AIMPACT News, May 12 (UTC+8), Juan Benet’s second episode of the new podcast is now live, featuring guest Ben Rapoport, co-founder of Precision Neuroscience. Precision Neuroscience is developing a minimally invasive brain-machine interface Layer 7, which is implanted through a 1-millimeter slit in the skull and can read information from thousands of cortical points without penetrating brain tissue and can be completely removed. The device aims to help 5 million severely paralyzed patients in the U.S. and 800k new stroke cases annually. In March 2025, the temporary wired version received FDA approval, with over 85 patients implanted in clinical studies, and a wireless implantation plan scheduled for release in 2027. Rapoport, who co-founded Neuralink and Simbionics, currently serves as an assistant professor of neurosurgery and scientific director at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The podcast also discusses the history of neurotechnology development, trends in surface ECoG technology, and the future potential of neural data.
