Nature Reviews maps the rise of ultrasonic brain-computer interfaces from 2011 to 2025
juanbenet · x · 2026-07-21
A Nature Reviews piece on scaling ultrasonic brain-computer interfaces (fUSI-BCI) beyond the lab highlights a steady research timeline:
- 2011: first fUSI publication
- 2017: first fUSI in humans (neonates)
- 2021: first offline fUSI-BCI
- 2024: first online fUSI-BCI and first adult decoding
- 2025: first ambulatory fUSI in humans and finger-movement decoding
The figure also sketches the next challenges: making the system portable, enabling transcranial imaging, scaling the field of view, and exploring acoustic reporter proteins plus microbubbles as future directions.
