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."

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.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low. The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away. When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material.
