After that brief interruption, Ji Ting turned and opened the sealed case delivered by the drone. When he took out the high-precision signal generator and turned back, he found Qin Zaiye already seated in the monitoring chair, his face taut.
Ji Ting walked over to the console and activated the equipment. Beneath the cool white lights, the instruments gave a low hum. "This noninvasive 128-channel EEG monitoring system will only capture your neuroelectrophysiological responses when you receive my 'inner voice.'"
His fingers swept across the holographic interface, bringing up the EEG decoding algorithm. "There's no need to be nervous. The equipment won't cause you any physical harm during this process."
Lu Yanchu nodded in understanding. Qin Zaiye's jaw tightened, but he still said nothing.
"The first phase will test the transmission threshold." Ji Ting studied the brain topography maps being generated on the screen in real time. "I'll gradually increase the physical distance between us. Whenever you hear my inner voice again, just answer yes or no. I'll be able to receive your feedback."
"All right."
After explaining the precautions, Ji Ting took the elevator down to the first floor, his figure disappearing into the darkness outside the Laboratory.
[Can you two hear my inner voice?]
