Neurotech start-up Paradromics will be trialing its brain implant next year, as the race to be the leader in the brain computer interface space heats up.
"The brain is a super fascinating organ. We have about 85 billion neurons and every neuron is a million times slower than a computer chip. And yet, the brain does incredible things," said Matt Angle, CEO and founder of Paradromics, in an interview with While Angle anticipates the device will be able to treat a wide range of conditions, Paradromics will be focusing on patients who have lost their ability to communicate first, whether that be due to paralysis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or spinal injury.
"Paradromics can take the science and apply the right engineering to get us from research to medical device," he added."The one thing you would have to do as a user is go through a brief calibration routine to learn that mapping from electrical signals to intention. But once that mapping is learned, the system can be used," Gilja said.
