Early study: ultrasound BCI improves 13 of 24 patients

Researchers in Shenzhen presented a noninvasive ultrasound brain-computer interface. In an early study involving patients with chronic disorders of consciousness, 13 of 24 showed improvement.

Early study: ultrasound BCI improves 13 of 24 patients

Key points

  • The experimental interface uses ultrasound rather than implanted sensors.
  • Thirteen of 24 patients with chronic disorders of consciousness improved.
  • The findings come from an early study and are not presented as a definitive result.

Context

SIAT and partner researchers demonstrated the interface in Shenzhen. The study involved 24 patients and represents an early-stage development in brain-computer-interface research.
