Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, Inc.

Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, a leader in brain interface technology, is developing products to treat nervous system diseases and disorders by bringing together advances in neuroscience, computer science and engineering. Cyberkinetics' products are based on over ten years of technology development and cutting-edge neuroscience research at leading academic institutions such as Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Emory University, and the University of Utah.

Cyberkinetics has received FDA clearance to market the NeuroPort(TM) System, a neural monitor designed for acute inpatient applications and labeled for temporary (less than 30 days) recording and monitoring of brain electrical activity. The NeuroPort(TM) System can contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions in patients who have undergone craniotomy by providing neurologists and neurosurgeons a new resource to detect, transmit and analyze neural activity.

Cyberkinetics' BrainGate(TM) System is being designed to give severely paralyzed individuals, as well as individuals with motor impairment from a variety of causes, a long-term, direct brain-computer interface for the purpose of communication and control of a computer, assistive devices, and, ultimately, limb movement.
