University of Michigan achieves first human brain recording with wireless implant, marking a milestone in brain-computer interface technology.
The successful test of Paradromics' Connexus device in a human patient demonstrates the potential for high-performance, wireless BCIs to aid individuals with paralysis, speech loss, and other neurological conditions.
The Connexus device features a compact size with 421 microelectrodes and is designed to capture individual neural signals for precise brain-to-computer communication, aiming to improve device performance and restore natural communication speeds.
Paradromics focuses on durability and long-term safety of the implant, with plans for a clinical trial to evaluate safety, performance, and impact on patients' lives, as the BCI field continues to attract significant investment and drive technological advancements.
