Precision - Model Layer 7 - Cortical Interface Microelectrode Array
The Layer 7 Cortical Interface by Precision is an advanced microelectrode array system designed to interface with the brain's cortical surface for brain-computer interface (BCI) applications. This system is comprised of thin film microelectrode arrays engineered for a minimally invasive implantation that conforms to the brain's surface without causing tissue damage. Utilizing a patented insertion method, the array boasts thousands of channels that can be strategically placed across the brain's cortex. Designed for flexibility and modular scalability, these arrays allow for reversible surgeries that are both fast and precise. With each array containing 1024 electrodes, ranging from 50 to 380 microns in diameter, the device enables both recording and stimulation of neural data with high resolution akin to transitioning from a standard to high-definition visual experience. Furthermore, the system incorporates machine learning algorithms to translate neural signals into computable data, offering bidirectional interfacing capabilities. Currently, this investigational device is not available for sale in the United States.
When the brain processes information or initiates an action, it generates electrical signals. Our thin film technology can capture these signals at micron scale, providing an unprecedented view into the brain’s activity. Think of the leap from standard television feeds to high-definition.
Each microelectrode array comprises 1024 electrodes ranging in diameter from 50 to 380 microns, connected to a customized hardware interface.
- Array is 1/5th the thickness of a human hair.
- The slit for insertion is less than 1mm thickness.
- Array has 600x greater electrode density than standard cortical arrays.
- Slit insertion method will deliver more than 50 electrodes per second.
A modular system of flexible microelectrodes designed for minimally invasive and reversible surgery
Advanced brain–computer interfaces require collecting and processing large amounts of neural data, potentially spanning multiple brain regions. Our Layer 7 Cortical Interface provides these capabilities while prioritizing patient safety.
Minimally Invasive : Our surgical technique will allow us to implant electrode arrays on the brain’s surface with a simple, fast procedure. The surgery is designed to be reversible.
Flexible : Our electrode arrays are engineered to conform to the cortical surface.
Modular : Multiple arrays can be combined to cover large regions of the brain.
Cutting-edge : We're developing machine learning software to translate neural data into computer code.
Bidirectional : Electrodes can both record and stimulate, allowing precise communication with the brain.
