Reputation

Differentiated from Neuralink/Blackrock/Paradromics/Precision by avoiding open brain surgery entirely — the Stentrode is delivered endovascularly by an interventional neuroradiologist in a procedure analogous to a coronary stent. Trade-off is far fewer electrodes (~16) and a lower-resolution signal (LFP from inside a blood vessel, not single units).
