High-bandwidth brain-computer interface

scoping

An implanted interface that lets a person with paralysis communicate at close to the speed of natural conversation, reliably, from a device that works for years.

Communication rate: 62 words min⁻¹ now, target 160 words min⁻¹ (0.4 orders of magnitude) · 1 open gap · not assessed

Long-lived neural electrodes

proposed

Implanted electrodes that record the activity of many neurons with stable signal quality for many years, without damaging tissue or being rejected by the body.
