China plans to outpace Neuralink with a state-backed brain chip blitz
Plan aims to streamline approval by bringing regulators in at the beginning, potentially shaving years off the lab-to-market timeline.
Priorities include developing ultralow-power implantable chips, refining electrode materials to minimize scarring, creating algorithms for real-time decoding of thought into commands, and scaling up manufacturing lines for non-invasive wearables. State media describe plans for “significant progress in the development of BCI chips” and high-performance communications silicon designed to filter and transmit neural signals in real time. Recent clinical trials demonstrate that there’s serious momentum behind China’s plans: Patients implanted with these cortical arrays have navigated smartphone apps and played chess with neural inputs.
