A New Kind of Brain-Computer Interface Moves Toward Human Trials

[mendez]

Science Corporation is preparing for its first human trials of a next-generation brain-computer interface, bringing in top neurobiologist Murat Günel to lead the effort. The company, founded by Max Hodak, is taking a different approach from traditional implants by combining biology and electronics into a “biohybrid” system.

Unlike existing devices that rely on metal electrodes inserted into the brain, Science aims to use lab-grown neurons to create a more natural connection between the brain and technology. The first step in trials will involve placing a small sensor on the surface of the brain—without penetrating tissue—to test safety and performance in real patients.

This approach could mark a major shift in how brain-computer interfaces are developed. By reducing damage caused by invasive implants, the technology may offer a safer and more sustainable path toward treating neurological conditions and enhancing human-computer interaction.

Non invasive approach sounds way safer.

Lab grown neurons is crazy tech.

[BrutalAge*gofast]

This could change everything in medicine.

Feels like a big step forward.

[bred]

Human trials will be huge moment.

[Suzukispeedtest]

Less damage more potential is key.

[059d96d16a]

Biohybrid concept is really interesting

[ChewBeast]

Still a bit scary but exciting

If this works it’s a breakthrough.

[GummyBear]

Much better than traditional implants.

[UndeadBeastMonkeykiller]

Curious how scalable this becomes
