Patient Receives Brain Implant That Can Wirelessly Control Computers

University of Michigan researchers temporarily implanted Paradromics' Connexus brain-computer interface (BCI) into a person with epilepsy and reported the first in-human recording from the BCI. The dime-sized device, which features more than 400 microelectrodes for data collection, wirelessly communicates with a system outside the body. The device will undergo further clinical trials later this year.
