Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Neurotech startup Paradromics implanted its brain-computer interface in a human for the first time on May 14. The patient was already undergoing neurosurgery to treat epilepsy. The brain-computer interface was implanted and removed from the patient's brain in about 20 minutes during that surgery. The procedure demonstrated that Paradromics' system can be safely implanted and record neural activity. The startup plans to kick off a clinical trial later this year to study the long-term safety and use of its technology in humans.
