Precision Neuroscience posts a 70-patient map of the human nervous system
Precision Neuroscience announced on 8 October 2026 a preprint, posted on bioRxiv on 1 October, that describes an atlas of the human central nervous system built from recordings in the first 70 patients fitted with its Layer 7 thin-film electrode array. The array sits on the surface of the brain and holds FDA 510(k) clearance for temporary use of less than 30 days. The atlas spans motor, sensory, language and auditory cortex, and also the brainstem and spinal cord, across more than 100,000 electrode placements. Precision says the total number of patients implanted with its system has now passed 100. Its chief science officer, Benjamin Rapoport, describes a whole-brain interface as a data milestone assembled across many patients, and its chief data and AI officer, Craig Mermel, says the company will soon say more about where the data meets artificial intelligence. The preprint has not been peer reviewed, and 16 of its 61 authors work for Precision.
