I think you'd need to disclose the exact source. Unless you have created it yourself, I think it's very unlikely to be free of copyright. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A block diagram featuring arbitrary verbs like "improve", "restore", "enhance" etc. would not be useful without sourced text explaining the relevance of these. Also the image claims to illustrate "Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering" —which would require WP:MEDRS-compliant sourcing. - LuckyLouie (talk) 17:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The original source, as far as I know, is figure 1.3 on page 4 of the Brain-Computer Interfaces: Principles and Practices book by OUP, which is in copyright. Furthermore, the indicated source lists separate copyright licenses for the "Supplement" and "Improve" images used in this diagram. As such, this image does not appear to have a Wikipedia-compatible license. Lrkrol (talk) 18:03, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Compassionate AI Lab

Is the reference to the Compassionate AI Lab (in the low-cost interface section) WP:DUE? Their leader (according to their site), Amit Ray, seems to be primarily known as a spiritual leader, and their site also promotes his religious ideas ("We are greatly inspired by the words and teachings of compassionate AI master and spiritual scientist Sri Amit Ray. ... His artistic vigor, humanitarian ideals, true independence of mind, genuine love and gentleness find answers to the eternal questions confronting humanity."). Some of the claims he and the lab make about the lab's projects seem implausible (e.g. talking about quantum computing as though it's already usable for AI) or overly broad (from the lab's website: "Our vision: Realizing the full potential of the latest high end technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Cellular reprogramming, Quantum computing, Robotics, omics data integration, brain-computer interface, and precision medicine to eradicate human pain and sufferings and bring joy and happiness at all levels ."). And the only reference for it just goes to Ray's website. Could someone who's more of an expert on AI or BCI confirm whether the Compassionate AI Lab is scientifically credible and, if so, whether they're important enough to be discussed here? - 73.195.249.93 (talk) 18:41, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
