Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the emergence of a black market in education, where certain institutions exploit parental anxiety by promoting pseudoscientific concepts related to "whole brain development" and "neuroscience" for profit [2][3][4]. Group 1: Pseudoscientific Practices - Some educational institutions use outdated theories like "left and right brain division" to market their courses, employing gimmicks such as "blindfold reading" and "5-minute poetry memorization" to create myths [2][3]. - Claims that flashcard training can enable children to have photographic memory are unfounded, as they contradict basic cognitive principles [2][3]. - The notion of developing "super abilities" in children through these methods is fundamentally flawed and lacks scientific backing [3][4]. Group 2: Impact on Children - The mechanical stimulation from rapid flashcard sessions can harm the fragile cognitive systems of young children, rather than aiding their intellectual development [3]. - Excessive focus on rote memorization and abstract cognition deprives children of opportunities to engage with the world naturally, stifling their creativity and imagination [3][4]. - The pursuit of "superior intelligence" through these programs promotes a distorted value system that undermines genuine educational growth [3][4]. Group 3: Industry Dynamics - A complete black market chain exists, with unqualified teachers and counterfeit "international certification courses" being common [4]. - Educational tools, such as "brainwave headphones" and "smart storybooks," are sold at exorbitant prices despite their low production costs [4]. - Social media influencers contribute to this issue by promoting pseudoscience as replicable success formulas, exploiting parents' fears of missing critical developmental windows [4]. Group 4: Regulatory Recommendations - There is a need for systemic reforms to address these issues, including the establishment of a negative list for educational advertising to regulate false claims [4]. - Educational authorities should collaborate with research institutions to create guidelines that prohibit teaching methods that violate developmental principles [4]. - Parents must develop a rational understanding of cognitive development, recognizing that any training beyond a child's current capabilities poses significant risks [4][5]. Group 5: Reflection on Educational Values - The article emphasizes that the history of educational speculation shows that all unscientific educational myths will eventually collapse [5]. - It calls for a reevaluation of the belief in shortcuts to genius, advocating for a healthy educational evaluation system that respects individual growth [5].

Group 1: Industry Overview - Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is advancing rapidly due to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and sensing technologies [1] - The Sichuan Provincial Economic and Information Technology Department has launched a plan to develop BCI products, aiming to complete the R&D of 3 invasive and 5 non-invasive BCI products by 2027 [1] - The plan also targets to serve over 50,000 medical patients annually by 2027 and to establish Sichuan as a national leader in BCI and human-computer interaction by 2030 [1] Group 2: Non-Invasive BCI Applications - Non-invasive BCI technology is expected to significantly improve the early diagnosis and treatment efficiency of Alzheimer's disease [2] - The technology aims to manage chronic diseases in the elderly through early screening and outpatient rehabilitation [2] - A project named "Swan Lake" has been developed for community-based early screening and non-drug interventions for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) [2][3] Group 3: Research Findings - Research involving over 3,000 elderly participants has shown that MCI patients exhibit abnormal frequency bands and network patterns [3] - Non-invasive BCI screening can achieve over 90% sensitivity using just 4 electrodes in a 5-10 minute test, enhancing the efficiency of MCI screening [3] - Non-invasive BCI techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) are being explored for outpatient rehabilitation of MCI [3] Group 4: Invasive BCI Innovations - Invasive BCI technology has achieved a breakthrough in the surgical treatment of gliomas, marking a significant advancement in neurosurgery [5][6] - The technology allows for real-time analysis of brain signals to differentiate tumor tissue from normal brain tissue, improving tumor resection rates [6] - The first successful application of invasive BCI technology for glioma surgery in China has been reported, showcasing its potential to enhance surgical outcomes [6][7] Group 5: Future Prospects - Invasive BCI technology not only maximizes safe tumor removal but also predicts tumor recurrence, potentially extending patient survival [7] - The industry is awaiting the development of mature products and technologies that could lead to transformative changes in medical practices [7]
