GoKawiilParadromics' wireless brain implant lets Michigan woman speak again
Neurotech startup Paradromics reported that a 68-year-old woman with severe speech loss used its Connexus brain-computer interface to hold real-time conversations, including phone calls with her grandchildren. Surgeons implanted the 400-plus-electrode device at University of Michigan Health in June as the first case in a clinical trial, with the system wirelessly converting brain activity into a computer-generated voice.
