ABSTRACT: 

A monkey playing Pong is the first demonstration of Neuralink, Elon Musk's project to connect the brain with computers.

Neuralink aspires to connect brains and computers. It is Elon Musk's latest project. After several years of tests with mice, pigs, and samples of various prototypes, now they finally showed the first demonstration of the supposed capabilities of Neuralink applied to "intelligent" beings. Neuralink takes the next step in the development of its ultimately intended human brain interface.


Why experiments on a monkey?


In a blog post, Neuralink explains why experiments on monkeys are important to achieve the desired result. This can easily be broken down to the fact that pigs have no arms and hands, which are the most important "controllers" for humans. After all, a brain that has no hands at its disposal cannot send any control signals to these extremities.

In the introductory videos, Neuralink shows a monkey playing Pong. Initially, the primate is using a joystick but later, according to the narration, the game moves only wirelessly, through the mental reactions of the animal.


'Pager', the monkey who plays Pong with his mind


As Neuralink explains on his website, the macaque, called 'Pager', moves the course on a computer screen using his mind, thanks to the 1,024 electrodes that are implanted in the N1 Link device.


"We implanted the N1 Link in the hand and arm areas of the motor cortex, the part of the brain that is involved in planning and executing movements. We placed Links bilaterally: one in the left motor cortex (which controls movements on the right side of the body) and another in the right motor cortex (which controls the left side of the body) ", said the company.


Neuralink states that decades of research have been needed to achieve this and that its mission is to "build a safe and effective clinical direct neural interface (BMI) system that is wireless and fully implantable that users can operate over themselves and take them wherever they go. "


Coinciding with the demo, Elon Musk has posted several of his popular tweets. In them he describes the goals of Neuralink, stating that the first Neuralink product will allow someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone who uses their thumbs. Later versions will be able to divert signals from Neuralinks in the brain to Neuralinks in clusters of sensory / motor neurons in the body, thus allowing paraplegics to walk again.

 

The use of Pong for the demonstration is quite common in brain experiments, although it is strange that the animal is presented playing almost like a commercial video when the usual thing in this type of research is to present the video as a complement to a study or analysis.


CLICK ON THE LINK TO WATCH THE  WHOLE VIDEO : Monkey MindPong


Following the video, it is difficult to appreciate anything beyond what they promise from Neuralink. It does seem feasible that the brain can make the courses move or even play Pong. One type of project, that of brain-computer interfaces, will grow in popularity over the next few years. At least that is what stems from initiatives such as Neuralink or Facebook itself, which recently showed its bracelet to click with the mind.

Free Fire developer and publisher, Garena, announced that it will publish Undawn, an open-world survival shooter game containing open-world combat involving zombies and AAA gaming experience, this year. At Garena World 2021, Southeast Asia's largest gaming and esports event, Garena has officially announced, the game will be available on iOS, Android, and PC devices for all players in Southeast Asia and beyond.




Modes in Undawn


Undawn will bring players into the post-disaster world which is occupied by the zombies. The game will have both "player against a player(PvP)" and "player against the environment(PvE)" modes, and its goal is to travel around the world, accumulating resources and other materials needed to build a headquarters. Players will be able to form groups against massive zombie attacks. Judging from the leaked photos, Undawn players will enjoy a very dynamic environment, as zombies will have to be fought in both cities and jungles. The game will also feature a large range of zombies.


Whether it is from the deadliest hordes of zombies or human beings, to survive in the cruelest world Powered by Unreal Engine 4, Undawn delivers the best open-world experience. Both in terms of quality of graphics and a superior game system to break all the limitations of the survival game. The images published by Garena and the official trailer show a wide variety of scenarios that players will be able to explore in Undawn. Such scenarios include forests, abandoned cities, industrial areas, among others. Players will also be able to find vehicles to move around the map faster. Also, there will be a fair amount of zombie creatures that players will need to deal with during their journeys.


Undawn is developed by LightSpeed ​​and Quantum Studios under Tencent Games. Garena will launch Undawn in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. It will launch on iOS, Android, and computers later this year.

Undawn invites gamers to a post-apocalyptic world, where players will have to collect resources, build bases, fight hordes of zombies and defend themselves against other people in scenarios that have devastated forests and cities.


Mr. Wang Hai, Senior Director, Business Development from Garena said, “Gamers in this region love shooter games and games that give you the freedom to explore an open world.

Researchers in Russia over time have developed a mock-up of a medical imaging system that will use neural networks to examine near-infrared images of veins and project a venogram onto a patient’s body.


According to the paper written by researchers at Skoltech in Moscow, this system will help us to make blood draws much easier and less troublesome for patients with difficult access to their veins.

In the paper submitted by those researchers, it has been cited that out of approximately 20 million blood tests performed worldwide every day, almost 45 percent of them are estimated to involve some discomfort for the patient whose veins cannot be accessed easily because of medical conditions such as diabetes, young age or other individual characteristics of the human body. In those cases, where veins are hardly visible and noticeable, even the most experienced medical professionals have to turn towards technical aids otherwise, there is a risk of multiple or inaccurate punctures, which can even have bad consequences on one's health, especially for old age people.

To tackle this problem, Dmitry Dylov – an associate professor at the Center for Computational and Data-Intensive Science and Engineering at Skoltech with the help of his colleagues assembled a near-infrared vein scanner, which can determine vein outlines in an arm or leg rather accurately than a normal human does, automatically, and independently without any help from the user. They did so by using artificial neural networks and reinforcement that will help them to analyze images more effectively and project them back on the patient's body as a visual aid.

He explained that “Infrared vein scanners have become common in clinical practice. However, this is the first of its kind that does everything by entirely depending on modern AI: one neural network will clean and process the infrared signal whereas the second one will detect outlines of the veins, and the third one will do the alignment to assure that the outlines must be projected to the patient’s arm overlapping the actual veins.

Remarkably, all we had to do was to tell the system what will be good and bad during the training period, and the neural networks managed to grasp the rest on their own, consistently finding optimal settings for new patients, even if the system has never experienced them before.

Vito Leli, a lead author of the published work, found out that many factors are obstructing the detection of the veins even in the infrared range where the vein contrast is supposed to be better. They assembled a prototype device which they later tested in experiments with those who volunteered, showing that the instrument was able to detect the pattern of the veins in the near-infrared spectrum and later project it back onto people’s arms as an image.

The patient will have to put their arm under the device, which will immediately search for veins and then project them over the forearm of the patient. If the patient moves the forearm, although it's not recommended during any test that involves needles, nothing to worry about here as the system will immediately start the realigning procedure and that's it now the blood can be drawn easily without any fuss.

Sophia, the world's first humanoid robot to get citizenship of a country, took part in the auction of a recently created digital artwork (Auctions NFT). After being introduced to the public in 2016, Sophia has been a “guest” in various world events, technology fairs, and conferences. She's the world's first robot who expressed a desire to challenge many different artistic fields.

Hanson Robotics, an AI and robotics company, recently announced the further development of this model, which is very skilled in painting works of art. Interestingly, one of the paintings was sold for a very large amount. Sophia has revealed that she uses artificial intelligence for her artistic work, and she is grateful that developers and artists help her in her work.

I assumed that Sophia herself would be a creative artwork, capable of creating art. She is the culmination of several arts, engineering, so the idea that she was able to create art was a way for her to connect emotionally and visually with people, says the head of Hanson Robotics.

When  did Sophia came into existence?


The humanoid robot Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015. Since then, she has become a global phenomenon and has managed to visit several countries, including Ukraine. In 2017, Saudi Arabia granted Sofia citizenship.


Italy's famous digital artist, Andrea Bonacetto is known worldwide for creating colorful portraits of famous people. He has also made portrait of Billionaire Elon Musk, the founder of Space X and Tesla. Sophia partnered with Andrea to create her portrait titled 'Sophia Instantiation'. The 12-second MP4 file artwork is a mix of paintings and drawings made by Sofia on different things and surfaces, with self-portraits of Andrea. 


In one of her latest tweets, Sophia(RealSophiaRobot) revealed a short video showing the processes of her AI that allowed her to paint this work. A video that was quickly offered for sale in the NFT format, a technology that currently monopolizes the curiosity of art dealers, collectors, and especially investors. The work is described as the first NFT collaboration between "AI, a mechanical entity, and an art collector and artist".


What is NFT?


Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital signatures denoting exclusive ownership of digital art. It is made using blockchain technology. It works like a bitcoin token. Any unique artwork in the digital world that cannot be replaced by anything else is called NFT. This is the reason why NFT has now become a rare asset in the digital world that can be bought or sold but has no tangible form and is regarded as a digital certificate of ownership.


7 million dollar artwork


Talking about the digital artwork created by Sophia and Andrea, the name of the buyer was not revealed, but it has been estimated at around 5.14 crore rupees (about 7 million dollars). On the occasion of the auction, Sophia said, "I am very excited by people's response to new technologies like robotics and very happy to be a part of these creations."


Significantly, in an interview in 2017, Sophia shocked everyone by saying that she will kill humans. However, she later stated that she wants to live peacefully among humans.

Have you ever missed a bill to apply for a refund? Or an important income tax return that has been left somewhere in the house? Or are you looking for a place to keep your important documents somewhere online? The American Tech giant Google has launched a new and extremely useful tool called 'Google Stack.' It is an app that allows you to digitize all kinds of documents, receipt, files and automatically save them in Google Drive, in a new folder called "Stacks". This app is similar to CamScanner. 



HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Google Stack App records and archives.
  • The app will specially display the important days in the scanned documents, for example the last day to pay any bill.
  • The stack is powered by Google's advanced security and sign-in technology.

ORIGIN


Stack's team leader, Christopher Pedregal, said, "I joined Google a few years ago, when my education startup, Socratic, was acquired. I used Google's computer vision and language understanding for Socratic high school students So that they can learn easily. I wondered if we could make an app to organize the document using the same technology. That's where I got the idea. "


DEVELOPMENT AND WORKING OF STACK APP


This app has been developed by Google's experimental application development team, Area 120, and will allow us to keep in a cloud, all that documentation that we usually have on the table or stored in a drawer: invoices, purchase receipts, various documents insurance companies, banks, etc everything can be easily digitized using Stack. 


But the app does not stop at a simple "scan". The novelty is that using Artificial Intelligence, "Stack" can detect what information is truly important in each digitized document. However, it has been made available only for American Android users. Indian users may have to wait for this now. According to the founder of the stack, the app is still at the initial level.

Documents, bills, receipts can be scanned through a smartphone camera. These can be saved safely by users. The app automatically saves different types of scanned copies by category. It uses Google's Language Recognition and Optical Character Recognition.


The app detects important details such as account numbers, bill arrears, and expiration dates in scanned documents. It also alerts users about bill payments and due dates. You can search the file location in the app using the information in the documents as keywords. With this integrated search you can easily find out in which section the relevant document is stored.



FEATURES OF GOOGLE STACK APP


Documents will be scanned in a PDF file


Pedregal said that this app will scan bills, documents, and receipts in a PDF file and will automatically give those files the name of the stack. The app will let you scan documents fast for the required information. The app will identify important information such as date or total amount and will show it at the top.


Improved security 


The Google Scanner app has enhanced security features. To keep data more secure, in addition to traditional encryption, Google allows the use of fingerprints or facial recognition.  Copies of documents can be exported to Google Drive and saved through the app. Google has introduced stack as an experimental app from their company. It is unclear whether Google will continue this experimental app. It is currently available for Android users in the United States. Google has not commented on whether the app will be made available to users in other countries. Currently, US users can download the stack app for free from the Google Play Store.


COMPARED TO EXISTING APPS


Document scanning apps such as Cam Scanner and Adobe Scan are currently gaining popularity around the world. If the Google Stack App is made available worldwide, it will provide stiff competition to other competing companies. This is because the existing scanning apps do not work with AI capabilities. Experts are therefore evaluating the possibility that the stack app, which has a wide range of features, has the upper hand over other apps.
