This implant, which will not require brain tissue intervention, will help patients control digital electronics using only neural signals. They will be able to move the cursor on the screen and write message texts with the power of thought.

what is known

The Layer 7 Cortical Interface device is similar to a piece of tape and consists of a mass of electrodes thinner than a human hair. This allows you to fix it to the brain surface without damaging the tissue.

Percision was created in 2021 by Benjamin Rapoport, co-founder of Elon Musk’s co-developed company Neuralink. But if the Neuralink neuroimplant is implanted into brain tissue, the Precision specialists have invented a less invasive surgical method. for implantation it is only necessary to make a thin incision in the skull and insert a plate with an electrode there..

The incision should not be thicker than one millimeter, so that the patient does not even need to shave their hair for the operation. Also, this the procedure is reversible: the implant can be removedwhen the need is gone.

I think this is a great advance compared to technologies such as craniotomy, which requires removal of a large part of the skull, is time consuming and carries the risk of infection. I’ve never met anyone who wanted a hole in their skull.
— says Michael Mager, another founder of Precision Neuroscience.

The disadvantage of Precision technology, according to third-party experts, is that a device located on the surface of the cortex will read brain signals less effectively than an implanted one.

The company has already conducted experiments on animals and expects to receive approval for clinical trials on humans in the coming months.
