The device is intended for patients aged 18 to 60. Dong Hui, 39, who is paralyzed from the neck down, was able to write his own name again after 11 months of training. He noted that on the ninth day of training, he was able to pick up a ball without a glove. Avinash Singh, a researcher at the University of Technology Sydney, explained that the rapid approval of NEO is due to its less-invasive design, as its sensors do not penetrate the cerebral cortex. The device has already been included in the country’s insurance system. China supports the development of the BCI field within its national five-year plan, while the approval of the next project, Beinao-1, is planned for 2028.
