- China's brain chip breakthrough raises big questions
China has approved a brain-computer interface called NEO for commercial medical use to help patients with spinal cord injuries control devices via thought. Developed by Tsinghua University and Neuracle Technology, the implant sits on the brain's protective layer, offering a less invasive design compared to deeper implants like Neuralink's. The technology raises questions about data privacy and security.
- China has approved the world’s first invasive brain-computer chip—here’s what’s next
