"Science Corporation is preparing to place a pea-sized, 520-electrode sensor on a human brain's surface during already-scheduled surgery. The device will rest on top of the cortex, recording neural activity from the surface while a neurosurgeon operates for an unrelated condition."
"Murat Günel, chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine, will lead the programme. His approach is to identify patients who already require significant cranial surgery, such as stroke victims needing a craniectomy."
"Science Corp has also developed PRIMA, a retinal implant that restored vision in 38 patients, with CE mark approval expected by mid-2026. The company has raised $230M in Series C funding, achieving a total valuation of $1.5B."
Science Corporation, founded by Max Hodak, is set to place a pea-sized sensor with 520 electrodes on the brain's surface during surgeries. Led by Murat Günel, trials may begin in 2027. The company also has a retinal implant, PRIMA, which restored vision in 38 patients and is awaiting CE mark approval. Science Corp raised $230M in Series C funding, achieving a $1.5B valuation. The sensor will be placed opportunistically during surgeries for unrelated conditions, minimizing additional risks for patients.
