What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Too early to adopt

Why
Compelling differentiated approach (functional ultrasound, multi-region read+write) with real ARIA funding and an NHS trial, but it is pre-clinical-evidence, restricted to craniectomy patients, and the implant is unbuilt — nothing adoptable, only a frontier signal to monitor.
Next
Watch for first-in-human safety data from the BHR Hospitals / University of Plymouth trial (recruitment late 2025) and any peer-reviewed functional-ultrasound neuromodulation results.
