Building 11, Zhongguancun Software Park, Haidian District, Beijing, Tang Zaixi, founder of Beijing Huanao Technology Development Co., Ltd., wears a yellow safety helmet. On the computer screen next to him, fatigue, concentration, head posture, etc. are displayed in real time. kind of data. "We have developed an intelligent safety monitoring system and built brain-computer interface technology into the helmet. This system can not only protect the safety of workers, but also provide data support for reasonable allocation of work." Tang Zaixi said.
In Beijing, the rapid development of the brain-computer interface industry is making more and more dreams come true.
brain-computer interface is a cutting-edge technology integrating neuroscience, electronic technology, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and materials science. In recent years, Beijing has made great efforts to improve the brain-computer interface industry ecology and accelerate the formation of new productive forces.
"Beijing has obvious advantages in scientific research and innovation resources. It has a solid foundation and early layout in the development of the brain-computer interface industry." Tong Haiwei, chief engineer of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology, said that at present, Beijing's scientific research institutions and universities that have applied for patents in the field of brain-computer interface have reached There are more than 100 companies, and the number of innovation entities holding more than 1,000 patents related to brain-computer interfaces ranks among the top in the country.
At the beginning of this year, the "Intelligent Brain-Computer System Enhancement Plan" was launched at the Beijing Institute of Brain Science and Brain Artifacts in Changping District, with the goal of integrating Beijing's areas of expertise in neuroscience, information science, integrated circuit science, materials science, and clinical medicine. Taking advantage of the advantages, we strive to break through the key technologies in invasive brain-computer interfaces within 3 to 5 years, launch the "Beinao-1" and "Beinao-2" brain-computer systems, and achieve preliminary clinical applications.
"Learning from successful international experience, we innovatively implemented the 'fund + enterprise' organizational model and established Beijing Beinao Venture Capital Fund (Limited Partnership) and Beijing Xinzhida Neurotechnology Co., Ltd." Beijing Brain Science and Brain-inspired Luo Minmin, co-director of the institute, said that at present, Xinzhida Company is cooperating with universities and institutions such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and has laid out projects to develop high-throughput flexible microwire electrodes, thousand-channel electrophysiological acquisition systems and other devices. As well as more than 10 innovative projects such as the construction of motor and language neural decoding algorithms, various research and development work has made phased progress.
accelerates the creation of new momentum and new advantages, and Beijing is fully committed to the brain-computer interface industry. In the upstream of the industrial chain, the implantable chip sample has been successfully taped out, and the first-generation product has been successfully mass-produced; in the midstream, the technical indicators of portable brain activity sensing equipment have reached the internationally advanced level, and a high-throughput technology system for microscopic brain mapping has been established; downstream , solutions for different scenarios are applied in the field of industrial safety monitoring, neurological disease diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, assisted living, etc.
"Revolving around the development of the brain-computer interface industry, we will work with relevant departments to deeply promote the cross-integration development of new materials, new manufacturing technologies, neuroscience, etc., focus on multi-modal brain signals, brain-computer interaction intelligent control equipment and other fields, and accelerate key core technologies and equipment research, and promote the construction of benchmark scenarios such as medical rehabilitation, industrial safety, and education." said the person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology.
In September this year, the "Beijing Implementation Plan for Promoting Future Industrial Innovation and Development" was issued, and brain science and brain-computer interface are one of the 20 subdivided industries. The plan proposes that by 2035, a group of innovative entities with international influence and voice will be gathered to form a number of world-leading future industrial clusters.
