矽芯片「郵票」植入物 即時將你嘅思緒電郵到人工智能

想像下,你被判終身監禁,冇得假釋,監獄就係你自己嘅身體。喺呢個囚室入面,你可能會被電擊抽搐,或者腦部出血,甚至被塞住口唔能講嘢,雙手雙腳被鎖住,甚至連陽光都冇得見。

但係,患有癲癇、中風、肌萎縮側索硬化症同失明等病嘅人,唔使想像,因為佢哋每日都面對住呢啲限制。理論上,腦機接口(BCI)可以幫助佢哋獲得「假釋」,但哥倫比亞大學嘅Ken Shepard教授指出,現時大部分BCI對大多數患者嚟講,並唔係真正嘅「逃獄」方案。

Shepard解釋:「大部分植入式系統都係圍繞住一個巨大嘅電子盒,喺身體入面佔據咗好大空間。」佢係呢個項目嘅工程負責人,亦係哥倫比亞大學嘅電機工程、醫學工程同神經科學教授。

不過,Shepard並非冇希望。佢同哥倫比亞大學工程學院同史丹福大學Enigma項目嘅研究團隊合作,開發咗一款名為「生物接口系統到大腦皮層」(BISC)嘅腦機接口,可能為患者帶嚟永久嘅自由。

哥倫比亞大學神經外科助理教授Brett Youngerman係呢個臨床合作夥伴,佢話BISC對需要身體功能恢復嘅患者嚟講係一大突破。「有效嘅腦機接口裝置關鍵係最大化同大腦嘅信息流通,同時令植入手術盡量微創。BISC喺呢兩方面都超越咗以往技術。」

BISC同傳統嘅笨重電子盒唔同,佢係薄如紙嘅矽芯片,可以透過微創嘅顱骨切口,直接滑到腦表面嘅硬腦膜下空間。更重要係,BISC冇電線同冇刺入大腦嘅電極,減少咗組織反應同信號衰減。

BISC嘅秘密武器係超導體技術,呢種成熟嘅半導體技術令BISC得以大規模生產。Shepard話:「半導體技術令電腦嘅運算能力由銀行保險庫大小縮細到錢包咁大,我哋而家用同樣技術做醫療植入物,令複雜電子裝置能夠喺人體內存在而幾乎唔佔空間。」

BISC集成咗三種半導體技術喺一塊厚度只有50微米嘅矽片上。佢擁有65,536個電極、1,024個錄音通道同16,384個刺激通道,體積係一般腦植入物嘅千分之一,形狀就似一枚郵票,可以曲線貼合腦部表面。

因為體積細薄,BISC可以經顱骨一個極細嘅開口植入。外部中繼站可以將BISC連接到任何電腦,數據傳輸速度高達100 Mbps,係其他無線腦機接口嘅百倍。

BISC利用人工智能模型,解碼高頻寬錄音,識別身體動作、感官信息、大腦狀態甚至意圖。Shepard表示:「將所有功能整合喺一塊矽片上,我哋證明咗腦機接口可以變得更細、更安全,而且功能更強大。」

New Atlas一直密切報導腦機接口嘅最新發展同機遇,呢個領域迅速擴張,現時包括哥倫比亞同史丹福研究團隊創辦嘅Kampto Neurotech公司。Kampto創辦人兼BISC主要工程師曾南瑜話:「呢種建造BCI裝置嘅方式根本唔同,BISC嘅技術能力遠超競爭對手幾個數量級。」Kampto而家正生產BISC用作研究用途。

BCI唔單止能幫助患者緩解身體同神經障礙,更能帶來對電腦同賽博裝置嘅新型甚至更強控制。Shepard話:「呢個技術有潛力改變我哋治療腦部疾病嘅方法,改變我哋同機器嘅互動,最終改變人類同人工智能嘅關係。」

評論與啟示

呢款BISC植入物代表咗腦機接口技術嘅一大飛躍,唔單止喺技術層面上突破傳統植入物嘅體積限制,更以超導體同半導體技術實現高度集成同無線通訊,令植入手術更微創,減少對患者嘅身體負擔。對於長期受神經系統疾病折磨嘅患者,呢種技術帶來嘅不只係功能恢復,更係一線生機同自由,仿如獲得假釋。

不過,呢啲技術帶嚟嘅倫理問題亦唔容忽視。腦機接口能直接讀取甚至影響大腦活動,如何保障用戶嘅隱私同自主權,防止技術被濫用,係未來必須面對嘅挑戰。此外,技術商業化同普及化亦需時間,如何確保唔會只係少數富裕人士嘅專利,令社會更加分化,亦係值得關注嘅議題。

從更宏觀角度睇,BISC呢種將人腦同人工智能融合嘅技術,正逐步模糊人同機器界線,推動人類進入「賽博格時代」。未來人類可能唔再係單純嘅生物體,而係生物與科技嘅共生體。呢個過程中,科技嘅發展必須與倫理、法律、社會規範同步演進,確保科技造福全人類,而唔係製造新嘅束縛。

總括而言,BISC係一個令人振奮嘅科技突破,展示咗人類利用高科技戰勝生理限制嘅可能性,但同時亦提醒我哋,科技嘅進步必須伴隨深思熟慮嘅社會責任與人文關懷。

A confident me as Supergirl stands full-body in a dramatic pose, hands in trench coat pockets,dark sunglasses. Her iconic blue-and-red suit with the “S” shield is partially revealed beneath a rust-colored cinematic trench coat, suggesting a hidden identity.
High-contrast, dramatic cinematic lighting with strong rim light and deep shadows, volumetric light beams, subtle haze. Filmic color grading, rich contrast, blockbuster trailer mood.A layered, semi-transparent 3D wall of floating social media comments and UI elements, softly glowing and receding in depth, surrounding her like digital echoes of hype. The comments are overwhelmingly positive and excited, featuring user profiles, likes, and hype text (e.g., 'PERFECT casting,' 'SO EXCITED,' 
High-contrast studio lighting ,Strong contrast between the realistic 3D figure and the flat 2D collage. Create a hyper-realistic cinematic scene inside a traditional Wing Chun training hall. The man from the uploaded reference image is training at a wooden dummy with Ip Man standing beside him, personally correcting his technique. Keep both faces accurate to the reference image: exact skin tone, hairstyle, age, expression, and natural sweat on their skin.
Both wear classic black Wing Chun uniforms with white cuffs. Show Ip Man’s calm, focused guidance as he places his hands near the student’s arms on the wooden dummy. Capture the wooden dummy with polished texture and rich warm tones.
Include authentic Chinese decor: calligraphy scrolls, carved wooden frames, soft lantern light, and other students blurred in the background. Use shallow depth of field, warm natural lighting from the windows, and crisp detail on clothing and skin. The scene should feel like a still frame from an Ip Man movie, grounded, disciplined, and cinematic. A hyper-realistic portrait of a man wearing bright yellow neon glasses, his face illuminated with glowing mathematical formulas and physics equations. Warm golden light reflects from his glasses onto his skin. The man has a serious, intelligent expression, short styled hair, and a trimmed beard. His yellow puffer jacket also glows with floating equations and symbols, giving a futuristic holographic effect. Dark teal bokeh lights in the background create depth and contrast.
