WiMi Developed a Motor Imagery Brain-computer Interface Based on Multi-source Signal Processing

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that a motor imagery brain-computer interface (MI-BCI) based on multi-source signal processing has been developed.

WiMi’s MI-BCI development aims to overcome the challenges of traditional BCI systems, which include signal noise, poor classification accuracy, and other issues. By introducing a multi-source signal processing approach, this innovative technology enables more accurate brain signal parsing and processing, providing users with higher control accuracy and wider application potential. This technology is expected to lead to the next important milestone in the field of BCI. Its main features and key technology points:

Multi-source signal processing: The technology employs an advanced multi-source signal processing method that utilizes multiple sources of EEG signals, not just channel signals. This means it can capture and interpret brain activity more accurately, which improves the performance of the system.

Common spatial patterns (CSP): In the early stages of signal processing, CSP algorithms are applied to each sub-band to optimize the extraction of signal features. CSP is widely used in the field of BCI and helps to maximize the differentiation of different types of brain signals.

Blind source separation (BSS): The BSS is used to identify and separate unknown and independent sources in a mixed signal. This step helps to eliminate noise and artifacts and improves the reliability of the system.

ICA-based channel identification: This technology uses an algorithm based on independent component analysis (ICA) to identify and eliminate defective signal channels to reduce the impact of inefficient input signals on system performance.

Bayesian discriminant and linear discriminator based analysis (LDA) clustering algorithms: These advanced classification algorithms are used to improve the classification performance of the system, especially when dealing with human error in subjects. They help to improve the system’s ability to recognize and classify different brain signals.

WiMi brings unprecedented accuracy and stability to BCI systems. This technology will provide users with a wider range of control and interaction capabilities, which is potentially important not only for the medical field, but also opens up new possibilities in areas such as virtual reality, gaming, and smart homes. For example, people with disabilities could more easily control electronic devices, gamers could realize a more intuitive gaming experience, and researchers could study brain activity in greater depth. This technology will advance the field of brain-computer interfaces and bring great potential to a variety of application areas.

The implementation approach and system framework of WiMi’s MI-BCI based on multi-source signal processing requires in-depth technical knowledge and engineering design. Technology realization approach:

Signal acquisition: The first task is to acquire EEG signals. This can be accomplished with an electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode array, usually placed on the scalp. However, a multi-source signal processing approach will consider multiple signal sources, including EEG, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), etc., to capture brain activity information more comprehensively.

Signal preprocessing: Acquired signals often contain noise and interference and require preprocessing to clean up the data. This includes steps such as filtering, noise removal, and time/frequency domain transformations to ensure the quality of the input data.

Multi-source signal integration: Integrating signals from different sources into a unified data representation. This can be achieved by aligning and normalizing data from different signal sources for subsequent processing.

CSP: A CSP algorithm is applied to further enhance the characterization of brain signals. CSP is a supervised learning algorithm designed to maximize the distinction between brain signals with different motor imagery, thereby improving classification accuracy. CSP can be applied to every signal source.

BSS: The BSS technique is used to identify and separate unknown and independent sources in a mixed signal. This step helps to eliminate noise and artifacts, further improving the quality of the signal.

Feature extraction and selection: Features related to the motion imagery are extracted from the multi-source signals. This may include frequency domain features, time domain features, etc. Feature selection algorithms can also be used to reduce computational complexity and improve classification performance.

Classifier training and testing: A classifier is trained using a training dataset, e.g., support vector machines (SVMs), deep learning models, etc. The trained classifier can be used to map brain signals to specific motor imagery or actions.

Real-time feedback or applications: The final system could provide real-time feedback, connecting the user’s brain signals to external devices or applications. This could include controlling a smart wheelchair, movement in a virtual reality environment, game control, etc.

The system of this MI-BCI based on multi-source signal processing can be divided into the following key modules:

Signal acquisition: This is used to acquire EEG signals from different sources and ensure high quality data acquisition.

Signal preprocessing: This is used for noise removal, filtering, and data cleanup to be ready for the next step in processing.

Multi-source signal integration: Data from different signal sources are integrated into a consistent data representation.

Feature extraction and selection: This module is responsible for extracting and selecting the most relevant features from the integrated multi-source signal.

Classifier: The classifier module is used to train and test machine learning classifiers that map brain signals to specific motor imagery or actions.

Real-Time Feedback Module: The system can use the classification results for real-time feedback to connect the user’s brain signals to external devices or applications, realizing the goal of brain-computer interfaces.

The successful operation of the entire system relies on highly sophisticated signal processing and machine learning to ensure high accuracy and real-time performance. At the same time, the system needs to consider user-friendliness and safety to meet the needs of different application scenarios. WiMi’s MI-BCI based on multi-source signal processing has a wide range of market value and application space in the fields of healthcare and rehabilitation, virtual reality, entertainment field, scientific research, and intelligent assistive devices.

In healthcare, this technology can help patients who have lost limb function to rebuild their motor ability and improve their quality of life. It can be used in rehabilitation to help paralyzed patients with limb movement. BCI can be used to treat Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, strokes and other neurological disorders by stimulating or modulating brain activity to improve symptoms.

The technology can also enhance the interactivity and immersion of virtual reality games, enabling players to control characters and actions in the game world with their brains. And, it can be used to develop smart games that adjust their difficulty based on the player’s brain activity, providing a more challenging and personalized gaming experience. In the field of smart assistive devices, BCI can provide a new means of communication for those who are unable to use conventional communication devices due to disability or illness. In addition, BCI can be used to control smart home devices that enable people with disabilities to live autonomously, such as controlling lights, TVs, and motorized curtains.

WiMi’s MI-BCI based on multi-source signal processing represents a major breakthrough in BCI which is expected to improve the quality of life of users, provide more autonomy and convenience, and also promote the development of BCI to open up a new future. The implementation and application of this technology will change the way we live and work.

RapidKL’s My50 & MyCity Passes Now Available for Purchase Online!

Leave a comment

RapidKL is finally launching and selling its My50 and MyCity passes making it easier for users to purchase the pass instantly without going through the hassle. The passes can be purchased through The MyRapid Pulse app, which is available on the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, and the Huawei AppGallery. It is also available for purchase through the online MyRapid Shop. With this system in place, it allows commuters to buy these passes online instead of at customer service counters in RapidKL train stations and bus hubs.

However, like many of its other “advancements”, the transition to an online system seems like two steps forward and a step back. As mentioned in its own FAQs, while the passes are being sold online, they will not be able to be activated on the MyKad or Touch ‘n Go card after the purchase. Instead, users must activate the pass at customer service counters at public transport stations like KL Sentral.

There is, however, a good reason why users must activate it at customer service counters. As of current My50 and MyCity passes are only available to Malaysians. That said, it doesn’t look like RapidKL has implemented a KYC (Know Your Client) protocol in place. Hence, proving nationality through the Pulse app or MyRapid Shop will be difficult. According to them, this is also due to the Touch n’ Go system that needs the passes to be physically activated.

That said, the new implementation is a step forward. However, it would be a big benefit to users if these passes are available via platforms like ewallets, Samsung Wallet, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Users will then be able to simply tap in or out with their cellphones. It is worth noting though, that, recently, Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that RapidKL’s parent firm, Prasarana, is working on an open payment system for 2024. We’ll have to wait and see if the process changes when that is launched.

CIIE leads global development to new, bright prospects

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Nov. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A report from People’s Daily: The sixth China International Import Expo (CIIE) will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) from Nov. 5 to 10.

The CIIE, a pioneering event in the history of international trade development, has become a showcase of China’s new development pattern, a platform for high-level opening-up, and a public good shared by the whole world.

This year’s CIIE fully resumes offline activities, and is expected to welcome guests from 154 countries, regions, and international organizations. So far, 69 countries and three international organizations have confirmed their participation in the Country Exhibition. Over 3,400 exhibitors and nearly 410,000 professional visitors have registered for the event, with a record number of Global Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders in attendance.

Since the first CIIE, many participating companies have expressed similar sentiments, speaking of the tremendous appeal of the event. Some said they would bring their best and latest products to the event, and some promised to introduce their countries’ specialties. For them, the CIIE brings not just orders, but also the future and hopes.

The achievements of the past five editions of the CIIE have been remarkable: 131 countries and international organizations participated in the Country Exhibition; over 15,000 exhibitors joined the Business Exhibition; the cumulative number of registered visitors exceeded 2 million; the cumulative intended turnover amounted to $350 billion.

The CIIE not only attracts multinational companies, but also gathers upstream and downstream enterprises, providing opportunities for cooperation for various industries to reorganize and optimize themselves on a global scale. Many exhibitors said that at the CIIE, they can deepen exchanges with companies and partners in the same industry or even across industries, and discuss cooperation prospects together.

The previous five sessions of the CIIE have seen debuts of around 2,000 new and innovative products, technologies and services, including intelligent mobile hospitals, hydrogen-fueled concept cars, direct-injection digital printers, and vertical farms. It has become an incubator for technological innovation with global impact.

The CIIE also provides free standard booths and fee reduction measures for the least developed countries. It has been joined by enterprises from 43 least developed countries in the previous five sessions.

With the help of the CIIE, products such as coffee from Timor-Leste, pine nuts from Afghanistan, and cashews from Cambodia have achieved unprecedented sales in the Chinese market.

The “CIIE effect” continues to amplify. The Hongqiao Import Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center provides a permanent exhibition and sales platform for small and medium-sized enterprises participating in the CIIE. Since the first CIIE, Shanghai has recognized a total of 60 “6+365” trading platforms and introduced nearly 270,000 types of exhibits, with a cumulative import value of over 323 billion yuan ($44.22 billion).

German multinational glass company Schott AG said the CIIE presents a vivid and lively representation of the entire Chinese market. The company participated in the first CIIE with a “give it a try” attitude. From then on, it attended the expo every year, increased its investment and even established new factories in China.

The head of Schott China stated that with the expo, the company has achieved unparalleled growth, and continuing to invest in the Chinese market is a strategic choice for the future.

Thanks to the CIIE, exhibits have turned into commodities and exhibitors have become investors. An increasing number of multinational corporations are deeply integrated into China’s industrial and innovation networks.

Since the beginning of this year, multinational companies have continued to increase investment and expand production in China, with projects progressing at a faster pace. Global refrigeration industry giant Danfoss has put into operation a global refrigeration R&D testing center, German chemical giant BASF’s integrated base has started construction on its syngas facility in Zhanjiang, south China’s Guangdong province, and Airbus has begun construction on its second final assembly line for the A320 series aircraft in Tianjin.

In the first nine months of this year, China has established 37,814 new foreign-invested enterprises, with a year-on-year increase of 32.4 percent.

The CIIE mirrors the resilience and vitality of the Chinese economy, to deepen reform and pursue high-quality development through greater openness.

For some time now, the global economic recovery has faced headwinds, but China has withstood the pressures and continued its rebound, with its economic growth among the highest in major economies worldwide.

China is steadfastly pushing for higher-level opening up, and actively expanding imports. It has remained the world’s second-largest import market for 14 consecutive years. With a population of over 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of over 400 million people, China constitutes the world’s second-largest consumer market and the largest online retail market.

Kenneth Jarrett, president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, noted that many companies with global markets need to achieve economies of scale, and if they don’t come to China, they won’t be able to reach the economic scale needed to maintain global competitiveness.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said that opening up is the hallmark of contemporary China. In his keynote speeches and addresses delivered at the previous five sessions of the CIIE, the word “openness” was mentioned over 100 times. The measures he announced at the CIIE to expand opening up have been gradually implemented, effectively promoting new progress in high-level opening-up.

China has established the Lingang new area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, implemented an integrated development strategy in the Yangtze River Delta region, released an overall plan for the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port, further expanded reform and opening up in Shenzhen, continuously improved business environment, and strengthened intellectual property protection.

China has deepened reform by opening up, and conversely, pursued deeper reforms to enable greater openness. This benefits not only China’s own development but also the world.

The CIIE belongs not just to China, but to the world. Looking ahead, China is willing to work together with all countries to practice true multilateralism, build a greater consensus of openness, jointly overcome the difficulties and challenges facing global economic development, and usher in a brighter future for development worldwide through opening up.

IronNet Inc. Files Voluntary Chapter 11 Petitions

Leave a comment

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — IronNet, Inc. (“IronNet” or “the Company”) stabilizes operations and continues plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court” and such cases, the “Chapter 11 Cases” or “Restructuring”).

On October 10, 2023, IronNet entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with ITC Global Advisors (“ITC”) for a $10M debtor-in-possession financing facility (“DIP”).

On October 12, 2023, IronNet filed a variety of “first day” motions seeking customary relief intended to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to continue ordinary course operations during the Restructuring. On October 13, 2013, the Court approved these first day motions, and authorized, on an interim basis, the execution of a reinstatement agreement with Amazon Web Services to reinstate and reactivate its cloud computing services.

Linda Zecher, CEO of IronNet, said, “Against a backdrop of intense restructuring in an uncertain capital raising environment, we remain intent on stabilizing IronNet and serving our customers. With the DIP financing provided by ITC, we believe we are better positioned to act in the interests of our stakeholders through the Restructuring.”

Cautionary Statements

The Company cautions that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Restructuring is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Restructuring.

Certain statements in this release are forward-looking statements which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors potentially causing actual materially differing results from those expressed or implied by such statements, and are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are inherently uncertain, including statements with respect to the Company’s pursuit of bankruptcy protection. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events and can be identified by terminology such as or similar to “may,” “should,” “could,” “future,” “expect,” “intend,” “intent,” “will,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,” “anticipate” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology.

Factors relating to the Company’s Restructuring potentially causing actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to; the ability to obtain Court approval of motions filed, risks associated with any third-party motions, potential adverse effects of the Restructuring on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations and increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute the Company’s reorganization, duration of the Restructuring, Court rulings in and the outcome of the Restructuring in general, and any effects of Restructuring on the Company and on the interests of various constituents.

Additionally, conditions to which the Company’s cash collateral is subject and the risk that these conditions may not be satisfied for various reasons, including reasons outside of the Company’s control; consequences of the acceleration of the Company’s debt obligations and the trading price and volatility of the Company’s common stock, and risks and uncertainties stated in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.
