On August 31, People.cn Sichuan published a feature on WABO’s exploration of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces and new forms of human-machine interaction.
The report followed an August 21 conversation in XWBank’s “AI构造力” livestream series. WABO founder Zhang Xingzhi spoke with Chen Ran, deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua Finance, about technical choices in BCI, paths to commercialization, and the ethical boundaries of systems that connect human signals with machine action. The discussion also considered how Chengdu’s semiconductor, AI, life-science, and innovation ecosystems support interdisciplinary technology companies.
Understanding neural intent within defined tasks
The feature described why WABO is pursuing a non-invasive approach: it does not require surgery and is better suited to everyday interaction settings. Zhang also drew a clear boundary between BCI and generalized “mind reading.” Current systems work within defined tasks, interpreting limited intent such as selection, confirmation, correction, or stopping—not unrestricted private thought.
This distinction is central to WABO’s approach to neural intent. Neural signals become useful machine input only when they are interpreted together with a defined task, interface state, and outcome feedback.
Keeping people in control of physical action
In the discussion on responsible development, Zhang emphasized that permissions for physical action in embodied systems should remain bounded by human intent and explicit authorization. The purpose of BCI is to strengthen a person’s control over intelligent devices, rather than transfer agency to the machine.
The feature provides a public introduction to WABO’s non-invasive direction, task boundaries, and human-control principles.
