Storyline China's brain-computer interface sector enters fast track China's brain-computer interface industry is entering the fast lane with continuous tech breakthroughs and expanded application scenarios. With rapid advances in neural recording, neuromodulation, and signal decoding, BCI technology is opening new opportunities for treating things like paralysis from spinal cord injuries, strokes or Parkinson's disease. Wang Yizheng, Academician, Chinese Academy of Sciences: "For BCI technology, the more mature applications at present are still in improving motor disorders, especially those related to Parkinson's disease, and other movement impairments." The BCI sector was designated a future industry in this year's government work report. It was also included in the outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan as the country aims to cultivate it into a new engine of growth.
