The future of urban mobility with Braintech Technology
InnerEye's Braintech technology, brought to Europe by Macnica ATD Europe, sounds like science fiction, but it's not! In addition to being real and disruptive, it is already being used in the digital transformation of some markets, such as agriculture and automobiles.
In Brazil, Macnica DHW, in partnership with Embrapa, is using this technology to detect diseased plants, starting with soybeans and corn.
Braintech technology trains the Artificial Intelligence (AI) network using the judgment of Embrapa experts obtained directly from brain waves.
Through this capture, BrainTech technology can identify the judgment and classification that a person makes when observing an image. In Embrapa's case, during the training, the experts viewed images of diseased plants where they were able to train the algorithm to automate labeling.
This will make the identification of diseased plants much more agile and efficient, reducing losses on farms and rationalizing the use of natural resources.
"By combining neural signals and Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is possible to create a machine that imitates the human brain with high reliability," said Macnica DHW's IoT & AI Solutions Manager, Fabrício Petrassem.
With InnerEye's BrainTech technology, the process of recognizing an image or deciding can be accelerated by up to 10 times through the use of neural signals from experts.
Through neural signals, the EEG (electroencephalogram) directly accesses the brain's visual processing and decision-making response, and in Embrapa's case, the task of image recognition (data labeling) can be performed much faster because it captures the expert's level of certainty.
How can the expert's neural signals be captured?
Using InnerEye's Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), a device that resembles a helmet with an EEG system is placed on the expert's head, as shown in the image below.

During the labeling process, the experts need to pay close attention to the images, so EEG signals can also be used to assess the expert's state of attention, allowing them to take rest breaks if necessary.
This stage is carried out with the experts both to label the images and to retrain the model, in other words, it is possible to create an AI model with the knowledge of the leading experts in the area of interest.
Braintech technology will serve as a tool for improving the future of urban mobility
Another market that is already taking advantage of InnerEye's technology to promote much greater safety in urban mobility is the automobile industry.
Macnica was one of the sponsors of driver Takuma Koga, who competed for NASCAR in the Daytona race in the USA.
During the race, an EEG demonstration was made to prove the potential of InnerEye's AI-powered technology, which collected and analyzed the driver's brain waves.
Biometric information, including brain waves from drivers in extreme conditions, will be collected and analyzed in terms of concentration, stress, among others, so that it can be used to develop next-generation urban mobility to prevent accidents and enable much more efficient and intelligent driving.
