Bitcoin hit a new high today, and many people think that the altcoin season is about to restart.
Then you must not miss this new Desci narrative project @pjonfly

At first, I thought it was a funny promotion for a meme coin, but after clicking in
and taking a look, the story behind it made me sit a little longer. As a
guy who likes to dig into the technology behind crypto projects, I found
@pjonfly is not only interesting, but also has a taste of future technology. It is a
@neirylab (NeiryLab) Desci (Decentralized Science)
experiment that recently won the community vote and became the new focus of the project.


@neirylab

NeiryLab's fame began with Pythia, the world's first rat connected to artificial
intelligence. This lab rat was connected to a custom-built
GPT-4 model via implanted electrodes, and could answer yes/no
questions by controlling buttons with brainwaves. Pythia's success not only caused a sensation in the scientific community, but also set off a wave of "biological mining" in the
Crypto field. The project's token
$PYTHIA reached a market value of $50 million within 10 days of its launch

Pjon's technical sublimation lies in its more complex and practical design. Unlike
Pythia's simple button control, Pjon is equipped with a complete flight control
system: a BCI implanted chip, a miniature camera, a microprocessor, and a lithium-ion
battery, enabling up to 8 hours of continuous operation. This design makes
Pjon not just an experimental subject, but a fully functional "biological
drone"

NeiryLab isn't just playing with technological gimmicks, but wants to promote brain-computer technology to practical applications through the Desci
model. The core of Desci is to put academic research
on the chain, making fund allocation transparent, and community voting determines the project direction.
NeiryLab's non-invasive BCI products have been launched in multiple countries and
regions around the world, such as for rehabilitation training or data collection, which makes me feel that they are
more down-to-earth than many crypto projects. @pjonfly is the latest experiment of this concept.
If it can be successfully deployed by the end of the year (the official website mentions the target of the end of 2025), it may be used for environmental monitoring, post-disaster rescue, and even artistic performances.

Imagine a group of pigeons implanted with BCI flying in the sky, transmitting pictures in real time,
the data is on the chain, and the community can also decide their "tasks" through voting.

NeiryLab's core scientist @LebedevMikhailA is the absolute authority in the field.
He served as a senior research scientist at Duke University for 16
years, and is a pioneer in the field of brain-computer interfaces. Lebedev's career
spans several top research institutions, including the National Institute of Mental Health, the Italian
International School for Advanced Studies, etc. It is worth noting that he does have a deep intersection with Musk's
brain-computer interface research field. Although he is not a direct core scientist of Neuralink,
his research results have laid an important foundation for the entire industry.

Mikhail Lebedev's technical contributions include the development of a two-way brain-computer interface system,
allowing experimental monkeys to not only control robotic arms, but also feel tactile feedback through cortical stimulation.
This "brain-machine-brain" interface technology is the core technology foundation of the Pjon
project.

Pjon's ability to win the NeiryLab community vote reflects an important trend in the DeSci
field: the democratization of scientific research. Through
the http://app.neiry.ai platform, users holding $PYTHIA and $ELVIS tokens
can vote to determine the next research direction. This model breaks the traditional scientific funding system and allows the community to directly participate in the process of scientific discovery.
scientific funding system, allowing the community to directly participate in the process of scientific discovery.

The significance of the voting results lies not only in the selection of the Pjon project, but also in verifying
the feasibility of "crowd-sourced science". Different from traditional academic
peer review, this model allows a wider range of stakeholders to participate in scientific
decision-making, which may give rise to more innovative and practical research directions.

A friend said that NeiryLab recently launched a volume ranking event (see
http://app.neiry.ai for details), so I can hurry up and try it. Participation is very
simple: link Twitter and wallet, share the content to Discord
https://discord.gg/NpsGRfkD's "first-leaderboard"
channel.

The significance of the Pjon project goes far beyond its technology itself. It represents mankind's continuous exploration of the boundaries of biological
technology, and also demonstrates the great potential of the combination of Crypto and traditional science.
In this uncertain world, Pjon provides
us with a brand new perspective: scientific research is no longer a lonely exploration in an ivory tower,
but can become an innovative experiment in which the whole society participates together.
