With this China became the second country in the world after the United States to progress invasive BCI technology to the stage of clinical trials, news agency WAM reported citing a report by China Central Television (CCTV). This invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) system, independently developed by Chinese scientists for clinical use, is only the size of a coin and is implanted in a thinned area of the skull. After semiconductor processing, each electrode tip integrates 32 microscopic sensors capable of precisely detecting faint neural activity within brain tissue. This represents the world's smallest and most flexible neural electrode to date, the centre said.
