The German neurotech company becomes the first to receive FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for a brain-computer interface targeting motor recovery after stroke, with its closed-loop Brain Interchange system showing meaningful recovery in a Harborview Medical Center trial.
Hundreds of specialists watched Beijing Tiantan Hospital implant Beinao-1, China's 128-channel semi-invasive brain-computer interface, in a young man paralysed in a scooter accident — part of a clinical ramp that is closing on Neuralink's implant count at roughly 1% of its price.
A Purdue team reports in Science that a liquid monomer injected into the motor cortex self-assembles into a conductive electrode mesh — catalysed by the iron in blood — and can then modulate neural activity with external near-infrared light.
BrainCo's new Revo 3 dexterous hand applies neural decoding and tactile sensing from prosthetic limbs to humanoid robotics, backed by a US$286 million funding round.
Michel Maharbiz of iota Biosciences will keynote the ninth annual Bioelectronic Medicine Forum in New York on April 14, with panels on reimbursement and venture capital following a record Q1 for BCI funding.
A new 42-month programme will fund teams to build biological processing units from neural organoids, benchmarked against video games and drone navigation, at energy budgets rivalling a fruit fly's brain.
With seven UK patients implanted under the GB-PRIME study and a total of twenty worldwide, Neuralink's R1 surgical robot has moved to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi for the next cohort under the UAE-PRIME trial.
Neurosurgeon Daniel Kramer implants a BCI in a quadriplegic patient at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, with electrodes placed in higher-level brain areas rather than motor cortex alone.
A Johns Hopkins team reports 77.5% speech classification and 78–84% motor decoding accuracy using Precision's 1,024-channel thin-film cortical array during awake brain surgery in four patients.
