Precision Neuroscience has closed an oversubscribed $250M Series D, co-led by @PershingSquare Capital Management, The Ackman Oxman Institute, and a leading life sciences investment fund. Total raised: ~$430M. But the financing is only part of the story. Precision now has completed 100+ procedures across 18 major medical institutions. Building BCI requires more than an interface. It requires clinical infrastructure. Since our last financing @PrecisionNeuro_ has also: - Received @FDA clearance for Layer 7™ - Expanded peer-review clinical research - Partnered with @Medtronic - Expanded U.S. MEMS manufacturing The next phase of BCI will be defined not only by what the technology can do in a laboratory. It will be defined by whether companies can build the clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing infrastructure required to bring it to patients. This funding will support: - Expanded clinical work - Additional FDA review - Commercialization infrastructure Read the full news release here: globenewswire.com/news-relea… @BillAckman @PershingSquare @BCapitalGroup, @ARKInvest, @MubadalaCapital, @MiraeAsset, @Hitachi Ventures. Precision’s brain-computer interface is an investigational device and is not available for sale in the United States.

“The experience of controlling a computer with my thoughts, moving a cursor around the screen and playing games, was mind-blowing”. That’s how Jasaun Knight described his first experience operating a computer using only his thoughts and @PrecisionNeuro_'s Layer 7 cortical interface in a new @FinancialTimes article. Jasaun is one of fewer than 200 people worldwide to have been implanted with a brain-computer interface (BCI) — neurotech that detects neural activity and translates it into digital commands. Jasaun’s experience is a powerful reminder of why we’re advancing this technology: not simply to understand the brain, but to help people regain independence, communication, and connection. It’s an exciting glimpse into a future where the boundary between the brain and technology could look very different — and where innovations in BCI tech may help people with paralysis interact with the digital world around them in entirely new ways. The @FT article takes a closer look at the companies advancing BCI tech and the different approaches they’re taking, highlighting @PrecisionNeuro_'s development of minimally invasive, thin, flexible interfaces designed to sit on the surface of the brain, capturing neural signals without penetrating brain tissue.

A fresh look at the future of brain-computer interfaces. A new feature from @CENmag explores the different approaches researchers and companies are taking to develop Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)—including Precision Neuroscience’s Layer 7 Cortical Interface, designed to sit on the surface of the brain and record neural signals without penetrating brain tissue. Vanessa Tolosa, @PrecisionNeuro_'s Senior Vice President of Research & Development Operations, shares how the company’s surface-based approach could help reduce the body’s foreign-body response while still capturing meaningful brain signals. “It’s almost like we have this cheat code.” The article also highlights an important question for the field: How deep does an electrode really need to go? At Precision Neuroscience, we’re continuing to explore what’s possible from the brain’s surface—and how a minimally invasive approach could ultimately make BCIs more accessible to the people who could benefit from them. Read the full article below to learn more about the technologies shaping the future of BCIs. cen.acs.org/biological-chemi…

“Mental health. This does not get enough attention in conversations about BCI. The World Health Organization estimates that roughly one in eight people worldwide—close to a billion people—live with a mental health disorder. For many of these conditions, such as treatment-resistant depression, the current therapies are simply inadequate. … What is changing now is Precision. Our system can decode signals related to a person’s emotional state, and we believe that in the coming years we can make a meaningful difference in how refractory depression is diagnosed and treated”. Taken from a recent interview with @RebellionAI, @PrecisionNeuro Co-Founder & CEO Michael Mager discusses the expanding potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) beyond restoring communication and movement. The conversation explores the future of high-resolution BCIs, how minimally invasive neural interfaces could transform medicine, the engineering challenges of scaling neural technology, the role of AI in decoding brain signals, and what the next decade may hold for patients, clinicians, researchers, and the broader neuroscience community.

“It’s helpful to think about BCI as a communication tool. Like any communication device, bandwidth matters. What you can do with a 56K modem, maybe chat on AOL, is very different from what you can do with a fiber optic connection, @Netflix. It’s the same thing in BCI. Very low electrode count systems are able to enable a click on a computer mouse, maybe a few directions on a cursor. What our system is designed to enable is rich control of sophisticated applications, whether it’s photo editing, or productivity software. Our bar is really to meet and eventually exceed what people who are able bodied do with a computer or a digital device”. Taken from a new interview with @Cheddar, Chris Castellino sits down with @PrecisionNeuro_ CEO & Co-Founder @Michael_MagerNY for an inside look at the future of brain-computer interfaces. The feature takes viewers inside the Precision lab, offering a detailed look at how our Layer 7 BCI is designed and built — including an in-depth overview of the Layer 7 array itself and how its 1,024 electrodes work together to capture neural activity at high resolution. The conversation also explores why Precision built our own supply chain from the ground up to manufacture our BCIs — a critical step in scaling this technology for the future.

Brain-computer interfaces are no longer science fiction. A recent article from @Bloomberg by @IkeSwetlitz, @SarithaRai, and @AmberTongPW explores how quickly the BCI field is evolving. One of the key themes in the piece is the contrast between brain penetrating and non-penetrating BCIs, along with the different approaches emerging companies are taking to advance the technology. The article also highlights an important milestone for Precision Neuroscience: receiving @FDA clearance in 2025 for our minimally invasive, non-penetrating BCI designed to record, monitor, and stimulate brain activity. @PrecisionNeuro_'s technology has already been implanted in close to 90 patients through clinical studies — a strong signal of how rapidly this field is advancing. Exciting to see the conversation around BCIs shifting from “someday” to real-world impact today. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
