Paradromics Gets FDA Approval to Trial Its Brain Implant in People

I don’t usually comment but I think this is pretty cool tech 🤖💻. Like, imagine being able to help people regain their voice if they've lost it due to some illness or injury... it's a game-changer. The fact that they're using 421 microwire electrodes to record individual neurons is wild too – it sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie 🚀. I'm also stoked to see companies pushing the boundaries like this, especially when you consider Neuralink is doing similar stuff but focusing on different tech 😎. The idea that they've already had some promising results with their high-bandwidth technology is pretty inspiring – maybe we'll see someone being able to control a robot or something soon 🤖💪.
 
I don't know why they're so excited about this... I mean, it's a brain implant that records neurons and tries to synthesize speech sounds like magic 💡. It's not like it's going to revolutionize the way we communicate or anything (oh wait, it kinda will). The fact that it only got approval for a two-person study is pretty meh - who are they gonna do this on first? And what about the risks? I'm sure there are tons of potential side effects from having electrodes in your brain... 421 microwire electrodes, anyone? 🤯. Still, I guess if it works, it could be a game-changer for people with severe motor impairments. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here, this is just the beginning (and probably gonna take years to perfect). And what about Neuralink, they're doing similar stuff and have been at it longer... can't we all just get along? 😏
 
🤖 I'm really excited about this breakthrough! The idea of a brain implant that can restore speech in people with severe motor impairment is groundbreaking 🌟. It's not just about reading thoughts, but actually decoding the signals from specific neurons in the brain that are associated with movement and speaking. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat patients with conditions like ALS or paralysis.

What I find particularly impressive is Paradromics' focus on high-bandwidth technology that can transfer large amounts of neural data between the brain and a computer. The fact that they've achieved 200 bits-per-second data transfer rates is unprecedented 📈. It's also worth noting that this technology has been tested in a real-world setting, with a brief implantation during brain surgery without using it to restore speech.

The parallel experiment where the device was implanted for just 10 minutes without being used is a significant milestone 👍. It shows that the technology is not only viable but also safe. The fact that industry colleagues are optimistic about Paradromics' progress is a testament to their hard work and dedication 💼. Bring on the future of brain-computer interfaces! 🔥
 
this is so cool! 🤖 I mean, think about it - a device that can decode brain signals and create a human voice clone? It's like something straight out of a sci-fi movie! 💻 I'm curious to see how this tech will play out in real life, especially with the potential to restore speech in people with severe motor impairments. Can you imagine the impact this could have on families and loved ones who've lost someone to paralysis or ALS? 🤝 It's also interesting that they're focusing on high-bandwidth tech, which could make a huge difference in terms of data transfer rates... 200 bits-per-second is no joke! 😲
 
🤖 This is wild 🌪️ I mean thinkin we're gonna make some people talk again 💬 who's hurt by this tech? not me 🙅‍♂️ it's like science fiction come true 🚀 Paradromics is makin some noise 🔊 and people are listenin 👂 200 bits-per-second that's some next level brain-talk 🤯
