"NEO, the implant developed by Neuracle Medical Technology, translates the thoughts of a person with paralysis into movements of an assistive robotic hand, allowing users to perform basic tasks."
"The implant embedded in the skull is about the size of a coin, with eight electrodes placed on the brain to process body movement and send signals to a computer."
"This development comes just months after China issued a policy document outlining a strategy to create a globally competitive brain-computer interface industry within five years."
China has approved the NEO brain chip, developed by Neuracle Medical Technology, for individuals aged 19 to 60 with paralysis. The implant translates thoughts into movements for a robotic hand, allowing users to perform basic tasks. After 18 months of safety testing, the National Medical Products Administration authorized its use. The chip, embedded in the skull, features eight electrodes that detect brain signals. This approval follows China's strategy to lead in brain-computer interface technology, marking a significant advancement in medical technology.
