China Approves Brain Chip

China becomes the first country to approve a brain chip, NEO, by Neuracle Medical Technology, to assist individuals with paralysis.
The NEO chip translates thoughts into movements for a robotic hand, approved for adults 19 to 60 after 18 months of safety testing.
The approval aligns with China's plan to mass-produce non-invasive brain-computer interface devices and strengthen its industry.
Neuralink and others have not yet received similar regulatory approval.
