Synchron's Stentrode is a brain-computer interface delivered via blood vessels — no open brain surgery required. The stent-mounted electrode array is inserted through the jugular vein and positioned in the motor cortex, enabling paralyzed patients to text, email, and shop online using thought alone. Synchron received FDA IDE approval ahead of Neuralink and has implanted 10+ patients across the US and Australia.
