"Mr. Chen, this is our brain-computer interface device," said Chang Liyun, the CEO of Ji Nao Technology, as he took Chen Yiyang on a tour of their laboratory.
"So small?" Chen Yiyang was surprised upon seeing the actual device.
He thought that the newly researched brain-computer interface technology would be quite large and inconvenient to use.
But what appeared before him were a few small items, one so thin it was almost invisible, and another the size of a beer bottle cap.
"These two are the electrode and the neural signal decoder, respectively," explained Chang Liyun to Chen Yiyang.
Reference images of the neural decoder and ultra-flexible electrode.
"The diameter of the ultra-flexible electrode is only one percent that of a hair strand, yet its flexibility is a hundred times stronger than a hair strand.
The reason for making the neural decoder so small is primarily to avoid placing these objects directly into the brain.
