CorTec Announces Successful Second Human Implantation of Its BCI System
Summary
CorTec announced the successful second human implantation of its Brain Interchange BCI system, following the first implantation in July 2025. The procedure took place under an FDA IDE and evaluates whether direct cortical electrical stimulation can enhance upper-limb motor recovery in stroke patients. The system wirelessly connects to external hardware with no cables.
Why it matters
The second successful implantation builds clinical evidence for CorTec's wireless BCI platform and demonstrates the reproducibility of the surgical procedure. This advance brings Germany closer to having a commercially viable implantable BCI for stroke rehabilitation, one of the largest unmet needs in neurology.
