Synchron
Unlocking the natural highways of the brain.
Overview
Synchron is a neurotechnology company that is pioneering a new form of brain-computer interface. Their flagship product, the Stentrode, is a small, stent-like device that can be implanted in a blood vessel in the brain without the need for open-brain surgery. Once in place, it can record brain activity and allow individuals with severe paralysis to control computers and other devices with their thoughts. While primarily focused on paralysis, this technology represents a significant advance in neurology.
