human mind control of rat Cyborg s continuous locomotion with wireless brain to brain interface
Scientific Reports, 2019Co-Authors: Shaomin Zhang, Xiaoxiang Zheng, Sheng Yuan, Lipeng Huang, Gang PanAbstract:Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) provide a promising information channel between the biological brain and external devices and are applied in building brain-to-device control. Prior studies have explored the feasibility of establishing a brain-brain interface (BBI) across various brains via the combination of BMIs. However, using BBI to realize the efficient multidegree control of a living creature, such as a rat, to complete a navigation task in a complex environment has yet to be shown. In this study, we developed a BBI from the human brain to a rat implanted with microelectrodes (i.e., rat Cyborg), which integrated electroencephalogram-based motor imagery and brain stimulation to realize human mind control of the rat’s continuous locomotion. Control instructions were transferred from continuous motor imagery decoding results with the proposed control models and were wirelessly sent to the rat Cyborg through brain micro-electrical stimulation. The results showed that rat Cyborgs could be smoothly and successfully navigated by the human mind to complete a navigation task in a complex maze. Our experiments indicated that the cooperation through transmitting multidimensional information between two brains by computer-assisted BBI is promising.

Cyborg intelligence recent progress and future directions
IEEE Intelligent Systems, 2016Co-Authors: Yongdi Zhou, Nenggan Zheng, Xiaoxiang Zheng, Zhongzhi Shi, Changshui Zhang, Gang PanAbstract:The combination of biological and artificial intelligence is a promising methodology to construct a novel intelligent modality, proposed as Cyborg intelligence. The hierarchical conceptual framework is based on the interaction and combination of comparable components of biological cognitive units and computing intelligent units. The authors extend the previous conceptual framework and focus on sensorimotor circuits to explore the representation and integration of sensation. They then present a cognitive computing model for brain-computer integration and design efficient machine-learning algorithms for neural signal decoding. They also propose biological reconstruction methods for sensorimotor circuits to not only restore but enhance functionalities with AI. They develop a series of demonstrating systems to validate the conceptual framework of Cyborg intelligence and possibly herald bright prospects and high values in diversified aspects of theoretical research, engineering techniques, and clinical applications. Finally, the authors summarize the latest research trends and challenges, which they believe will further boost new scientific frontiers in Cyborg intelligence.

automatic training of rat Cyborgs for navigation
Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience, 2016Co-Authors: Yipeng Yu, Yongyue Gong, Nenggan Zheng, Kedi Xu, Zhaohui Wu, Xiaoxiang ZhengAbstract:A rat Cyborg system refers to a biological rat implanted with microelectrodes in its brain, via which the outer electrical stimuli can be delivered into the brain in vivo to control its behaviors. Rat Cyborgs have various applications in emergency, such as search and rescue in disasters. Prior to a rat Cyborg becoming controllable, a lot of effort is required to train it to adapt to the electrical stimuli. In this paper, we build a vision-based automatic training system for rat Cyborgs to replace the time-consuming manual training procedure. A hierarchical framework is proposed to facilitate the colearning between rats and machines. In the framework, the behavioral states of a rat Cyborg are visually sensed by a camera, a parameterized state machine is employed to model the training action transitions triggered by rat’s behavioral states, and an adaptive adjustment policy is developed to adaptively adjust the stimulation intensity. The experimental results of three rat Cyborgs prove the effectiveness of our system. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to tackle automatic training of animal Cyborgs.

intelligence augmented rat Cyborgs in maze solving
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Yipeng Yu, Yongyue Gong, Nenggan Zheng, Kedi Xu, Xiaoxiang Zheng, Zhaohui WuAbstract:Cyborg intelligence is an emerging kind of intelligence paradigm. It aims to deeply integrate machine intelligence with biological intelligence by connecting machines and living beings via neural interfaces, enhancing strength by combining the biological cognition capability with the machine computational capability. Cyborg intelligence is considered to be a new way to augment living beings with machine intelligence. In this paper, we build rat Cyborgs to demonstrate how they can expedite the maze escape task with integration of machine intelligence. We compare the performance of maze solving by computer, by individual rats, and by computer-aided rats (i.e. rat Cyborgs). They were asked to find their way from a constant entrance to a constant exit in fourteen diverse mazes. Performance of maze solving was measured by steps, coverage rates, and time spent. The experimental results with six rats and their intelligence-augmented rat Cyborgs show that rat Cyborgs have the best performance in escaping from mazes. These results provide a proof-of-principle demonstration for Cyborg intelligence. In addition, our novel Cyborg intelligent system (rat Cyborg) has great potential in various applications, such as search and rescue in complex terrains.

Ser Cyborg: subjetividades híbridas en el capitalismo cognitivo : Potencialidades y límites
2020Co-Authors: Frachea, María TamaraAbstract:Cada momento histórico se caracteriza por el alcance y desarrollo de sus medios de producción y a su vez permite la conformación de un tipo de subjetividad delimitada por el estadio de desarrollo de la sociedad en el cual se encuentra inserta. La actualización del capitalismo en su versión cognitiva se hace eco del alcance que tuvo el desarrollo de las nuevas formas de comunicaciones e información devenidas a partir de la revolución tecnológica de fines del siglo XX. Así, mientras las tecnologías digitales, la información digital e internet forman parte del entorno social en el que estamos insertos en la actualidad, cabe preguntarse cómo son aplicadas por los dispositivos de control y cuáles son las posibilidades que nos ofrecen. El presente trabajo entrega una reflexión acerca del ser Cyborg, un tipo de subjetividad que deviene en la aleación mente-software que se hace posible en la relación con los dispositivos que permiten el acceso a la información digitalizada. Así como las tecnologías digitales permitieron afinar las técnicas de control del biopoder, es la figura del Cyborg la que nos permite reflexionar acerca de nuevas formas de resistencia en la presente etapa del capitalismo cognitivo.Each historical moment is characterized by the scope and development of its means of production and in turn allows the formation of a type of subjectivity delimited by the stage of development of the society in which it is inserted. The updating of capitalism in its cognitive version echoes the scope of the development of the new forms of communications and information since the technological revolution of the late twentieth century. Thus, while new technologies, digital information and the internet are part of the social environment in which we are inplace today, one wonders how they are applied by control devices and what are the possibilities they offer us. This work provides a reflection on being a Cyborg, a type of subjectivity that becomes in the mind-software alloy that becomes possible in the relationship with devices that allow access to digitized information. Just as new technologies allowed us to fine-tune biopower control techniques, it is the figure of the Cyborg that allows us to reflect on new forms of resistance in the present stage of cognitive capitalism.Cada momento histórico caracteriza-se pela abrangência e desenvolvimento de seus meios de produção e, por sua vez, permite a formação de um tipo de subjetividade delimitado pela etapa de desenvolvimento da sociedade em que está inserida.
