Precision Neuroscience partners with Medtronic to integrate Layer 7 BCI with StealthStation surgical navigation
Summary
Precision Neuroscience announced a strategic partnership with Medtronic in January 2026 to co-develop an integrated system combining the Layer 7 cortical interface with Medtronic's StealthStation surgical navigation platform. The integration will give neurosurgeons real-time functional brain mapping alongside the structural navigation they already use during cranial procedures, creating a BCI-enhanced intraoperative workflow embedded into existing hospital infrastructure.
Why it matters
Big MedTech partnering with a BCI startup signals the field is crossing from experimental to mainstream surgical infrastructure. Medtronic's StealthStation is used in thousands of hospitals globally — integrating Layer 7 real-time cortical mapping into that installed base gives Precision immediate access to the world's largest neurosurgical distribution network without a standalone commercial buildout.
