Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)

High-bandwidth bidirectional neural interfaces.

Form Factors

BCIs vary from non-penetrating ECoG grids (high SNR, low tissue damage) to penetrating microelectrode arrays (single-unit resolution, high gliosis) and endovascular stents (no craniotomy required).

FAQ

How is data extracted?

Via transcutaneous RF links or percutaneous pedestals depending on the device phase.
