Brain-computer interface (BCI) science has seen exciting advances and heightened public attention in recent years, and for good reason. The promise of BCI for individuals with paralysis is monumental: To intuitively restore communication, control external devices, and provide the independence that many able-bodied people take for granted.

Sitting at the core of today’s BCI innovation is a tiny device that has quietly powered advances in the field for decades: the Utah Array.
