He spent a decade making electrodes softer, thinner and easier to deploy. Now the Swiss engineer behind Neurosoft Bioelectronics is building a company around a deceptively simple idea: the best interface with the brain may be the one that behaves least like a machine.
Neurosoft Bioelectronics built a stretchable brain interface up to 100,000 times softer than the metal grids surgeons use today - and put a 64-channel version on the cortex of epilepsy patients. Here is how an EPFL lab experiment became a $20 million bet on reading the brain without carving into it.
