Precision Neuroscience, a brain-computer interface company that connects AI with human intelligence, announced it closed a $102 million Series C funding round led by General Equity Holdings, bringing its total raise to $155 million.

将人工智能与人类智能联系起来的脑机接口公司Precision Neuroscience宣布，它完成了由General Equity Holdings牵头的一轮1.02亿美元的C系列融资，总筹资额达到1.55亿美元。

Steadview Capital, B Capital and Duquesne Family Office, the investment firm of Stanley F. Druckenmiller participated in the round.

Steadview Capital、B Capital和Stanley F.Druckenmiller的投资公司Duquesne家族理财办公室参加了本轮谈判。

The funding comes less than two months after the company announced it secured $93 million in a planned $100 million funding round, with the deal valuing the startup at around $500 million.

在不到两个月的时间里，该公司宣布在计划的1亿美元融资回合中获得了9300万美元的资金，该交易对这家初创公司的估值约为5亿美元。

WHAT IT DOES

它的功能

New York-based Precision Neuroscience offers its brain implant, the Layer 7 Cortical Interface, which conforms to the surface of the brain and allows for the operation of digital devices through thought. Layer 7 is currently in testing.

总部位于纽约的精密神经科学公司（Precision Neuroscience）提供了大脑植入物，即第7层皮质界面，该界面符合大脑表面，并允许通过思考操作数字设备。第7层目前正在测试中。

Brain signals are recorded by thin-film electrodes and translated by a local processing unit placed between the scalp and the skull. The information is then relayed to a connected digital device, which turns the user's thoughts into actions.

大脑信号由薄膜电极记录，并由位于头皮和颅骨之间的局部处理单元进行转换。然后信息被传递到一个连接的数字设备，该设备将用户的想法转化为行动。

Neurosurgeon Ben Rapoport, who was also a cofounder of Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink, founded the company.

神经外科医生本·拉波波特（BenRapoport）也是埃隆·马斯克（ElonMusk）大脑植入公司Neuralink的联合创始人，他创立了这家公司。

MARKET SNAPSHOT

市场快照

。

Elon Musk's Neuralink, launched in 2016, is a direct competitor of Precision Neuroscience. Neuralink raised over $685 million. Last year, it scored $43 million in Series D funding, according to an SEC filing.

埃隆·马斯克（ElonMusk）于2016年推出的Neuralink是精密神经科学（Precision Neuroscience）的直接竞争对手。Neuralink筹集了6.85亿美元。据美国证券交易委员会提交的文件显示，去年，该公司在D系列融资中获得4300万美元。

Last month, Neuralink announced it received approval to launch a feasibility study, CONVOY, which will test the use of its wireless brain-computer interface, or N1 implant, to control an investigational assistive robotic arm.

上个月，Neuralink宣布，它已获得批准，将启动一项可行性研究“护航”，该研究将测试其无线脑机接口（N1植入物）的使用情况，以控制一只研究辅助机械臂。

Another brain-computer interface company is Synchron, the startup behind an FDA breakthrough neuroprosthesis device that aims to give patients with paralysis the ability to control digital devices with their thoughts.

另一家脑机接口公司是Synchron，它是FDA突破性的神经假体设备背后的初创公司，该设备旨在使瘫痪患者能够用他们的想法控制数字设备。

In September, Synchron announced that one of the patients, a 64-year-old man named Mark with ALS,  used his thoughts to control his smart home through the Tap to Alexa feature on his Amazon Fire tablet.

9月，Synchron宣布其中一名患者，64岁的ALS患者Mark，通过亚马逊Fire平板电脑上的Tap to Alexa功能，利用他的想法控制他的智能家居。

'This capability allows Mark to utilize the Synchron brain-computer interface to select customized tiles that perform pre-set Alexa actions, like turning on and off lights, making video calls, playing music and shows, controlling smart home devices, reading books on Kindle or purchasing items on Amazon—entirely hands and voice-free,' the company said in a statement. .

该公司在一份声明中说：“这一功能使马克能够利用Synchron脑机界面选择定制的瓷砖，这些瓷砖可以执行预设的Alexa操作，如开灯和关灯、打视频电话、播放音乐和节目、控制智能家居设备、在Kindle上读书或在亚马逊上购买物品，完全无需手动和语音。”。。
