Paradromics is a brain-computer interface (BCI) company based in Austin, Texas, founded in 2015. The company develops high-bandwidth neural interfaces designed to restore communication for people with paralysis and other neurological conditions. Paradromics' flagship product, the Connexus Microd Array, aims to provide the highest electrode count of any implantable BCI device, enabling high-fidelity neural signal recording and stimulation[1].
The company's mission is to create brain interfaces that can decode neural activity with sufficient bandwidth to restore natural communication for individuals with locked-in syndrome, ALS, spinal cord injury, and other conditions that limit movement and speech.
Paradromics' primary device is the Connexus Microd Array, featuring an unprecedented electrode count:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Electrode Density | 65,000+ / mm² |
| Signal Quality | Single-unit resolution |
| Power Consumption | <100 mW |
| Data Rate | >1 Gbps |
| Implant Size | Multiple 1mm arrays |
The Paradromics system consists of:
| Application | Target Condition | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Locked-in syndrome | Development |
| Motor Restoration | Spinal cord injury | Development |
| Speech Decoding | ALS | Development |
| Vision Restoration | Blindness | Research |
