Next, I will show you our relevant research results. Some animal experiments will be mentioned. Here I want to make a simple explanation first, that is, all our experiments are conducted in accordance with strict procedures, and all animals used for experiments also come from legal channels.
The use of animals for experiments may seem cruel and inhumane, but it is a common method used by the medical industry around the world and is driving great progress in current medical technology.
“We conducted the first trial of artificial vision technology on rabbits, where we tested the artificial eye device we developed on a blind rabbit.
A special electromagnetic and electrode generating device is made into a special headgear, which is then put on the rabbit. A small 'artificial eye' is also installed and connected to the headgear, which is actually a special camera. The test begins immediately.
As we all know, rabbits themselves are timid, especially the rabbit tested, which is blind and frightened to a certain extent, so it will be impatient and want to find a place to hide itself.
So, we arranged a cave for it to hide in the test site. If there is no vision in this cave, the rabbit is basically impossible to find.
Please see, at the beginning of the test, the rabbit started to panic. But after activating the artificial vision system, the rabbit seemed to suddenly find its direction and ran directly to the hole. The goal was very clear. This shows that after the rabbit saw the cave, he immediately ran towards the cave there.
In order to demonstrate the fairness and reliability of the test, we then conducted multiple tests. We placed the holes everywhere in the experimental area, even on steps at a certain distance from the ground.
It is basically difficult for a blind rabbit to find this cave. In the next few tests, we can see that the rabbits found the hole very quickly and got into it.
Of course, this was not enough, so we immediately changed the rabbit and re-tested, and got almost the same results.
We even saw that after their vision was restored, these rabbits were no longer panicked and even ate fruits and vegetables leisurely. "
Hahahaha... everyone in the audience smiled knowingly, and then applauded.
Wu Hao smiled and waited for the applause to fall before continuing to preach.
"These alone were not enough. The rabbits were too small and we needed to change the experimental target, so we set the target on domestic pigs.
In our traditional culture, pigs are a symbol of eating, laziness, and stupidity. When we call someone stupid, we say, why are you as stupid as a pig?
But in fact, pigs are actually very smart. Among the most intelligent animals in the world, pigs are among the top few. If you are interested in this ranking, you can check [Note 1].
Pig brains are also very developed, even smarter than the brains of pet dogs, which we think are the smartest and most understanding of us humans.
And to a certain extent, the brain structure of pigs is actually very detailed with our brain structure, so we conducted tests on pigs.
The test results are also very gratifying. Blind pigs were fitted with electromagnetic electrode array headgear and artificial eyes on their heads.
We can see that the pig regained its vision and was able to successfully find some food and find a gap in the fence.
This is not an accidental result. We have conducted such tests many times and will continue to do so for a long time.
On the one hand, we need to truly verify that these animals can really regain their visual ability and see things after wearing our artificial vision system.
On the other hand, we also hope to test whether this artificial vision system has an impact on the brains of these animals when worn for a long time.
Please see, this is a comparison chart of the EEG, CT, and related anatomy data of these animals before the test, one day, one week, one month, three months, and half a year after the test.
After comparison of relevant systems, we can see that no obvious changes were found in the comparison of relevant data of these animals before the test and half a year after the test. In other words, this long-term use will not have any adverse effects on the brains of these animals.
Of course, this is just our preliminary test in the laboratory. Next, we will continue to conduct relevant testing work and upgrade it in depth to fully verify the reliability and security of this technology.
Next, we will start relevant testing on primates and macaques. As we all know, we humans are also primates, so this test will further verify the reliability and safety of this technology.
Only after fully confirming its safety, we will launch on-site experiments and recruit relevant volunteers for testing. "
Speaking of this, Wu Hao showed a trace of regret and said: "I know that everyone, like me, urgently hopes that this technology can be applied to us as soon as possible to help those blind patients regain their sight.
In fact, we also hope to speed up, and our research and development speed can be said to be very fast. If it were replaced by other companies and research teams, it would probably take five or ten years.
Although we have accelerated research and development, the necessary time and necessary procedures are necessary.
This is also for the personal health and safety of our patients and for their responsibility. I hope everyone can understand.
In addition, regarding the testing of medical technology products on animals, this is a very helpless but necessary process for us.
I'm sorry that we sacrificed many small animals in order for this technology to be successfully developed.
But like I said, all the drugs and technologies in medicine now, including the training of our doctors, are based on the selfless dedication of these little animals.
This is cruel, but who makes us the masters of all things?
During the rehearsal, many people persuaded me not to tell this paragraph. Although these are facts, they are the facts we are least willing to accept.
What Wu Hao said from my mouth would cause some criticism or even a bad influence. But in my opinion, this is related to the health and life of each of us, and there is nothing to avoid.
It is foreseeable that after what I said, there will definitely be some accusations and attacks from the biological mother.
But, I also ask you to think carefully before attacking. Have you really not enjoyed these results? "
[Note 1: Pigs are indeed ranked among the smartest animals in the world. The specific rankings are different in various lists, but they are definitely in the top few. 】
