Precision

A brain-computer interface described as the first high-bandwidth digital connection with the brain achieved without harm has received FDA clearance for its Layer 7 cortical interface. The interface is slated to expand to more brain regions, enabling new possibilities for treatment and discovery, and institutions including Mount Sinai, Penn Medicine and Mass General Brigham are listed as participants. Several people living with ALS, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury and transverse myelitis are quoted describing goals such as having a conversation in the sun or finishing an engineering degree.
