I implanted Paradromics' first long-term brain chip in a patient. I began my career as an electrical engineer.
Dr. Matthew Willsey, a neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan Health, performed Paradromics' first long-term brain chip implant. He transitioned from electrical engineering to neurosurgery after witnessing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in action, aiming to develop fully implantable systems for conditions like ALS.
