"Control with thoughts" iPad to send and receive messages

[Rina123RS]

Synchron uses human-machine interface to control iPad, which is divided into three steps: implantation, interpretation and control:

First, a "signal sensor" (the stent electrode recording array The stentrode) is implanted in the patient's brain to receive the patient's brain "information"; then the device is used to interpret the signal the patient wants to express (software brain.io); Finally, use signals to control the iPad.

The most critical implantation operation is also divided into three steps, a bit like installing a stent on the heart:

First, a puncture is made and a catheter is placed.

Under ultrasound guidance, it is necessary to first observe the internal jugular vein, puncture it at the appropriate location, and then guide the catheter through the participant's jugular vein to the superior sagittal sinus under visualization with digital subtraction technology (DSA).

Then, a catheter is used to "transport" the signal sensor.

This step is to pre-install the signal sensor into the delivery ivory coast telegram sheath, then inject physiological saline to advance it inside the guide catheter until the signal sensor is unsheathed and fixed in the correct position.

Finally, the guide catheter is removed to stop bleeding and implantation is completed. After 14 days of cell growth, the electrode will finally fuse with the brain blood vessel wall.

The signal sensor here has a total of 16 electrodes, distributed along the circumference on a nickel-titanium alloy bracket. After implantation, it receives brain signals from the patient.

Here The stentrode will be connected to a small device called "Synchron Switch", which is implanted under the user's chest skin and can transmit wireless brain signals to an external signal receiver at any time.
