A neurotech company called Paradromics made headlines by successfully implanting its brain-computer interface (BCI) in a human for the first time.

The procedure happened at the University of Michigan during a patient's routine epilepsy surgery.

With this milestone, the company is moving from research to clinical trials, aiming to test the long-term safety and everyday use of their device in people.

Later this year , Paradromics plans to start a clinical trial for people with severe movement problems from conditions like ALS , spinal cord injury or stroke.

The goal is to help them communicate independently using digital devices.

The ability to communicate and interact with the world in new ways is closer than ever.
