2. World’s first commercial brain chip NEO gets approval
- On June 15, China approved the world’s brain chip ‘NEO’. This is the first chip, which can be used for commercial use.
- NEO is the world’s first commercially approved brain-computer interface (BCI) chip.
- NEO has been jointly developed by Beijing’s Tsinghua University and Shanghai-based Neural Technology.
- The first version of the NEO chip is primarily designed to help patients who are suffering from spinal cord injury and paralysis.
- The NEO device will help such patients regain control over some parts of their nervous system.
- This chip will read people’s brain signals and convert them into digital commands.
- NEO is a coin-sized implant. It consists of 8 electrodes, which are placed on the protective membrane (dura mater) located over the brain.
- With the help of these commands, patients can control the robotic glove or other assistive devices.
- According to experts, there is less risk of bleeding and cell damage in implanting NEO, hence it has been approved.
- Apart from paralysis, this technology can improve the lives of millions of people suffering from brain and nerve related diseases like Parkinson’s, epilepsy, stroke and depression.
- More than 36 tests of the NEO chip have been conducted since October 2023.
- Elon Musk’s company has also made ‘Neuralink’ brain chip, but it has not been approved yet.
brain-computer interface
- Brain-computer interface is a technology that enables direct communication between the human brain and external devices (such as a computer, robotic arm, or wheelchair).
- In simple language, when we think about something, electrical signals are generated in the brain.
- The BCI device reads these signals and converts them into digital commands.
- With the help of signals, the patient can operate a computer or machine only by thinking without moving his hands and legs.
