Controlling prosthetic hands more precisely by the power of thought

B-CRATOS is excited to announce the publication of the paper Accurate neural control of a hand prosthesis by posture-related activity in the primate grasping circuit, co-written principally by our partner Andres Agudelo-Toro and Hans Scherberger. This was a multi-year effort to decode the principles of grasping actions in the brain. Andres, a neuro-engineer at DPZ, […]

B-CRATOS Consortium Meeting in Lyon

On 16 and 17 October 2024, the B-CRATOS consortium was invited to hold its Consortium Meeting near Lyon, à Romanèche-Thorins. After a warm welcome by Paul Wanda and Cyril Beguet, our colleagues from Blackrock Microsystems Europe and organisers of the whole event, we started our discussions on the project status and the objectives for the […]

Synchron Announces Positive Results from U.S. COMMAND Study of Endovascular Brain-Computer Interface

In a major step forward for next-generation implantable BCI devices, Synchron has just announced positive safety results from their COMMAND clinical trial, reporting no serious adverse events in brain/vasculature of the 6 patients enrolled over 12 months!  Impressively, surgeries had a median deployment time of 20 minutes, demonstrating a major advantage of the Stentrode technology.  […]

B-CRATOS at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience 2024

In October 2024, our partners from DPZ participated at the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago. It was a great opportunity for them to share their research and experience with scientists from all over the world. The poster they presented was Training of real-time robotic grasp decoding from neuronal population activity in macaque motor cortex (M1). […]

Disruptive B-CRATOS approach

We are thrilled to share with you a short teaser about B-CRATOS! Electrode engineers are pushing channel count and density of modern implantable electrodes by orders of magnitude, but today’s BCI systems are unprepared to handle this volume of data.  Current day implantable neural interfaces already sacrifice both the quantity and quality of data collected, […]

The state of clinical trials of implantable Brain–Computer Interfaces

BCI Pioneer (and 2024 B-CRATOS Webinar participant) Ian Burkhart has recently co-authored a comprehensive review of clinical trials for implantable BCI in Nature Reviews Bioengineering! Importantly, Ian and his co-authors not only review the history of BCI trials, but provide valuable insights regarding a pathway forward regarding patient ethics, a need for BCI standards, diversity […]
