The "brain tiger science technique" of BMI technology development that connects the brain and machine is expected to expand demand due to financing, aging and brain disease

Brain Machine Interface (BMI) technology development, "Neuroxess," has raised 97 million yuan (about 1,75 billion yen) in Angel Round and the pre -series A. Lead Investor is "Sequoia Capital China Seed Fund", and Ko Investor is "Yonghua Capital", "New Alliance Capital", and "Brain Satoshi" Sogen. " The BMI connects the brain by interface to directly exchange information. Compared to non -embedded type, embedded type (invasive) has an advantage in important performance such as the quality of the neural signal and the accuracy of the nerve control, but it is an issue for implantation and long -term stability. Overseas, exploring and testing for embedded BMIs is progressing, among which Neuralink, established by Elon Musk, is the most representative. In April 2021, Neuralink released a video of the monkey playing a ping -pong game with just thinking without using a joystick (game lever) by utilizing embedded BMI technology. It is a major progress in brain control research. In China, embedded BMIs are still in the early stages, and technical issues are awaited in various fields, such as flexible electrodes, biotes, embedded methods, and nerve decoding. The brain tiger technique was jointly established by Mr. Peng Tora and Peng Rai. Mr. Tani is an authoritative expert in the BMI, AI, and micronano sensor fields in China, a researcher at the Chinese Academy, and has been led by the team so far in fields such as micronano sensors, biomedical materials, and BMI. He has published a dissertation and has applied for dozens of patents. Mr. Peng is a serial entrepreneur, and the SaaS company "Keruyun", a former SaaS company, was acquired by Alibaba in 19, and Peng also served as Deputy Governor in Alibaba's Life -Related Service Division. There are about 30 employees of the brain tiger technique. The BMI industry has a very high entry hurdle, mainly ensuring human resources and capital skills. BMI is a comprehensive technology that spans multiple departments, requiring various subjects in various departments such as materials, computers, electronic engineering, cognitive science, and clinical medicine. In addition, investment in R & D is extremely large, and companies with basic technology may take more than 10 years to collect investment. The strength is that the brain tiger technique has had the ability to develop core technology since its establishment. For example, there are core techniques and core devices such as chip design, flexible electrode processing, surgical robot, etc. The brain tiger technique is also on the path of independent development and is trying to compete with Musk's Neuralink. The brain tiger technique is conducting research with multiple hospitals, and the two hospitals will end ethics screening and will publish information on clinical research in the future. BMI has recently attracted attention in the world. Serious aging and brain disease issues provide demand for BMI. Medical markets for some adaptable diseases are billions of dollars (hundreds of billions of yen), but the market size is expected to grow several tens of times as the number of adaptable diseases increase.
