China pours money into brain chips that give paralysed people more control
Briefly

A deep brain device developed by StairMed in Shanghai enables a man with no limbs to engage in computer gaming. This advancement reflects a growing number of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) being tested in China, which, although newer to the field compared to the United States, is progressing quickly. Achievements in algorithms and implantation devices are being made, with significant government backing and involvement from young scientists. The country's robust medical infrastructure supports trials, promising worldwide benefits from this research, despite initial results lacking peer review.
The BCI system, developed by StairMed in Shanghai, allows a man with no limbs to play computer games, showcasing advancements in the field in China.
The Chinese government has identified brain-computer systems as a priority area of innovation, pouring funding into research and inviting a wave of young scientists.
