Researchers at Northwestern University have used aerosol jet printing to create flexible artificial neurons that generate biologically realistic signals and directly activate living neural tissue.
Ultrathin electrodes in the sciatic nerve and a spiking neural network decoder classify phantom leg movements in above-knee amputees, enabling bidirectional motor control and sensory feedback from one device.
Epia Neuro emerged from stealth on April 2 with a read/write BCI platform that decodes neural intent and drives a grip-assist prosthetic, targeting first-in-human trials at Lenox Hill Hospital later this year.
Neuralink's VOICE trial decoded silent neural signals from an ALS patient's brain into synthesized speech as the company's BCI program scales to 21 participants worldwide.
A brain-computer interface developed by Mass General Brigham and Brown University decoded intended finger movements into QWERTY keystrokes at 110 characters per minute with a 1.6 percent word error rate, offering a faster alternative to eye-gaze systems for people with ALS and spinal cord injuries.
