Synchron is leading the race to bring a BCI implant to market.
“Synchron is the very first to commercialize the concept of BCI in a meaningful way,” - Nick Ramsey, neuroscientist at UMC Utrecht.
Six paralyzed people are using Synchron's BCI implants to communicate with computers.
The device doesn't require open brain surgery, unlike Neuralink and others.
It uses electrodes in a blood vessel near the brain to detect motor signals.
Users can currently click and scroll using their thoughts, with more complex commands planned.
“We are leaning into the simplicity feature of our system” towards regulatory approval, says Tom Oxley, CEO of Synchron.
