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.

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...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper? The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown. But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull. The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
