the Neuronet, people will finally agree on solving the world's problems, because an environment will appear that will help overcome the usual human distortions of thinking and perception. New opportunities will open up in teamwork and improving the effectiveness of educational programs.

But, it is necessary to take into account and calculate the negative consequences of the onset of the era of the Neuronet. The new Internet can become a tool for manipulating public consciousness, surpassing in propaganda power all hitherto known mass media and communications. However, technological innovations have not always been exclusively for the benefit of humanity: one of the results of the invention of 3D printing was the proliferation of weapons, and the Internet brought with it hacking, cyberterrorism and, on a more massive scale, various syndromes and addictions.

In the movement to the Neuronet, it is important not to lag behind, but rather to get ahead of competitors – the experts of the seminar emphasized. But the introduction of new technologies in this area is hampered by the fact that venture investments are short–term by definition and usually do not apply to ambitious projects. And the enthusiasm of people who are able to promote this concept in the investment environment is very important here. The role of development institutions is to identify key technological trends and stages of their development, to propose formats and areas of application of Neuronet technologies and, ultimately, mechanisms for stimulating scientific and technological breakthroughs in this area, including through the implementation of specific projects with the potential for commercialization.

Neuronet (NeuroWeb) will become the next generation of the Internet

17.10.2014

Many participants of the international seminar held last night on the territory of the Russian Venture Company (RVC) are sure of this.

And Pavel Luksha, Ph.D. in Economics, professor at the Skolkovo Business School, Director of Global Education Futures, one of the co-founders of the Russian Neuronet Group, is most confident in this.

In his opinion, the possibilities of the current Internet are very limited. In particular, they do not allow direct transfer of life experiences and emotions from brain to brain. The Neuronet will allow you to raise the quality of communications to a whole new level.

In addition, it will dramatically increase the efficiency of teamwork and open up new opportunities in the field of training.

Pavel Luksha [on the photo] believes that in the modern world, many problems arise due to the fact that people cannot agree with each other on the joint use of certain resources. The Neuronet – through the organization of a kind of “collective mind” - will help to solve these problems.

Neuronet is the same as the World Wide Web. Only its “nodes” are not smartphones, tablets and laptops, but human brains “plastered” with inclusive or non-inclusive electronics

From a technical point of view, the work of a Neuronet is as follows: electrodes are inserted into a person's head in the right places, which can both record the activity of neurons in the human brain and affect these neurons. Instead of temporarily used and rather bulky electrodes, permanently sewn microimplants can be used. So-called non-invasive solutions are also possible, that is, solutions that do not require surgical intervention and outwardly look, for example, like a helmet put on the head of a Neuronet user while the latter wishes to use the services of a Neuronet. The electrical signals taken from this “neural helmet” are encoded in a certain way and fed into the already existing wired or wireless structure of the high-speed Internet.

The roadmap for the development of the Neuronet for the period from 2014 to 2040 is shown below.

It shows that the Neurоnet is preceded by Biometrynet (2014 - 2024), which is based on Internet communications using various biometric information from wearable devices. Strictly speaking, the explosive growth of the market of fitness gadgets that track various body parameters (temperature, pulse, pressure, motor activity, and so on) we are watching right now. In this sense, neuro detectors can be considered as one of the types of biosensors.

When Biometrinet becomes commonplace, the "Neuronet Offensive" will begin (2025-2035), during which communication protocols based on digital models of mental processes will be developed and approaches to organizing a “collective consciousness” capable of “brainstorming” and solving tasks that require the concerted efforts of many people will be found.

A full-fledged Neuronet, according to the drafters of this roadmap, will arise only after 2035.

Of course, any new technology can be used both for good and for harm. For example, there are already Internet-dependent people for whom “virtual reality" does not complement and enrich the “true reality", but replaces it. Therefore, I would very much not like to see the mass appearance of neuronet-dependent people."

In the Russian version:

The emergence of brain-computer interfaces and neurochips, the active use of portable devices, as well as the start of the implementation of major international projects on brain modeling and artificial intelligence can become the basis for the formation of a new generation of communication environment — Neuronet.

NeuroNet is the next generation of the Internet that will use neural interfaces to create new types of communication between humans and machines and change the system of interaction between humans and computers. The prototype of NeuroNet appeared in science fiction back in the 1980s, but only in recent years have we received the technological capabilities to develop mass market products in this area.

Participants of the panel discussion will discuss how neural interfaces and other similar technologies are used today and what are the prospects for their application in the near future, when the first NeuroNet communication formats may appear, and in what field of human activity they will be used, as well as how to stimulate a scientific and technological breakthrough in this area."

Neuronet

"Road Map" "Neuronet" was approved by Protocol No. 1 of 02/28/12 by absentee voting of members of the Presidium of the Government Commission for Economic Modernization and Innovative Development of Russia.

The market of human-machine communication tools based on advanced developments in neurotechnologies and increasing the productivity of human-machine systems, the productivity of mental and mental processes.

The predecessor market is the market of wearable devices that transmit information via the Internet. New technologies, products and services of Neuronet will be developed based on the results of intensive study of the human brain and nervous system.

description
The next technological revolution will be associated with neurotechnologies and a radical increase in the productivity of mental labor due to the integration of the human brain and computing machines. The rapid development of this direction will begin after the decoding (mapping) of the brain is completed, by analogy with the biotechnological revolution that started after the decoding of the human genome.

The neural network will be the next stage in the development of the current Internet (Web 4.0), in which the interaction of participants (human— human, human—machine) will be carried out using new neurocomputer interfaces, in addition to traditional methods, and the computers themselves will become neuromorphic (similar to the brain) based on hybrid digital-analog architectures. The emergence of social neural networks and full-fledged hybrid human-machine intelligence is predicted.

The use of neurotechnologies in the field of education will dramatically increase the volume and speed of assimilation of new knowledge, while the development of technologies such as neurofitness and memory modulation will lead to the possibility of multiple enhancement of cognitive abilities.

In the field of medicine, there will be technologies that allow the use of artificial limbs and additional sensory organs, which by 2035 will develop into accessible to the mass consumer neurocontrol of household space. At the same time, effective targeted biomarkers and drugs that can treat various age-related dementias, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, are expected to appear in the ten-year future. And in twenty years, the discovery of gene and cellular technologies for brain correction is possible.

In the XXI century, the world is faced with global problems common to all countries:

- population ageing;
- the increasing complexity of the technosphere;
- an increase in the number of man-made disasters;
- increasing the information load.

The answer to this is the emergence of various solutions based on neurotechnologies, including hybrid human-machine intelligence, which will significantly expand the resources of the human brain and increase its productivity through integration with the technosphere.

Neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis and his colleagues astounded the world in 2003 with the report that they had induced monkeys to manipulate a robotic arm with brain signals. One major question remained: What exactly was going on in the monkeys' brain circuits during this adaptation?

Nicolelis, Mikhail Lebedev, and colleagues have analyzed the data from those earlier experiments in detail and report in a May issue of the journal Neuron that the animals' brains are adapting to treat the arm as if it were their own appendage.

Monkeys Adapt Robot Arm as Their Own

DURHAM, N.C. -- Monkeys that learn to use their brain signals to control a robotic arm are not just learning to manipulate an external device, Duke University Medical Center neurobiologists have found. Rather, their brain structures are adapting to treat the arm as if it were their own appendage.

Published May 10, 2005 | Updated January 20, 2016
..
The finding has profound implications both for understanding the extraordinary adaptability of the primate brain and for the potential clinical success of brain-operated devices to give the handicapped the ability to control their environment, said the researchers.

Led by neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis of Duke's Center for Neuroengineering, the researchers published their findings in the May 11, 2005, issue of the Journal of Neuroscience. Lead author on the paper was Mikhail Lebedev in Nicolelis's laboratory. Other coauthors were Jose Carmena, Joseph O'Doherty, Miriam Zacksenhouse, Craig Henriquez and Jose Principe. The work was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the James S. McDonnel Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.

In the study, Lebedev performed detailed analysis of the mass of neural data that emerged from experiments reported in 2003, in which the researchers discovered for the first time that monkeys were able to control a robot arm with only their brain signals.

In those experiments, the researchers first implanted an array of microelectrodes -- each thinner than a human hair -- into the frontal and parietal lobes of the brains of two female rhesus macaque monkeys.

Lifeboat Foundation Press Release: The Human Brain/Cloud Interface research paper has been published!

This paper describes how neuralnanorobotics may enable a B/CI with controlled connectivity between neural activity and external data storage and processing, via the direct monitoring of the brain’s ~86 × 10^9 neurons and ~2 × 10^14 synapses.

lifeboat.com

February 22, 2020 — Our Amara D. Angelica, Frank J. Boehm, Krishnan Chakravarthy, Robert A. Freitas Jr., Steven A. Garan, Tad Hogg, Mikhail A. Lebedev, Nuno R. B. Martins, Jeffrey V. Rosenfeld, Yuriy Svidinenko, and Melanie Swan have published the popular scientific paper the Human Brain/Cloud Interface in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
..
This real-time connection between the brain and the cloud would include neural nanobots that monitor and control the neural connections, making it possible to connect to vast data networks and other humans simply by thinking about it. And knowledge could be acquired by downloading directly to the brain.
..
The interfaces wouldn't just stop at linking humans and computers, say researchers. A network of brains could also help form what they call a 'global superbrain' that would allow for collective thought.
..
In recent experiments, researchers have already demonstrated the capability to conjoin human brains in collective tasks in what they call BrainNet.
..
'Nevertheless, with these and other promising technologies for [brain-computer interface] developing at an ever-increasing rate, an 'internet of thoughts' could become a reality before the turn of the century.'
..
Martins added that thanks to the advancement of neuralnanorobotics, there could be a ‘superbrain’ created that could revolutionize democracy, enhance empathy and ultimately unite culturally diverse groups into a truly global society.”

Merging man and machine

The idea of merging humanity and machine is not new, as others, including the aforementioned Kurzweil, have discussed it at length. In 2018, futurist Ian Pearson published a blog theorizing that humans could eventually become immortal, not with their bodies, but by merging their brains with androids.
..
In a November 2018 interview, Musk alluded to the fact that Neuralink wants to “redefine what future humans will be.” Its goal is to help humanity “achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence and to achieve a democratization of intelligence such that it’s not monopolistically held by governments and large corporations.”

The Emergence of Neurotechnologies of the Future

roscongress.org

Neural interface technologies (brain-computer interfaces) have gained serious and large-scale development over the past decade. Which neuro-technologies are the most promising in the present and in the near future? What lies ahead for us when various neuro-technologies reach critical mass and inevitably begin to hybridize with one another? What will the neural interface of the future look like? Will we move from the correction of neuro-pathologies to the augmentation of human capabilities? Will neural interfaces connect individuals into an ‘Internet of Brains’?

Why Does the Brain Need to Connect to a Computer?

roscongress.org

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that read signals directly from (or transmit them to) the brain, bypassing our senses. The number of areas in which BCIs can be applied is truly vast: in the early diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions and brain diseases (including Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, depression, and hypertension); in mental health monitoring; in the restoration of lost cognitive abilities and motor functions; in the ability to transform thought and intention into speech; and in areas where objects can be controlled by the power of thought. In addition to medicine and healthcare, such technologies can also be used in smart homes. In one form or another, neural interfaces are one of the recent technological trends that cannot help but develop further. Today, humanity has already approached the dividing line between science fiction and real everyday life, and it will be very interesting to explore what advantages lie ahead for people when this line is crossed. What sets apart the current state of world technologies in the field of neural interfaces? Domestic versus foreign markets of neuro-technologies: what are their difference and what is the interest of large businesses? What are the most common applications of BCIs known today? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of BCIs today? What is preventing the widespread adoption of BCIs?

Эксперт назвал главную задачу для российских и зарубежный нейрофизиологов

По словам руководителя группы разработки инвазивных нейроинтерфейсов Института искусственного интеллекта МГУ Василия Попкова, это будет решение проблемы с обновлением различных нейроимплантов и систем аугментации

The expert named the main task for Russian and foreign neurophysiologists

According to Vasily Popkov, Head of the Invasive Neural Interfaces Development Group at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Moscow State University, this will be a solution to the problem of updating various neural implants and augmentation systems

TASS, February 14, 2024. Solving the problem of updating various neural implants and augmentation systems will soon become the next big task for Russian and foreign neurophysiologists after the creation of electrodes that are fully compatible with the brain. This was reported to TASS by Vasily Popkov, head of the group for the development of invasive neural interfaces at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Moscow State University, at the Moscow Forum of Future Technologies.

"Me personally and our laboratory as a whole are now actively working on solving issues related to the biocompatibility of neural implants with brain tissue. In the near future, when this problem is finally solved, our next big challenge will be the problem of updating neural interfaces. This is a very painful issue, since it is extremely difficult to remove the implant without destroying connections and neurons," Popkov explained.

As the researcher noted, a possible solution to this problem lies in the fact that experimental scientists and practitioners will implant into the brain not a complete neural interface, but a special connector for a neural implant, which will allow connecting updated versions of augmentation systems without destroying the already established connections between nerve cells and electrodes. Solving this problem is crucial for the practical use of brain augmentation systems.

Эксперт спрогнозировал "гонку нейроимплантов" из-за потери технологической однополярности

Руководитель группы разработки инвазивных нейроинтерфейсов Института искусственного интеллекта МГУ Василий Попков отметил, что США обладали монополией на технологические инновации, что позволяло Вашингтону тормозить развитие потенциально опасных областей, таких как клонирование

nauka.tass.ru

The expert predicted a "race of neural implants" due to the loss of technological unipolarity

Vasily Popkov, head of the group for the development of invasive neural interfaces at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Moscow State University, noted that the United States had a monopoly on technological innovations, which allowed Washington to slow down the development of potentially dangerous areas, such as cloning

MOSCOW, February 14, 2024. The loss of the monopoly on technological innovation by the United States will lead to the beginning of a kind of "race of neural implants" between the West, China, Russia, Brazil, the countries of the Arab world and other centers of power and science in the world. This was stated by Vasily Popkov, head of the group for the development of invasive neural interfaces at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Moscow State University, at the Moscow Forum of Future Technologies.

Three decades ago, the U.S. had a monopoly on technological innovation, which allowed Washington to inhibit the development of potentially dangerous technologies, such as cloning, and related markets through regulatory restrictions. Now the world has at least two technological poles, the role of which is played by the United States and China, which does not allow technological leaders to artificially slow down the development of neural implant technologies for fear of hopelessly lagging behind," Popkov said.

According to the scientist, this fear will lead in the near future to the relaxation of regulatory norms related to the development of implants to restore the normal functions of the human body, and in one or two decades, similar processes will take place in the field of creating augmentation systems, neural interfaces that improve cognitive and other human abilities.

"All ethical issues related to the development of neural interfaces will fade into the background, and an analogue of the "space race" of the last century will begin, which this time will be aimed at expanding human capabilities. Unlike microelectronics and many other technologies, we are not hopelessly behind in this area, and with proper investment of funds and efforts, we will be able to reduce this gap and compete in this regard with the leading participants in this race," Popkov summed up."

Introducing the First Concept of Neuroethics in Russia

18.10.2024

The concept of the first neuroethics in Russia prescribes principles and recommendations for companies, the state, and patients — when implanting chips and implants in the human brain, and other cases of using neurotechnologies. The authors of the document were a group of leading neurophysiologists: the Russian biotech laboratory Neiry, the laboratory for the development of invasive neurointerfaces of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Moscow State University, as well as independent experts.

Implants are already being built into our lives and changing it: as of 2020, 160 thousand chips were implanted in the brain around the world, and 12 thousand new patients are added every year. The chips are used for patients living with spinal cord injuries, epilepsy, OCD, parkinsonism, and many other diseases. Neurotechnologies open up new opportunities not only for restoring the lost functions of the nervous system, but also in the future for its improvement: developing concentration, improving memory, and controlling the exoskeleton.

"As part of a joint project with Neiry, we decided to test our devices on my idea, which is a bit hooligan from a scientific point of view, which is the ability to transmit meaningful information through bodily sensations. From the point of view of neurophysiology, this experiment is quite understandable and is designed to test the quality of the electrodes and electronics we have created. In addition, we wanted to demonstrate the concept of combining natural and artificial intelligence. We plan to come up with much more complex and interesting ideas for the interaction between AI and the brain," says Vasily Popkov, head of the Laboratory for the Development of Invasive Neural Interfaces at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Moscow State University.

"What is happening here now is a revolution. This is where AI and the brain of a rat, then other animals, and finally a human, come together. Why is it necessary? We need to solve the existential problem. Is AI an assistant or a rival for us? How will we live with him? In my opinion, this is how we will live well, peacefully coexist. When AI integrates with natural intelligence, they will work together. AI will do what it does well: memorize huge amounts of information, process it, and transmit it to the natural brain. And the natural brain will be engaged in its own tasks: related to creativity, intuition, as well as consciousness. This is just the beginning, a revolution is ahead of us!" — Mikhail Lebedev, Professor, Moscow State University.

The Pythia experiment is carried out as part of the joint research project of Neiry and Moscow State University - IIntuition. The goal of this project is to develop invasive neural interfaces, in the future it is planned to create a user product that will help connect the human brain with the knowledge of all mankind.

"At Neiry, we are engaged in the development of products based on neurotechnologies for completely different industries. The results of the Pythia experiment are one of the stages of the IIntuition project. For example, the user will be able to feel the truth or falsity of any statement or intuitively understand which answer in the test is correct. All this will increase the efficiency of human activity. And given that the entire evolution of humanity is moving towards increasing efficiency, our project is carefully moving humans to the next step, where AI will be their faithful and reliable symbiote assistant," Alexander Panov, CEO of Neiry.

DIGITAL MODELING OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND HYGIENIC PROCESSES: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING IN THE SERVICE OF HEALTH
Announcement
In recent years, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become a central topic of scientific discussion, especially in the context of their applications for biosecurity and public health. These advanced technologies play a key role in predicting and responding quickly to biological threats, as well as in in-depth analysis of the sanitary and epidemiological situation. Currently, mobile technologies and analytical platforms using AI and big data super-integration methods are being actively introduced, which can significantly increase the level of sanitary and epidemiological well-being.

Modern big data analysis systems play an important role in the early detection of epidemiological threats, which prevents their spread at an early stage. New methods for modeling time series using embeddings generation open up additional opportunities for accurate forecasting of epidemiological trends and managing the sanitary and epidemiological situation. Particular attention in this area is attracted by large language models, which are increasingly used in hygiene and epidemiology. These models automate the processing of huge amounts of medical data, creating more accurate and faster predictions, as well as improving the analysis and interpretation of epidemiological studies.

In addition, agent-based systems that can become assistants for epidemiologists and sanitary doctors significantly increase the efficiency and speed of their work by providing timely recommendations and supporting the decision-making process. Also, the automation of occupational health and safety processes using AI systems can significantly improve safety in the workplace. These systems are able to analyze data in real time, automatically identify potential risks and propose measures to prevent them.

Technologies that were once considered science fiction are now becoming a part of our daily lives and helping people to solve problems in various fields of activity. Neurotechnology is one of the most promising technological trends of recent times. Neurotechnology is already making it possible to establish a connection between the brain and a computer, prosthetic limbs, artificial sensory organs, and other devices that assist or compensate for lost human functions. Artificial intelligence technologies also open up new opportunities for the development of the functionality of neural interfaces and methods of their application. In recent years, the scope of neurotechnology has expanded significantly, in particular, it has become possible to enhance the mental abilities of a person. The potential of knowledge about the work of our brain is applicable not only in the medical field, but also in many other areas - education, industry, gaming and personnel management.
