- 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.
- Neuralink competitor Paradromics just implanted its first brain-chip device. The next step is restoring speech.
Paradromics, a brain-computer interface startup and Neuralink competitor, implanted its first human brain-chip device in a patient with motor neuron disease at the University of Michigan in early June. The Connexus device aims to restore speech by translating neural activity into text or synthesized speech through software, with testing expected to begin soon.
