Reputation

Despite Neuralink's media share of voice, Blackrock's NeuroPort Array remains the workhorse of human intracortical BCI research — used in BrainGate, the Pittsburgh tetraplegia studies, the UCSF/Stanford speech-decoding work, and the majority of multi-year human intracortical recordings published to date.
