Problem
Individuals with neurological conditions often experience impaired communication and motor control, limiting their ability to interact with the digital world and perform daily tasks. Existing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) may not provide sufficient resolution or long-term stability to effectively translate complex neural signals into actionable commands.
Solution
Precision Neuroscience is developing a fully implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to record and interpret neural activity at a high resolution. The system utilizes a thin-film electrode array placed on the surface of the brain to capture detailed electrical patterns associated with thought. A processing unit, implanted between the skull and scalp, translates these signals into commands that can control connected digital devices. This technology aims to restore communication and control for individuals with neurological disorders by providing a direct neural pathway for interacting with computers and other assistive technologies.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with neurological conditions such as paralysis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and stroke, as well as clinical researchers studying brain function and developing new BCI applications.
