China has carried out the world’s first commercial surgery using an invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device approved earlier this year, marking a major milestone in the country’s efforts to advance neurotechnology and compete with companies such as Neuralink.⁣
⁣
Surgeons in Shanghai implanted a coin-sized brain chip in a patient who lost hand mobility following a spinal cord injury sustained in a car accident a decade ago. The procedure was performed at Huashan Hospital and successfully captured stable, high-quality epidural brain signals. The patient is reported to be recovering well, with vital signs remaining stable.⁣
⁣
While brain implants have previously been limited largely to clinical trials and controlled research settings, this procedure represents a significant step toward commercial deployment of BCI technology and its potential use in restoring function for people with severe neurological injuries.⁣
