So many delicious birds, why choose pigeons?
Following the mouse Pythia and the gorilla Elvis, the third project "Cyber Pigeon" Pjon has won funding and resource support from Neiry Labs' launchpad.
I'm curious, why not choose smarter animals like parrots or sparrows? What cool features has Pjon's technology achieved?
Let's dive in!

Actually, it's simple; not all smart animals are suitable for BCI. At the current level of technology, biological systems that are relatively simple, highly plastic, and capable of performing single tasks and complex decisions are more suitable for testing.
As we all know, pigeons can not only be made into squab, which is delicious, but they can also serve as messengers, delivering messages in a directed manner.
This indicates that pigeons excel in direction recognition and positioning, as well as visual processing, making them an excellent medium for testing motion control and sensory feedback. Their size is also just right, making it convenient to equip them with small sensors and prosthetics, resulting in minimal surgical trauma, and, well... they get criticized less.
Earlier, a strange term "BCI" was mentioned, which is actually an abbreviation for Brain-Computer Interface. This technology can directly record and interpret brain neural signals and interact with external devices, such as controlling robotic arms, computers, AI agents, etc.

Pjon is a live pigeon that has been implanted with a brain neural prosthetic and an enhanced eye camera. With this technology, Pjon can be used as a covert intelligence agent, a little scout, or even a city patrol officer. It can be flown remotely or fly autonomously, mainly due to its enhanced vision, featuring a full-spectrum visual system and 360-degree panoramic reconnaissance without blind spots.
To summarize, the technological innovations of @pjonfly include:
▰ Brain-computer interface implantation: surgically implanted in the cerebral cortex, allowing high-fidelity remote control of motor functions through encrypted neural signals.
▰ Miniature camera: providing comprehensive visual supervision for flight navigation, target acquisition, and real-time intelligence collection.
▰ Microcontroller and processor: enabling bidirectional data exchange, offline AI modules, rapid task execution, and low-latency decision-making.
Theoretically, Pjon is the first project to win the Neiry Labs accelerator. In a situation where the DeSci - Biotech track is nearly dead, Neiry continues to output and deliver, which is quite impressive. I previously introduced this project and team.
The two projects incubated by Neiry Labs, Pythia and Elvis tokens, have performed reasonably well in the secondary market, with both opening to significant gains. After some adjustments, they have started to reach new highs again, and Pythia's FDV has also rebounded to around 60 million.
Today, @neirylab announced that Pjon won, and they also provided a guaranteed quota for the Top 200 Yappers, with each person's quota based on their ranking points. The initial MC was only $100,000, and I was surprised to find that I wasn't on the list.
I just searched a bunch of fake CAs, and I remember the legitimate one is:
