University of Michigan achieves first human brain recording with wireless implant | New brain-computer interface shows promise in restoring communication


In a significant advance for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, a University of Michigan research team has achieved the first in-human recording using Paradromics' Connexus device – a...

Highly anticipated: As the brain-computer interface technology field transitions from experimental demonstrations to practical clinical applications, the University of Michigan has just achieved a milestone that could make high-performance, wireless BCIs a reality for people living with paralysis, speech loss, and other challenging conditions. The successful test of a fully implantable device in a human patient signals a new era in neurotechnology, where restoring lost functions through brain-to-computer communication is moving closer to everyday clinical use. By decoding neural signals at the level of individual neurons, the technology could one day help address mental health conditions or chronic pain by interpreting mood or discomfort directly from brain activity.
