The word seemed to have a magical effect, as everyone present had some reaction.
Shen Jingqi noticed Qin Si's eyes flicker for a moment, while the information strip above her head swayed intensely.
Like a signal flickering on a screen.
Zheng Lin's mouth twitched suddenly.
The supreme expression of smiling without joy!
Dean Zhang, on the other hand, looked expectant, the crow's feet around his eyes rippling layer by layer.
It seemed he was genuinely happy!
"Next, we'll be presenting our core research achievement, which is also the key technology of Sensory Paradise's application!"
Zhao Xin'an emphasized with a heightened tone.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the projection.
"I'll first show everyone two keywords!"
Two large entries appeared on the screen.
[Simulating Neural Signals].
[Consciousness Processing].
"As the developer of Sensory Paradise, leading our team, we've spent nearly two years overcoming challenges to finally break through the key technology."
Zhao Xin'an's tone noticeably became more excited.
"Everyone knows that consciousness processing as a technology is quite mature. However, in the field of cognitive neuroscience, achieving the simulation of real neuronal signals has always been a challenge."
"Through various combinations and comparisons, we found the genetic sequence synthesis of neural signals, and finally cultivated the first neural entity in a digital carrier."
"With this neural entity, we've realized body connections, allowing each experiencer to simultaneously enjoy a multi-dimensional sensory experience."
Zhao Xin'an pressed the remote control vigorously.
A huge object appeared on the screen.
Neural Entity Model!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most basic form of the neural entity."
"Once each user connects with the neural entity, it will automatically fit the best form suitable for the user."
At this moment, one end of the neural entity on the screen jumped!
"Synapses!"
"As everyone knows, synapses in the neural entity are the signal-emitting end, usually more active. So, please adapt when applying."
Zhao Xin'an smiled.
"Currently, we've positioned the application of Sensory Paradise in conjunction with the leading field of cognitive neuroscience, including the following."
"First, neurogenesis."
"Neurogenesis technology is a long-cherished wish of cognitive scientists. As far as I know, more than a dozen laboratories and key research institutions worldwide are investing funds and manpower to find a method to guide the growth of neurons. If neurogenesis technology is realized, it can be applied clinically, bringing great news to countless patients with brain injuries or brain region diseases."
"Neurogenesis can repair damaged brain areas and even achieve regeneration!"
"And through the application of Sensory Paradise, there is a certain probability to promote neurogenesis. We will conduct clinical tracking in follow-up studies. If successful, it will be a groundbreaking discovery!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingqi also felt very excited.
The rapid development of technology has indeed brought life-changing opportunities to many.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingqi couldn't help but feel admiration for Zhao Xin'an and other developers.
Pure passion drives the motivation of their careers; even taking a step forward requires immense spiritual belief.
At this moment, looking again at the phrases above Zhao Xin'an's head, they didn't seem abrupt anymore.
"Second, addiction intervention."
"Substance addiction, internet addiction, shopping addiction, etc.—the root cause of these addictions is the multiplied release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain."
"Through Sensory Paradise, we can guide brain zone responses, reforming the status of the hippocampus and amygdala, so patients are no longer enslaved by stimulants."
The phenomenon of addiction is indeed not to be ignored.
Shen Jingqi quickly associated the side effects of addiction—short-term reward systems craving for continuous more stimuli, ultimately letting people become controlled by desires and emotions.
If effective interventions targeting addiction can be achieved, it could help many people.
"Third, intervention in mental illness."
"Research has found that emotions are related to the quantity, connections, growth, and decay of neurons."
A video played on the screen.
In patients with depression, neurons are gradually withering. Whereas in normal life forms, neurons are expanding and connecting.
"Applied clinically, we intervene specifically. For example, enabling patients with depression, anxiety, somatization, OCD, autism ASD, alexithymia, ADHD, and even those on the schizophrenia spectrum to perceive their bodily sensations, enhancing cognitive and reality testing ability, reducing their anxiety, tension, fear, dissociation, and other emotional expressions and behavioral responses."
Dean Zhang nodded frequently.
If Zhao Xin'an's explanation is accurate, this application would provide timely assistance for clinical interventions in hospitals.
"Fourth, neuroplasticity."
"Compared to neurogenesis, neuroplasticity is more reflected in the development level of application."
"The future application of this technology also holds significant prospects."
"Through continuous usage of the Sensory Paradise application, it will shape the brain's capabilities and responses, forming a new individual pattern. This will be the fundamental training, thoroughly overturning previous training mechanisms."
"Sensory Paradise will establish pathways at the neural level and, through usage, reinforce neural pathways to achieve new formation modes."
"For example, if a person wants to play the piano, connections will be established from the brain region's motor cortex to ten fingers, directly sculpting neural pathways to produce notes. Previously, to become a pianist, one needed to continually practice, reinforcing neural reactions related to playing notes to shape neural pathways. Once usage frequency reduced, neural pathways would weaken. That's the well-known principle of use it or lose it."
Zhao Xin'an immediately shook his idle five fingers.
"Of course, experiencing sensory extremes through the application is the most basic functional module."
"Through the application, each individual can achieve lifelong shaping, unrestricted by age and development stages, thus breaking life's limitations to a certain extent. Moreover, one can fully experience the rich world of sensations."
"This portion of the application can be marketed to meet individual usage needs."
Prolonged applause filled the conference room.
"During subsequent testing and official use of Sensory Paradise, we'll collect vast amounts of data for large-sample tracking studies. We need to work with all of you!"
After Zhao Xin'an sat down, Zheng Lin took over the remote control.
On the flashing screen was an illustration of a person connected to the application.
"This is the symbol of neural signal connection."
"Next, I will introduce the usage part of Sensory Paradise."
