Our Tech

The world’s most advanced brain interfaces

Blackrock’s devices empower research and medicine’s most ambitious ideas. Our technologies speak the language of neurons, recording and translating tiny electrical impulses to transform thought into action.

Our tech

A versatile platform to power innovation

Nearly all BCIs implanted in humans have used Blackrock’s technology—specifically the Utah Array (also called the NeuroPort Electrode), the world’s most advanced and longest lasting intracortical electrode.

Neuroprosthetics

Our BCI tech affords patients unprecedented control of prosthetic limbs – just by imagining moving the arm. Sensory stimulation technology enables users to feel their robotic arm as if it’s their own, making an interface that is both intuitive and personal. (Image Credit: Johns Hopkins APL)

02

Computer Control

Using our tech, patients can control essential computer functions with unmatched speed and accuracy. Demonstrated applications include surfing the web, sending emails, creating digital art, navigating flight and driving simulators, and playing video games.

03

Communication

Our technology has been used to decode entire words and sentences from brain signals to give a voice to those who have lost their ability to speak due to neuromuscular disease or spinal cord injury.

04

Sensory Restoration

Research using our high-density electrode arrays has demonstrated it’s possible to restore a sense of touch, vision, and hearing through targeted brain stimulation.
Featured technology
The Utah Array

The Utah Array has been at the heart of the most capable brain-computer interfaces and has been implanted in humans since 2004.
It is the core technology in our upcoming MoveAgain medical device, which received a Breakthrough Designation from the FDA in 2021.
