On December 3, according to The Paper, in an exclusive interview through an eye control device, Cai Lei, a patient with ALS and former vice president of JD.com, said that if one day eye control technology cannot meet work needs, he is ready to try a brain-computer interface. "We have promoted relevant clinical research in Huashan Hospital, Tangdu Hospital and many other institutions, and many patients have also actively participated." Cai Lei said that he believes that in the future, humans will really be able to directly use their minds to talk to the world.
Previously, Cai Lei posted an article in response to "Cai Lei said he only has 3 to 5 years left to live." He said that the content of this hot search list is distorted and misleading. My original words were: The average survival time of patients with ALS is only three to five years. This is the general clinical data of the disease, not a judgment of my personal life.
He said that for a long time, some self-media have been hyping up my condition, sometimes spreading rumors that "my health has improved" and sometimes exaggerating that "my condition has worsened", which seriously deviates from the facts. I have to explain. ALS is cruel and fatal, and my body continues to deteriorate, which is not good. This is a fact, but this is not the point. The important thing is that I can continue to advance scientific research through scientific and technological means. There is still hope, and the hope is getting bigger! Technology can not only change life, but also rewrite life. I hope that everyone will pay more attention to the ongoing scientific research work, and that all sectors of society will work together to support the fight against difficult diseases. Every effort may bring health and well-being to everyone. I am also ready to report more work results to you in the upcoming New Year.
