Precision Neuroscience

Precision Neuroscience develops a fully implantable brain-computer interface designed to restore digital communication and device control for people with paralysis and other severe neurological conditions. Its Layer 7 Cortical Interface uses a non-penetrating, thin-film electrode array that rests on the brain's surface, capturing high-resolution neural signals without harming tissue. The system has received FDA clearance and has been implanted in more than 50 patients across multiple leading hospital partners.

Problem

Individuals with paralysis and other severe neurological conditions often lose the ability to communicate and interact with digital devices, creating profound barriers to independence and quality of life. Existing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) frequently require penetrating electrodes, which carry safety risks and limit scalability for broad clinical adoption.

Solution

Precision Neuroscience is building a fully implantable BCI that creates a high-bandwidth digital connection with the brain without harming neural tissue. The system uses a thin-film electrode array that rests on the brain's surface to capture detailed electrical signals, which are then processed by an implanted unit and translated into digital commands. This enables users to operate computers, communicate, and control external devices using thought alone. The non-penetrating design is intended to be safer and more scalable than traditional approaches, supporting broader deployment across clinical settings. The company has demonstrated high-accuracy sensory and motor decoding as well as focal electrical stimulation in animal studies, and has implanted its device in more than 50 human patients during standard neurosurgical procedures.

Target Audience

Primary users are individuals living with paralysis, spinal cord injury, ALS, and other neurological conditions, as well as clinical researchers and hospital systems seeking advanced BCI technology for restorative treatments.
