Chinese Researchers Achieve Breakthrough: Aphasic Patient Outputs Chinese Language via Semi-Invasive Brain-Machine Interface

Chinese researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, enabling an aphasic patient to output Chinese language. * The full cortical BMI implantations were performed by a Chinese research team specializing in semi-invasive BMIs. * The implantations also allowed paralyzed patients to control computers and robotic arms. * The NeuCyber Matrix BMI System, developed by CIBR and NeuCyber, uses a thin, flexible nano-fabricated film microelectrode. * The device features a 128-channel flux and a compact micro-circuit for recording and processing electrocorticography signals. * Clinical evidence showed over 98% of BMI channels remained functional after surgery. * This marks the first time an aphasic patient has been able to output Chinese language using a semi-invasive BMI system, restoring communication abilities.
