Though their approaches vary, innovative companies like Paradromics and Synchron are trying to hack the brain’s instructions to the body and transmit them directly to an electronic device — enabling a person to move a cursor by thinking about it.
: building a high-speed interface between brain and device for the public, and finding ways of treating spine and brain injuries along the way.the surface of the brain, and a robot to perform the surgery. Musk envisions people regularly upgrading their brain implants, saying at the November event, “I’m pretty sure you would not want the iPhone 1 stuck in your head if the iPhone 14 is available.”
Matt Angle, Paradromics’s CEO and in some ways Neuralink’s closest rival, said that all of his competitors “have responsible people” who"want to make sure the devices are safe.”Thursday that the FDA had rejected Neuralink’s application last year to conduct trials in people, citing anonymous sources. Musk said in November that the company had submitted most of its paperwork to the FDA and expected to begin human trials in six months.
People in the field, known as brain-computer interface technology, often offer an analogy to a sporting event. For devices that go on top of the head, it’s like hearing the crowd roar from outside the stadium. For those that penetrate the brain, it’s like lowering microphones into the stands and picking up conversations of individual people.
With the implant gone, Burkhart felt a sense of loss. “I still feel myself being careful when I’m brushing my hair,” he said in an interview. “I miss the possibility of going back into the lab and moving my hand again.” “We’re able to go safely where nobody’s gone before,” said Kurt Haggstrom, Synchron’s commercial chief. “We don’t know yet what the limitations are.”At a recent cocktail party in a D.C. hotel, top executives of five rival brain-tech companies mingled and talked shop while dining on garlic-studded leg of lamb and parmesan truffle potatoes. They had come to present at a Commerce Department
Angle, Paradromics’ CEO, argues that implanting a device on the surface of the brain is too far from neurons to read their individual signals. He is betting on a variation of the Utah Array, configuring a device for higher bandwidth and less risk of damaging brain tissue.two machines use an electrified brass wire to chisel 400 spikelike electrodes into a square of platinum-iridium smaller than a fingertip. The electrodes measure 1.
