"Are you interested in brain-computer interface technology?"
Office of the Dean of the Institute of Software Engineering.
Upon hearing Hao Yun's question, Dean Li Guoping stopped what he was doing, and an expression of interest appeared on his face. After looking up and down at the student standing in front of the desk, he spoke in an incredible tone.
"I didn't expect you to be so interested in academic things... I thought you had made a lot of money now and weren't interested in these things anymore."
After hearing this joke, Hao Yun coughed dryly and said.
"How could it be? Compared to making money, these things are more challenging."
"What you said, I don't know if you are flattering me or showing off," Dean Li Guoping scolded with a smile. After a pause, he continued in a serious tone, "At present, brain-computer interface technology It’s still in the PPT stage. If you are interested in the commercial application prospects of this technology, I can only tell you that it is still too early.”
Hao Yun asked.
"But I heard that there seems to be new progress in research in this area recently?"
Dean Li Guoping said with a faint smile.
"It seems that you did some homework before coming here."
Looking at Hao Yun who smiled sheepishly, he nodded and continued.
"Yes, there are indeed rumors in this regard in the academic world recently. When the Institute of Neuroscience of Xia Ke Academy and the Institute of Brain Science of IDG of the Academy of Human Resources and Social Sciences were studying 'neuron-like materials', they discovered a special kind of carbon nanoparticles. Materials that can promote the full growth of neurons and the formation of new synapses."
"The relevant paper was probably published in an authoritative international journal in July last year. Initially, this technology was widely regarded by the academic community as the best solution for 'neural prostheses' and 'damaged nerve repair', but then a Reports on the field of brain nerves have made domestic electronics industry giants who are researching brain-computer interface technology interested in this technology."
“So during this period, you can see many academic conferences and seminars discussing this topic. On the one hand, the prospects behind this research are broad, and on the other hand, there are many wealthy people who are willing to pay for these related studies. . After all, research also requires money. No matter how relevant it is, you can get investment for your project by making a few PPTs. Such opportunities are rare in ordinary times."
After listening to Dean Li Guoping's words, Hao Yun nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask.
"That is to say... you are not optimistic about this technology?"
"I'm not dissatisfied, I just feel that the time has not come yet," Dean Li Guoping sighed and continued, "If you are asking about the prospects of commercialization, I can tell you clearly that it will not be possible in ten or twenty years. Seeing results.”
"But if you ask me about the research prospects in this direction from the perspective of a student, my view is quite optimistic. At least in the next ten years, this is likely to be a popular research direction."
"Our Jiangcheng University Software Engineering Institute's research in the field of neural networks is among the best in Xia and even the world. No matter which technical route the brain-computer interface adopts in the end, we still have to build the entire neural network in the end."
Hao Yun nodded and continued thoughtfully.
"If I want to know about the research progress in this area... Do you have any good suggestions? For example, which professor's research should I follow, or which journal should I follow?"
"Haha, it's okay to follow which professor's research. Even if I tell you, do you understand? Okay, these things are too early for you! You'd better solidify your undergraduate knowledge first!" Dean Li Guoping laughed and continued, "But if you are really interested, I have a suggestion."
Hao Yun smiled sheepishly at Dean Li's teasing, but continued to ask.
"What advice?"
"In exactly three days, our school will have a seminar on brain-computer interface technology. The level of the meeting is not low. It will be held in the auditorium of the main campus. I can help you get an invitation letter by then. If you are interested in this aspect, If you are interested in the research, just go in and listen more and ask more questions. I am not an expert in this field and can't help you much, but many professors in this seminar are top experts in this field. You can talk to them more.”
After hearing these words, Hao Yun showed an expression of joy on his face and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Dean Li Guoping waved his hand and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, this little thing doesn't matter!"
Although he said he didn't care, from the expression on the old professor's face, Hao Yun could clearly feel that he was very satisfied with his "teacher".
After thanking Dean Li, Hao Yun left the office happily.
Just when he was about to go back to his dormitory, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
I took out my phone and took a look. The caller was my senior.
After pressing the connect button, Hao Yun put the phone to his ear.
"Hello?"
"You've gone back to school?"
"You've been back a long time ago... Do you have a cold?"
I don't know if it was his imagination, but I always felt that the voice on the other end of the phone was a bit nasal.
"Cold? No... I just arrived at school and haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to come with me?"
"Okay, I haven't eaten either, so see you at the school gate?"
"Yeah! Wait for me!"
After hanging up the phone, Hao Yun went to the school gate.
Originally he thought he would have to wait for a while, but when he arrived, his senior sister was already waiting for him at the school gate.
It was February, and the weather in Jiangcheng was still very cold.
She was wearing a khaki coat and a cute knitted hat on her head. Her chin was buried in a beige scarf, revealing only her pretty nose and a pair of watery eyes.
Breathing the white mist into her hands and looking around on tiptoes, she instantly spotted Hao Yun who had just walked to the school gate. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she straightened her right hand and waved to signal that he was here.
Smiling and walking forward, Hao Yun was about to say hello, but he noticed something strange on her face and couldn't help but asked after being slightly stunned.
"What's wrong with you?"
Although there was some light makeup on his face, he could still clearly see the dark circles under his eyes and a hint of redness in his eyes.
"Huh? Is it obvious?"
Looking at the senior student who hurriedly took out a small mirror from his bag, Hao Yun thought that if he told the truth, the dinner would have to be postponed until a few hours later, so he comforted her with a white lie.
"Actually... it's not that obvious. You can't tell it unless you walk in. What's wrong with you? Could it be that you had a conflict with your family?"
"How is that possible?" Lin Mengmeng chuckled as he put away the mirror and glanced at him resentfully, "Humph, you have the nerve to ask this, it's not your fault."
"Blame it, blame me?" Hao Yun was confused.
This is really a person in the library, and the pot comes from the sky.
He has been thinking about the brain-computer interface these days. There is no reason to offend this aunt
Seeing Hao Yun's confused look, Lin Mengmeng curled his mouth in relief and whispered.
"It's that game you made... I played with Jiaojiao all night yesterday. To be precise, I saw her playing. Anyway, the ending really made Jiaojiao cry miserably. I comforted her for a long time in the morning, and then Put her to sleep."
Although this wasn't the first time he heard someone ended up spitting a mark against him, he didn't expect that his senior sister, who had never played PC games, would be so immersed in the game, even playing it all night.
"You fought all night? So now you-"
"It's okay, I already slept this morning."
After beating him up, Lin Mengmeng continued with a look of helplessness.
"It's just that if this routine is messed up, I have to adjust for a few days."
As she said that, she suddenly changed the subject, and stretched out her hand to pull Hao Yun's sleeve with a smile.
"Come on, let's stop standing at the school gate. I'm starving to death! I heard from my roommate that there's a very nice hot pot restaurant opened near our school. I'm going to treat you today!"
The school gate is indeed not a place for small talk.
Firstly, there is a lot of traffic here, and secondly, the two of them are considered semi-public figures in the school.
Hao Yun didn't mind what others said about him, but if any gossip spread, it wouldn't be good for girls after all, so he nodded and said with a smile.
"That's okay."
"It's rare that you are so generous, so I won't compete with you for orders."
Lin Mengmeng punched Hao Yun's arm with his small fist and said in protest.
"What does it mean to be rare! Am I not usually generous?"
Hao Yun smiled and said teasingly without arguing with her.
"You're generous and generous, you've always been generous. How about I come to you every night from now on?"
It was originally just a joke between friends, but what he didn't expect was that the senior sister's cheeks suddenly turned red for no reason and her expression became coy after hearing this.
"Are you serious?"
That voice was obviously not joking.
The February wind continues to blow.
However, Hao Yun, standing in the wind, didn't know how to answer...
