Actuated Medical, Inc. was proud to host a PA rep round table on growing rural PA's economy. https://lnkd.in/eeVNtEBN
Glad to be supporting researchers achieve better data.
New findings published in Nature Communications (Nature Portfolio) from Associate Professor of Bioengineering TK Kozai and Actuated Medical, Inc. help measure human brain activity more efficiently by using ultrasound technology to prevent glial scarring- opening doors for treating nervous system injuries and improving bio-inspired artificial intelligence. 🧠 Read more about how Kozai's team, supported by the The National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative®, developed an innovative strategy for boosting brain implant biocompatibility: https://lnkd.in/g8aiJ5Pn
proud to be helping researchers achieve better data.
One of the challenges with Brain Computer Interface is the brain's inflammatory reaction to foreign bodies. The University of Texas at Dallas Neural Interfaces Lab developed ultrathin electrodes, 8 µm, to minimize this response, but very fine electrodes are difficult to insert. With the NeuralGlider Inserter, they were able to implant 4 shank, 16 channel electrodes, which lasted up to 15 weeks in the brain during this preclinical study. https://bit.ly/4eZq8pl Thanks to Justin Abbott, Pegah Haghighi, Joseph Pancrazio, Stuart Cogan, Joshua Usoro, PhD, Brandon Sturgill, Ana G.

So excited to see this great work published in Nature Communications. It was a pleasure working with TK Kozai and his team. Looking forward to future collaborations helping researchers understand the brain to one day provide better treatments for neurological conditions.
Our first Ultrasound gliomodulation paper is out in Nature Communications "Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation(LIPUS) modulates microglial activation following intracortical microelectrode implantation" We show that LIPUS at the implantation injury site helps microglia repair injury, improve device-brain integration and improve electrophysiological performance. https://rdcu.be/dMoFV

1yThe biggest determinant of startup survival is persistence in the face of disbelief and even outright negativity. Especially when you are starting out. When I started talking about the potential benefits of brain computer interface (BCI) provided neurofeedback therapy back in 2014 with my research colleagues they didn't understand and saw no potential in the tech. When I founded Cortex Technologies PTY LTD in 2018 people told me I was crazy to try and build novel hardware because "hardware is hard". When we won the Bionics Gamechangers Australia challenge (at the time called Bionics QLD Challenge) it marked a major turning point. We are still building and completing our headset hardware but it is so close I feel like I can reach out and touch the ideas I had back in 2014. The evolution of our ideas since then has been massive! We imagined needing the tools of LLM's to process our 3D brain data but the tools themselves didn't exist in a usable form until recently. It feels like a perfect convergence of the market for BCI's expanding rapidly from 5% CAGR only a short few years ago to now up into the 25% CAGR range and the market size expanding from ~$8B to $20B+. Lining up with the nearing completion of our first full BCI headset.
