Nia Therapeutics Publishes Peer-Reviewed Validation of a 60-Channel Brain Implant for Closed-Loop Neurostimulation
Wireless Smart Neurostimulation System records from 10× more brain sites than current adaptive implants; a large-animal study demonstrates chronic sensing, neural-state decoding, and programmable stimulation
Excerpt from the Press Release:
ALLSTON, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nia Therapeutics announced publication in Brain Stimulation of the first in vivo validation of its Smart Neurostimulation System (SNS), a wireless, implantable brain-computer interface designed for closed-loop treatment of memory disorders.
The SNS records neural activity from 60 channels across four brain regions—an order-of-magnitude increase over commercially available devices. The NeuroPace RNS system, FDA-cleared for epilepsy, records from up to six channels; Medtronic’s Percept adaptive DBS system records from up to four.
This expanded sensing capacity reflects the distributed nature of memory, which arises from coordinated dynamics across widespread neural networks rather than from a single focal site.
“Most brain implants were developed for conditions in which a localized abnormal signal drives symptoms,” said Michael J. Kahana, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Nia Therapeutics and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
