I with the help of my father would open
up home appliances just to look inside
and see how they looked like for me
programming is like a superpower I could
create anything I want I could make a
machine do whatever I feel like I
believe technology can impact life and
technology is a story about us and how
we change their lives from making the
wheel to modern day computers I begin
coding from a very young age by age 8 I
was fluent in nearly three programming
languages during which I built an
application that will help me improve my
English test course I built an
application there improve my English
vocabulary and boy it was worth it I go
a lot I score a lot poor on my next
English examination a couple of years
later I was introduced to the wonderful
world of machine learning and I built in
an application that would interact with
me a companion
I called his saucy and I said to myself
wow this thing can make your heart sing
for me programming is very different
when I was in tenth grade I came across
an incident I came across an accident of
a visually impaired person and this
motivated me to do something for the
visually impaired people so I built an
application that will help guide the
visually impaired the device consists of
a camera and a year phone and an tiny
computer the camera scan the environment
and look for impending dangers like
potholes railway crossings or zebra
crossing or an or and even also look for
known people and relay this information
directly to the user using natural
language in the end I change the way the
visually impaired interact with the
surrounding
I believe programming is something that
can change the way we live our lives
when I was young a lot of people
complained about programming a lot of
people believe programming is very
difficult and complex this mystified me
so I authored a book a C++ book they
follow an unconventional method of
teaching the book itself is made as a
conversation between an author and a
reader how cool is that
this book is used by several students
and professors alike out of all my
artificial intelligence projects I have
developed a project they have been
working on for a very very long time a
project that has a potential to
completely change the way we interact
with our surroundings I call it the
neural connect to begin I would like the
old to think about the word interaction
what comes to your mind when I say the
word interaction for me two questions
pop up in my mind why do we interact and
second how do we interact since the dawn
of time we have found creative ways to
change the way we interact with each
other and with machines we have invented
the keyboard the mouse the email the
text messaging to interact with each
other and with machines now I will like
you all take a moment and imagine a
world where there are no keyboards no
touchscreen no mice instead of which you
use on your mind
to control things sit around the lights
this technology could completely change
the way we interact with each other most
of you are familiar with this
century-old technology called the
electroencephalogram or EEG
you bring contains billions of neurons
and though they’re billions in number
decreed only a faint electrical signal
on your scalp these every signal form
patterns called brain waves a custom
design EEG headset could be used to pick
up this article activity and sent to a
machine where it is analyzed and
processed by several deep learning
algorithms that are built and based on
this brainwave data and output could be
determind for example I could turn off
lights in the bedroom before I go to
sleep without actually flicking the
switch I could just lie down on the bed
take a deep breath close my eyes imagine
the lights turning off and it would
happen in reality
just like magic to illustrate this more
I have an activity for you I would like
to I would like you all to solve a
problem
what is 70 times 35 the answer is 24
five zero by the way when you are
solving this problem your brainwaves
will look something similar to this your
beta waves would have increased
substantially when we when ever you’re
solving a task you emit a certain
brainwave depending upon the task itself
a neural net can be trained to predict
this predict in action based on this
brainwave data for example I could I
could relay my thoughts to a computer
without actually typing the device would
look something like this it’s it’s a
custom 3d printed headset it contains an
electrode that will be placed on a
forehead and and the information
brainwave information would be sent to a
computer or a Raspberry Pi in this case
to be processed and analyzed and the
output could be determined so what can
you do with this technology other than
of course turning off lights calling a
friend or texting a colleague there are
infinite possibilities but I think this
innovation would impact the lives of
several
especially the ones who are disabled for
example professor Stephen Hawking a
brilliant scientist couldn’t communicate
effectively
he suffered from disease called motor
neuron disease so he used a muscle only
on his cheek a single muscle to select
text from a computer screen and relay
that information directly to the Y
synthesizer which would be processed and
and his thoughts will be spoken out but
we don’t need a technology anymore this
technology can seamlessly state what
professor Hawking thought I will also
speak for propeller professor Hawking as
well I believe we are very close to
decreasing the gap between humans and
machines I believe everyone is very used
as technology in the near future and
everyone are gonna control things with
only using the mind and now the big
picture I would like to show you a
demonstration of this innovation as you
can see the headset fits comfortably on
the head the headset is Wireless of
course to make it portable and
comfortable and I’m gonna show you a
mind automated text message he is gonna
control the text with Wally’s mind are
I received it any one of the audience
member can come to verify the text can
you verify the time 346 p.m. okay click
on the text what does it say yeah it
says welcome to the future the new
mechanics thank you [Applause]
