Roadmap & legacy

These dates and stages come from the earlier dossier. They are not a verified delivery schedule; listed objectives do not establish completed results.

  1. 2019-2024

    Phase A — Preclinical and robotics

    Legacy reference — to verify
    • Validation of robotic insertion precision
    • Signal readout chain stabilized in the lab
    • Intraoperative safety framework consolidated
  2. 2025-2026

    Phase B — Early human trials

    Legacy reference — to verify
    • Tracking the first clinical protocols
    • Measuring signal quality in real-world use
    • Firmware adjustments and patient calibrations
  3. 2027+

    Phase C — Clinical standardization

    Legacy reference — to verify
    • Multi-center reproducibility
    • Cyber-biomedical safety standards
    • Broadened use cases (mobility, communication)

Resources & evidence

Implant evolution

Hardware maturity: miniaturization, electrical stability, biocompatible enclosure.

  • Versioning of implantable modules
  • Thermal stability and power consumption
  • Biological tolerance over long cycles

Neuro-signal pipeline

From capture to real-time decoding with actionable feedback.

  • Signal-to-noise ratio per session
  • Intent decoding latency
  • Accuracy of the generated commands

Applied transhumanism framework

Moving from research to concrete uses under strong ethical constraints.

  • Delineating therapy vs augmentation
  • Security audits and neural data governance
  • Clinical and societal acceptability
