Synchron's BCI is implanted through the blood vessels and allows patients to operate technology using only their minds.
from the FDA to conduct trials of a permanently implantable BCI in human patients.
While many competitors have to implant their BCIs through open-brain surgery, Synchron relies on a less invasive approach that builds on decades of existing endovascular techniques, the company said.Synchron's BCI is inserted through the blood vessels, which Oxley calls the "natural highways" into the brain. Synchron's stent, called the Stentrode, is fitted with tiny sensors and is delivered to the large vein that sits next to the motor cortex.
Philip O'Keefe, one of Synchron's patients in the SWITCH clinical trial, was the first person in the world to tweet using a BCI device.For patients with severe paralysis or degenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, Synchron's technology can help them regain their ability to communicate with friends, family and the outside world, whether through typing, texting or even accessing social media.
In December 2021, Oxley handed over his Twitter account to a patient named Philip O'Keefe, who has ALS and struggles to move his hands. About 20 months earlier, O'Keefe was implanted with Synchron's BCI.Synchron's technology has caught the attention of its competitors. Musk approached the company to discuss a potential investment last year,. Synchron declined to comment about the report. Neuralink didn't respond to a request for comment.
