What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Genuine novel technology now in a human safety trial, but explicitly research-only, no FDA path, unresolved physics, and recording still requires invasive placement — far from a deployable interface.
Next
Monitor the ARIA/NHS safety trial (~30 craniectomy patients, started March 2025) for first published safety and signal-quality results before any consideration.
