Brain-computer interfaces: first in-human recording with new, high-capacity device
A research team led by Matthew Willsey, MD, PhD at University of Michigan completed the first in-human recording from a novel, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI). The device, called the Connexus Brain-Computer Interface by Paradromics Inc., was temporarily implanted into a research participant during a temporal lobectomy, a procedure to remove part of the brain that causes seizures for a person with epilepsy.
This potentially ultra high-capacity BCI, which contains 421 microelectrodes, aims to restore essential functions lost due to injury or disease. The data collection may be used to work toward BCI clinical trials.
