The semi-invasive brain-computer interface system NEO, developed by BrrainCo and Tsinghua University, has been approved for market in China and enabled a 36-year-old patient with high-level spinal cord injury to grasp and write after implantation. As of March 2026, 36 clinical surgeries have been performed. This represents a major breakthrough in neural engineering and medical rehabilitation, offering a practical solution for quadriplegic patients to regain motor functions. It also demonstrates China's growing capability in brain-computer interface technology, potentially reshaping the global competitive landscape. The NEO system is semi-invasive: a coin-sized device is implanted under the dura mater without directly contacting brain tissue, capturing signals wirelessly. It uses near-field wireless power and communication, so the implanted unit has no internal battery and can last a lifetime.
