The ability to interface with digital devices and the Internet is a requirement for functioning in an increasingly digital society. Unfortunately, the input systems that are currently available to many people with quadriplegia often fail to meet their needs, leading to decreased engagement in society and increased dependency on others.
Our implant is designed to establish a wireless, digital link between the brain and computers to potentially provide individuals with paralysis the same reliable control over smart devices as able-bodied individuals have (if not better).
This study aims to validate the safety and usefulness of our implant and surgical robot - an important step towards shaping the future of assistive technologies that will potentially help millions of people around the world suffering from quadriplegia and other neurological conditions.

The PRIME Study (short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface) – a groundbreaking investigational medical device trial for our fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) – aims to evaluate the safety of our implant and surgical robot, and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with quadriplegia to control external devices with their thoughts.
This study involves placing a small, cosmetically invisible implant in a part of the brain that plans movements. The device is designed to interpret a person’s neural activity, so they can operate a computer or smartphone by simply intending to move – no wires or physical movement are required.
This research will be the first of its kind to be performed in people and may help us find safer, more effective ways to implant and use our BCI to potentially restore and enhance computer control and other capabilities.
