Neurosurgeon with engineering background implants Paradromics' first long-term brain chip
By
Lloyd Lee
Summary
Dr. Matthew Willsey, a neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan Health, describes how his background as an electrical engineer led him to implant Paradromics' first long-term brain-computer interface in a patient. The article explores the intersection of engineering and medicine in the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), detailing the surgical procedure, the technology behind Paradromics' implant, and the potential future applications for patients with severe neurological conditions.
