Brain-Computer Interface World

Every active BCI program on Earth — implants, EEG, fMRI hybrids, with channel counts and clinical milestones.

BCIs went from research curio to clinical reality in five years. Neuralink, Synchron, Precision Neuroscience, Paradromics, BlackRock, BrainGate — and a dozen non-invasive vendors. BCI World tracks active programs, channel counts, recipient counts, clinical-trial phase, and the quiet milestone every implant aims for: typing speed equivalent to a hearing person.

For researchers: the live competitive map. For neurology patients: the realistic horizon. For everyone else: the medium of the next century, being installed now.
