The MiBMI system designed by EPFL’s Brain-Machine Interface Lab, represents a significant leap forward in brain-machine interface technology. Unlike larger systems, this compact and efficient device can convert brain signals directly into text. This enables patients to communicate through digital means without physical movement.

This is particularly promising for individuals with severe mobility impairments, such as those suffering from conditions like ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or spinal cord injuries.

Transforming Neurological Treatments

EPFL’s Miniaturized Brain-Machine Interface is expected to have far-reaching implications for medical and research communities.
