The company has built real, end-to-end engineering—high-channel neural implants, flexible electrode threads, custom silicon, a surgical robot, and a full software pipeline. The hard part isn’t reading brain signals; it’s doing so safely, reliably, and consistently over years in real humans.\n\nEarly demos (like cursor control) prove feasibility, not scalability. The true challenges are long-term biocompatibility, signal drift, wireless power and bandwidth limits, and repeatable surgical placement. Near-term impact is realistic for paralysis and assistive device control with clear metrics and value. Claims about broad cognitive enhancement remain far-future speculation.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/C_vxv2lH8gtsOvcitD9ucDTzz91dGKjjIsIoTf6C2-s/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNDI4LzE2ODM1/ODMzNTYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
