Neural interfaces to connect humans and AI – SU Global Summit 2018

Tarin Ziyaee is Director of Algorithms, CTRL-Labs.

Ctrl-labs is developing neural interfaces to connect humans and AI.

Ctrl-labs is create a kit to enable neural control and interface AI

Ctrl-labs Hardware

Robust, multimodal biosensing
Comfortable skin-contact sensors reveal the neural signals underlying fine motor control
Inertial measurements compensate for external forces
Safe, non-invasive, and comfortable
Compact and lightweight
Wireless
Connect to PCs and smartphones over Bluetooth

SDK & API

Hand pose reconstruction
API exposes the position and motions of each finger and joint, ready for 3D applications
No cameras, no line-of-sight problems
Built-in recognition and classification for common gestures
Force and Tension Modeling
Measure pinch and grasp forces
Detect muscle tension, with or without motion
Integration with VR and AR applications
Easy primitives for building Unity apps
Integrates with positioning systems for room-scale VR
Raw EMG Dashboard
View electromyographic waveforms, straight from your neuromotor system
Single Neuron Detection
Analyze spike events from individual motor neurons

Intention Capture Engine

* Powerful Neural Networks
Decode the hidden language of neurons using neuron-inspired technology
Generalized models work across a broad range of users without training

* Adaptive Control
Find the right customized neural control scheme for every interaction, fast.
Easily develop applications that train the user – and are trained by the user – in real time.

Tarin Ziyaee was CTO of Voyage where he developed a full autonomous stack, and deployment of driverless (L3) rides to seniors of a retirement community in San Jose.

  1. Hmm, combine this with lifelike robots and you have Avatars. For the paralyzed, combine with exoskeletons and they can walk again. A surgeon can operate in far more nuanced ways than either direct contact, or current remote controlled surgery…and do so from anywhere.

  3. Hmm, combine this with lifelike robots and you have Avatars.” Actually, in the movie Avatar, those were described as fully organic crossbreeds between human and alien, not robots per se. What you are describing is surrogates, as seen in the movie Surrogate, starring Bruce Willis, or the book it was based on (and a LOT of other Sci Fi). In his book Kiln People, David Brin, describes something similar, but it is kind of in-between the two (the main point being they were independent copies of the person and completely disposable).

  5. The movie Avatar adopted the term, but term itself is broader than the movie portrayal. avatar, noun 1. an incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person or idea. 2. (Computing) an icon or figure representing a particular person in video games, Internet forums, etc. Both meanings fit to some extent.
