Neurology, Surgery. This company is developing an electrocorticography (ECG)-based brain computer interface to address motor impairments associated with neurodegenerative diseases and paralysis. Similar to technologies already incorporated in epilepsy treatment, this platform translates signals recorded from the surface of the brain into motor commands, potentially allowing paralyzed patients to control prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs and computers using their thoughts. The company is developing a prototype for clinical testing, with a working prototype expected in 12-15 months. Founded: 2008.
