为了人类头骨植入微型电子设备内部,一个新的由Neuralink脑科学与创始团队成员筹集数百万美元。美国精密神经科学公司,公司发展高分辨率,微创,和可逆的脑-机接口(BCI)植入了41美元资金由Forepont Capital Partners。Mubadala首都德雷伯同事、校友企业和re.Mind资本加入现有投资者Steadview资本和B Capital Group。有额外的资金,精度能够继续招聘顶尖人才,推进产品开发,和准备FDA监管审查,预期在未来几个月。最近的投资提高了公司总资金在不到两年的53美元。本杰明•拉波波特Elon Musk大脑知名公司的创始成员Neuralink Corp .)与精度。在2018年离开Neuralink之后,拉波波特2021年联合创立精密神经科学与经验丰富的私人股本投资者迈克尔瘦的。团队拥有先进的对2023年的临床试验,验证其高分辨率的脑机接口系统公司成立短短两年了。“我们想象一个世界,毁灭性的神经系统疾病,中风、创伤性脑损伤,痴呆,终于可以治疗,”Michael马杰精密神经科学的首席执行官说。“到这个世界上,脑机接口技术进步需要走出实验室,进入诊所。 Precision is excited to take on that challenge.” “Forepont is proud to lead Precision Neuroscience’s Series B raise to support the advancement of Precision’s cutting-edge technology,” Eric Attias, founder and managing partner of Forepont Capital Partners, said. “Precision is pioneering a BCI product that we believe will achieve patient outcomes that were previously thought to be impossible.” In order to treat neurological conditions, Precision plans to implant sensors just under peoples’ skulls, on top of the brain tissue without actually going through it. It would be less invasive to use Precision’s device. The skull would only need to be slightly cut open, with a slit about 2 centimetres wide and 400 microns long being made to allow for the passage of an array of sensors. On top of actual brain tissue, the device would be positioned beneath the dura, a protective membrane. The sensors would be connected to circuitry that, in its final configuration, would sit outside the skull but under the skin, by a tiny collection of wires that would pass through the slit. Layer 7 Cortical Interface The Layer 7 Cortical Interface implant from Precision is a thin, flexible film material strip about the thickness of a human hair, similar to a piece of Scotch tape. Utilizing a specialised, minimally invasive cranial micro-slit technique, it can be implanted and is designed to conform to the surface of the brain without damaging tissue. The device can process a lot of data because each microelectrode array has 1,024 electrodes, which is 600 times more electrode density than typical cortical arrays. On its cutting-edge technology, the company has more than 25 issued and pending patents. Picture Credits: ChinalImages/ Depositphotos
