High-performance invasive brain-computer interface nears clinical validation stage

As for the role of artificial intelligence in brain research, Li said there is a mutual promotion and integration relation between them.

"The reason we talk about BCI industry right now lies in artificial intelligence's role in neural coding and decoding. It's quite helpful," Li said.

Li added BCI offers a new perspective in brain research.

"As there are more and more data on BCI research, it will deepen our understanding on brain operation and promote artificial intelligence to evolve from 'information artificial intelligence' like large language model, to embodied artificial intelligence, like autonomous driving. Ultimately, at the brain-computer interface level, we see the potential for a true fusion of artificial intelligence and biological intelligence," Li said.
