As Stroke Awareness Month comes to an end, we’d like to remind everyone about the vital role we all play in recognizing the signs and symptoms of stroke, and the importance of responding quickly. On average, 1.9 million brain cells die every minute that a stroke goes untreated. B.E.F.A.S.T, and call emergency services. #StrokeAwarenessMonth Betty Howard #StrokeSurvivor www.strongerthanstroke.com Precision Neuroscience #StrokePrevention

I am proud to announce Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Precision Neuroscience, as our next speaker in our conference series. Dr. Rapoport co-founded Neuralink with Elon Musk; he not only obtained his MD from Harvard Medical School Department of Biomedical Informatics and pursued a residency in Neurosurgery, but has his Master's in Mathematics from University of Oxford and PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our team met with Dr. Rapoport's team several months ago and they shared our excitement in having Dr. Rapoport present his insights and groundbreaking work at the Expo. We're fortunate to have someone with his pedigree and knowledge participate at our conference. - Neilank K. Jha, MD, FRCS(C), MSc, MBA, Conference Chair

“Think about the idea of planting a device that can change the outcome of diseases like ALS, stroke, traumatic brain injury—so many things that we think are previously utterly untreatable...” - Kenneth L. Davis, MD, Executive Vice Chair, Board of Trustees, Mount Sinai Health System, introducing a panel at the Aspen Ideas Festival on the “Brain–Computer Interface Revolution.” Much of that revolution is taking place at Mount Sinai in New York City, where both Precision Neuroscience’s Benjamin Rapoport and Synchron’s Thomas Oxley are members of a groundbreaking neurosurgery department led by Dr. Joshua Bederson.

"It used to be thought that you needed to put needle-like electrodes into the brain surface in order to listen to signals of adequate quality” to interface with computers, Dr. Benjamin Rapoport recently told Ars Technica. Today, Precision Neuroscience is proving that assumption wrong. Check out the full article about “the brain-chip maker taking the road less invasive," in which Beth Mole explains how Precision’s approach differs from competing BCI strategies.

Great report from Ashley Capoot at CNBC on a recent clinical case testing Precision Neuroscience’s brain-computer interface (BCI), which is designed to help patients with severe paralysis, restoring functions like speech and movement. Ashley was in the operating room at Mount Sinai Health System as surgeons implanted 4 Precision microelectrode arrays on a patient’s brain, streaming cortical data from over 4,000 channels—a new world record. The team was able to detect signals from the patient’s individual fingers. Her story breaks down what high resolution neural data like this could mean for medicine and vividly conveys what it feels like to be in the room as scientific history is being made. Give it a read:
In April, I got to watch the Precision Neuroscience team test its technology during a brain surgery at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. Precision is a three-year-old startup building a brain-computer interface, or a BCI, that could eventually help patients with severe paralysis restore functions like speech and movement. This procedure marked the 14th time that Precision has implanted its array on a human patient’s brain, and the company notched some new milestones. Its technology detected signals from the patients' individual fingers, and it set a record for the highest number of electrodes to ever be placed on the brain in real-time. There's a lot that goes into testing a new medical device, and Precision still has work to do before it achieves some of its loftier goals. Even so, this surgery was a good example of the "baby steps" it takes to get there. Many thanks to Precision, Mount Sinai and the patient for letting me observe!
