Overview
Precision Neuroscience is a New York-based brain-computer interface company developing the Layer 7 Cortical Interface, a minimally invasive, safely removable BCI with 1,024 electrodes on a thin flexible film. FDA 510(k) clearance granted April 2025 — first full regulatory clearance for a next-generation wireless BCI.
Tested in 37 patients across Mount Sinai, Penn Medicine, WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, and Beth Israel. Raised $161M total (Series B $41M, Series C $120M).
Reality check
Layer 7 (company-claimed)
Cortical array thinner than a hair with 1,024 electrodes that rests on the brain without penetrating.
FDA clearance (company-claimed)
510(k) clearance for Layer 7 for recording and stimulation for up to 30 days.
