Clinicians discuss the details of cortical electrode implantation during a brain-computer interface surgery in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province, Dec. 21, 2025. Recently, a neurosurgery team at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University successfully performed a clinical operation of the fully implantable, fully wireless, fully functional ("Triple-F") brain-computer interface (BCI) system.
The "Triple-F" system employs a flexible cortical electrode array positioned subdurally over the motor cortex, capturing neural signals without parenchymal penetration.
By integrating sub-50ms end-to-end latency with BCI-driven functional electrical stimulation (BCI-FES), the system enables a 29-year-old high-level spinal cord injury patient -- a former art teacher -- to regain autonomous hand control for eating, writing, and painting within one month post-implantation.
