B
A company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual,
but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.
The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his
brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain
that control movements of the arms and hands.
Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it,
which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about
the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.
Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were
actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help
them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.
The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the
joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video
game.
At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer
connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.
Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements
to interact with the world around them.
4. What are “Link” devices used to do?
A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.
B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.
C. To send out information about the brain's signals.
D. To control movements of the arms and hands.
