Neuralink Rival Paradromics Achieves First Human Brain Implant
Summary
Neurotech startup Paradromics has achieved a major milestone by successfully implanting its brain-computer interface in a human for the first time, paving the way for a clinical trial later this year to study the long-term safety and use of its technology.
Key Points
- Paradromics, a neurotech startup, has successfully implanted its brain-computer interface (BCI) in a human for the first time.
- The procedure was performed on a patient undergoing neurosurgery for epilepsy at the University of Michigan, demonstrating the safe implantation and recording of neural activity by Paradromics' system.
- This milestone marks the beginning of Paradromics' transition to a clinical-stage company, with plans to initiate a clinical trial later this year to study the long-term safety and use of its technology in humans.
