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.

60 million people in the world have lost walking ability. 17 million are children affected by a number of neurological diseases. While wheelchair bounded, they suffer from a number of physiological and psychological side effects. Their quality of life could be largely improved if walking could be repaired, restored or rehabilitated. Marsi Bionics works towards this goal.
