Brain-Computer Interface Startup Coherence Neuro Tests Cancer-Detecting Implant in Three Human Patients
By
Emily Mullin
Summary
Coherence Neuro, a San Francisco startup with ties to Elon Musk's Neuralink, has begun human testing of a brain-computer interface designed to detect and treat brain cancer. The coin-sized implant was temporarily placed in three patients undergoing brain tumor removal surgery at Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia for about 30 minutes as a safety check. The device aims to eventually be implanted long-term to sense cancerous activity and potentially use electrical stimulation to prevent tumor growth.
