Do not get surprised when Pythia starts talking. Literally: she will vocalize in the language you prefer.

- BAII is the brain artificial intelligence interface $PYTHIA
- Meet Pythia, the first rat equipped with a brain - artificial intelligence interface
00:00 - To the question “did Musk develop a brain-artificial intelligence interface?” the answer is: No. Here is his paper: jmir.org/2019/10/e16194/ The technology is great, but this is not a BAII. Pythia is the pioneer.
- Pythia is getting so much attention, and I’m really happy that there’s interest in science – it’s wonderful. Tomorrow, Pythia and I will be guests on @notthreadguy livestream on Twitch. Get your questions ready! Noon Pacific Time.
- There are 3 major uses for BAII: 1) Reading-out thoughts 2) Creating proper stimuli (visual, auditory etc.) 3) Interface modern world to the brain using neurostimulation $PYTHIA
- Pythia’s environment is sophisticated. An AI communicates with her brain and tracks multiple variables: objects, events, Pythia’s position and navigation. This way, Pythia learns to be in this environment and communicate with devices, people and other rats.
- ratpythia account has been temporarily suspended by the platform, apparently due to some mistake. This happens sometimes, and my colleagues are already dealing with it. I'm sure the problem will be solved soon. Let's wish them luck!
- In the Nobel-prize winning experiments, the brain implant is bulky and connected with wires to the recording equipment. Pythia has a wireless implant, which will become small and practically invisible.
- Infrared neuroprosthetic vision could be dramatically augmented by a brain - artificial intelligence interface (BAII)
