Unlike Neuralink, which is the highest profile company in the space, Synchron doesn’t require brain surgery. Instead it implants its so-called Stentrode into a vein in the neck, relying on blood vessels to take it to the top of the motor cortex in the brain. Patients then use the device to manipulate outside implements, such as computer cursors, via their thoughts.
