Artificial Intelligence Mechanized System for Head Transplants

TapTechNews, on May 23, it was reported that the neuroscience and biomedical startup BrainBridge announced on the 21st local time that the company has developed an artificial intelligence mechanized system for performing head transplants and demonstrated its working mechanism.

According to the introduction, this concept can transplant the head onto the body of a brain-dead donor and can also maintain the memory, cognitive ability and consciousness of the transplant recipient. (TapTechNews note: The body part comes from a brain-dead patient, and the head is from a patient with a terminal illness or paralysis, etc.)

Researchers said that this technology is also applicable to patients with neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The company said that this concept is technically feasible. Using a high-speed robot system can prevent the degradation of brain cells and ensure seamless compatibility between the head and the body. The whole process is guided by real-time molecular-level imaging and artificial intelligence algorithms to promote the precise reconnection of the spinal cord, nerves and blood vessels. But currently, this concept faces major challenges such as the inability to completely repair nerve and spinal cord injuries, and there are huge technical difficulties and ethical controversies.

BrainBridge said that the first case is aimed to be completed within eight years, and the reason for announcing this concept in advance is to better attract top scientists to participate. In the short term, we hope that this project can make breakthroughs in spinal cord reconstruction and whole body transplantation, but in the long run, this project will expand to the field of healthcare that can change what we know.
