Additional information: 
As the world leader in BCI tech, our pioneering neuroscience tools push the boundaries of research and empower innovation across more than 500+ global institutional partners, restoring function in patients suffering from neurological disease (ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s), dysfunction (epilepsy, pain, brain trauma), and paralysis disorders. Our systems can be optimized from the ground up to handle even the most challenging applications. 

Our BCI is the most sophisticated and long-tested human BCI, interfacing with the brain and empowering independence in those with paralysis & other neurological disorders since 2004. In fact, dozens of patients have used our BCI for a collective 30,000+ days to regain freedom through movement and communication. Our first commercial BCI, MoveAgain, received a Breakthrough Designation from the FDA in 2021 and is expected to be commercially available in 2023.

In a significant step forward in medical science, researchers from Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have successfully conducted the first double neural bypass operation - employing our Utah Array. 

Keith Thomas, a 45-year-old man paralyzed from the chest down due to a diving accident, is the first to experience the transformative results of this operation. 

The researchers successfully implanted our Utah Array into specific regions of Thomas's brain to stimulate motion and feeling. When Thomas visualizes a movement, our device captures the electrical signals in his brain and relays them to a computer that decodes the signals and stimulates the appropriate muscles, thus facilitating the movement Thomas imagines.

The same process aids in restoring Thomas's sense of touch. Sensors on his skin send signals to the computer, which communicates with the Utah Arrays in his brain, enabling him to experience tactile sensations once again. Post-operation, Thomas has demonstrated significant progress, regaining the ability to move his arms and feel sensations on his skin.

This operation marks a remarkable advancement in paralysis research and brain-computer interfacing, taking a giant leap forward in our understanding and ability to restore mobility and sensation in individuals affected by paralysis.

Chips on your mind? 🍟

The idea of having a chip installed on your brain brings thoughts of a dystopian nightmare for many. 

The recent news from Neuralink shows its now a reality and I was surprised to find out that BlackRock owned competitor, Blackrock Neurotech has been implanting brain-computer interfaces since 2004 🤯.

They've installed 50 chips similar to the Neuralink's one to date and so we now have a competitive market of privately owned companies that are developing technology which will be symbiotic with your thoughts. 🧠🤖

What a time to be alive!

During the early 19th century people were terrified to get on a train for the first time as they feared its speed would kill them...

It didn't and now we can't recognise a world without the locomotive.🚂 

Are we right to be scared by the prospect of advanced brain-computer interfaces becoming a norm, or are we on the cusp of a technological revolution that will thrust humanity forward for the better? 🤔

A new piece in Scientific Reports from Stanford University, Brown University, and Harvard Medical School's visionary researchers showcases a truly groundbreaking advancement in implantable BCI technology: Recurrent neural network-enabled control over multiple effectors.

This innovation opens the door to bimanual tasks and movements—imagine controlling two computer cursors or operating dual robotic arms simultaneously, all through the power of thought.
 
This work provides critical insight, tackle the longstanding challenge of interpreting complex and nonlinear neural signals. By employing recurrent neural networks, the team has unlocked high-quality, bimanual control, fine-tuning the system to distinguish between left and right-hand movements effectively.

A core element of this study is Blackrock Neurotech’s technology. Our 96-channel intracortical microelectrode arrays (Utah Arrays), placed within the participant's precentral gyrus, and NeuroPort system were instrumental in capturing and processing the neural signals necessary for this achievement.

This leap in BCI capability is not just a milestone in neurotech, but a notable advancement in the continuation of unlocking new frontiers and possibility.

Fabulous perspectives on Brain Implants led by Nandan Lad Duke University  with Ian Burkhart, Benjamin Rapoport of Precision Neuroscience  Florian Solzbacher at Blackrock Neurotech  and Devjani Saha of MCRA

Some people think they have cool friends, but I actually have the coolest friends. Nathan Copeland created this BCI masterpiece by connecting his thoughts directly to his computer using Blackrock Neurotech’s at-home system. 

If you’re a little (or a lot) jealous that you don’t have a cool mind-made art piece, you’re in luck. Nathan has a select few signed prints available here: https://lnkd.in/eP8UmCMq

Kind of a perfect holiday present for yourself or the neuroscientist you love.
