Chinese state-backed brain-computer interface (BCI) startup NeuCyber Neurotech has revealed that its most advanced product, Beinao-1, is three years behind Elon Musk's Neuralink. The company's new Beineo-2 product is an invasive BCI with flexible electrodes that fully implant into the brain, currently undergoing large-scale animal implantation. Despite this, Li Yuan, CEO of Neucyber, estimates it could take two to three years before the products can be widely available on the domestic market. The firm has received around 200 million yuan ($29 million) in funding from the Beijing government.
