Synchron is developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). They use minimally invasive methods compared to earlier BCIs and focus on clinical applications for people with paralysis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (for letting them control devices with thought power). It installs its Stentrode implant to the brain with a catheter through blood vessels (without opening the skull). It has fewer electrodes than Neuralink's one and enables the link only in one direction - from the brain to the computer, but it's safer and compatible with existing medical technologies. The first successful human use was in 2019.
