Electrode Cap that creates songs just by thinking
A system capable of creating music simply by thinking has been developed. Just as electrode caps commonly used for text creation select letters to form words and sentences, this system creates music using the same method. It is called 'Brain Composer,' developed by researchers at the University of Technology Graz (TU Graz). The experiment involved inputting brainwaves from subjects who possessed knowledge of musical composition. It is also possible to define tones and pitches. The researchers reported in the journal PLOS ONE that "all 18 subjects successfully performed demonstrations, and they can record melodies after completing short-term training."

Artificial intelligence can watch a game for two minutes and recreate it exactly.
Can artificial intelligence observe two minutes of gameplay and replicate it exactly? Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology announced plans to study frames from 2D video games and build an AI system capable of creating a replica of a complete game engine. This is expected to reduce the burden on developers and allow for experimentation with various game styles. In the first phase, they built their own model by observing frames and predicting the player's path and interactions. The research team stated through New Atlas, “While it is not possible to perfectly replicate a game engine with a single video, training with a few additional videos can yield nearly similar results.” They trained the system with the 2D games Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog, and it is currently learning Super Mario Brothers.

Ah , what level of performance is the iPhone's Face ID?

How effective is Face ID, which replaces the fingerprint sensor on the new iPhone? Business Insider reported on everything you need to know about the iPhone X. Among its features, facial recognition, Face ID, detects the eyes, nose, mouth, and surrounding areas. In dark environments, it can identify users using an infrared light projector.
An Apple official interviewed by TechCrunch stated, “It does not work for people wearing clothing that covers their face. However, it works with helmets or scarves.” It can still identify you even if you cut your hair or shave your beard. Since it does not unlock with your eyes closed, you do not need to worry while sleeping. Additionally, Apple does not store facial data. The newly added Apple Pay feature can also be used with Face ID.

Google Opens Door to India's Mobile Payment Market
Google will introduce its mobile payment service, Tez, in India next week. Unlike a mobile "wallet" that stores and uses money on the device, this is a Unified Payments Interface (UPI) that directly links a mobile phone to a bank account. There is a daily limit of 1 million KRW per transaction, and users can make 20 transfers per day. TechCrunch reported that Google plans to expand its service to other Asian countries, starting with India this week. They viewed the potential for mobile payment services as particularly high in developing markets due to low card penetration rates. Google has currently registered trademarks in Indonesia and the Philippines, and supported banks include Axis, HDFC Bank, ICICI, and the State Bank of India.
