Girl with epilepsy gets novel implant in Guangzhou

"In the future, brain-computer interface technologies could be used not only for epilepsy treatment but also for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, stroke and autism by simply adjusting the stimulation patterns," Guo said.

China has placed great emphasis on the development of brain-computer interface technologies.

A safe and reliable industrial system will be established in the country by 2030, according to an implementation plan on promoting the innovative development of the brain-computer interface industry, issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments in July.
