For the experimental treatment, surgeons in 2014 placed a tiny device on his brain that includes 96 electrodes that penetrate just below the surface. It monitors a relatively small population of ...

Eye Tech Startups aiming to restore sight have adopted a variety of strategies. At Science, researchers are developing an implant that sits directly in the eye, under the retina. That’s different than ...

Neuralink's 'sewing robot' removes a small chunk of the skull, connects the thread-like electrodes to certain areas of the brain, stitches up the hole and the only visible remains is a scar left ...

And a pioneer of those early experiments, Philip Kennedy, paid someone to put a Neuralink precursor implant in his head in 2014. Just like Neuralink, these implants monitor brain activity to translate ...

The OneRF ™ Ablation System is NeuroOne’s first device with a therapeutic indication and its third FDA 510 (k)-cleared device. NeuroOne now boasts a full line of thin film electrode technology ...

Musk said 400 of the implant's electrodes on the second patient's brain are working. Neuralink on its website states that its implant uses 1,024 electrodes.

That's a big misconception, he said. People often incorrectly assume that "you need electrodes that penetrate deep inside the brain to get that information out," he added. But brain implants don't ...
