BCI
We build advanced brain-computer interface technology, translating neural signals into impactful actions.
The platform
Brain Interchange is a fully implantable, bidirectional BCI: it reads the brain's activity and responds in near real time — a closed loop between sensing and stimulation, guided by the brain's own signals. It is built as a platform, not a single-purpose device — one system designed to be directed at more than one neurological condition over time.
FDA recognition
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Brain Interchange two Breakthrough Device Designations, one for therapeutic cortical stimulation to support motor recovery after chronic ischemic stroke, and one for its communication application. It has also been accepted into the FDA's Total Product Life Cycle Advisory Program (TAP). Brain Interchange is among the very few neurotech systems worldwide to hold more than one Breakthrough Device Designation, and CorTec is among the first European implantable BCI companies with an FDA-authorized clinical trial in the US.*
*Under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE).
Where we start: motor recovery after stroke
Brain Interchange is entering the clinic as an investigational device for chronic ischemic stroke, designed to support motor recovery where standard rehabilitation reaches its limit. Stroke leaves many people with lasting motor impairment — often a weakened arm or hand — a large and underserved group. Stroke is where we begin, not where we intend to stop: the platform is built to reach further neurological conditions.
Publications
Preliminary findings from our clinical work are taking shape. As the program advances, this is where we'll share what the data shows.
Build on our technology
The technology behind Brain Interchange is the same technology we bring to partners developing their own active implants — from a single component to a complete device.
The Brain Interchange System is an investigational device and is not approved for commercial use. CAUTION — Investigational device. Limited by United States law to investigational use.
