China just approved the world’s first commercial brain implant. The race with Neuralink is no longer theoretical.
SMRTR summary
China has approved the world's first commercial brain implant, a coin-sized device called NEO, developed by Shanghai-based NeuraMatrix, beating Neuralink to market. NEO sits on the brain's protective membrane and lets paralyzed patients control a robotic glove using only their thoughts. Meanwhile, no brain implant has received commercial approval in the U.S., where Neuralink and others are still in research trials, making this a growing geopolitical technology race.
