8、ard,” he said. So in 2013, Carson broke the nose and tail off a full-size skateboard to make a locker-size board. At the time, Carson was saving for surfing lessons. His mom, Carrie, told him he needed to do that on his own. He decided to sell the boards at school. For months, he sold them during lu
9、nch for $20 each, until hed saved $1, 000 for lessons. After hitting his financial goal, Carson realized he liked running a business. But he needed start-up capital. Again, his mom said he had to find a way to get it himself. “So thats exactly what he set out to do,” Carrie says. Carson approached t
10、he company Vans to see if he could get some of their used skateboards for free. Vans set up a recycling program for him, and started giving him 50 used boards per month. Carson first applied for Shark Tank in 2013. The producers turned him down because his company wasnt big enough. But every six mon
11、ths, he checked in with the producers again. In 2017, they finally said yes. At the shoot, Carson made his pitch (陈述), with the help of his mom. Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Records, Virgin Airlines and hundreds of other companies decided to invest (投资). Since then, Carson has sold more th

If a work of art has no such information with it, then there is a good chance that its a f
16、orged（伪造）one. Although there are many ways to detect forged art, it can still be a very difficult task for experts. Forgers know a lot about the artists and the materials that he or she used. They are very careful about painting exactly in the artists style. Yet experts continue to develop new techn
17、ology to help fight forgery. For instance, scientists are now using the digital code from computer images, which can show the artists digital “fingerprint”. The digital fingerprint can give scientists specific information about the pressure, angle or thickness of the original artists strokes（笔画）of t
18、he brush. Some people today believe that there are almost as many forged works of art as original ones. However, with technology continuing to improve, it will surely become far more difficult for a forger to fool art experts. Art can tell us about our own and other cultures and provide us with a va
19、luable record of human history. While many great artists have borrowed ideas and been influenced by those before them, they have often taken these ideas and changed them into something that is fresh and new and originally theirs. Forgers are not expressing their own original ideas at all. An origina
20、l work of art has something a forged piece will never have. It has the touch, the feelings, the interpretation（诠释）of its creator and this is what gives it its mark of originality. It could be like comparing fresh flowers with artificial ones. Artificial flowers might have the same color, design, sha

No one has been able to understand those signals directly. But researchers recently made progress in turning data from electrodes (电极) sur
24、gically placed on the brain into computer-made speech. Using computer models known as neural (神经) networks (NN), they reconstructed words and sentences that were, in some cases, understandable to human listeners. People who have lost the ability to speak after a disease can use their eyes or make ot
25、her small movements to select on-screen letters just like what Stephen Hawking did, but that was extremely inconvenient. But if NN could re-create their speech directly, they might regain much more: for example, the ability to cut in a fast-moving conversation. The hurdles are high. “We are trying t
26、o work out the pattern of neurons that turn on and off at different time points, and infer the speech sounds,” says Nima Mesgarani, a computer scientist at Columbia University. “The mapping from one to the other is not straightforward at all.” How these signals translate to speech sounds varies from
27、 person to person, so computer models must be “trained” on each single patient. So you can imagine the work!The network of Mesgaranis team analyzed data from five patients who heard recordings of stories and people naming numbers from zero to nine. The computer then reconstructed spoken numbers from
28、 neural data alone; when the computer “spoke” the numbers, a group of listeners named them with 75% accuracy. Neurosurgeon Edward Chang reconstructed entire sentences from brain activity caught from speech and motor areas while three patients raised their voice and read. In an online test, 166 peopl
29、e heard one of the sentences and had to select it from among 10 written choices. Some sentences were correctly identified more than 80% of the time. The researchers also pushed the model further: They used it to re-create sentences from data recorded while people silently mouthed words. “Thats an im
