# Precision Neuroscience **Domain:** Cortical-Surface Brain-Computer Interfaces / Clinical Neurotechnology **Doc Type:** Company and Platform Node **Maturity:** Clinical research and regulatory translation **Primary Source:** [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] ## Definition **Precision Neuroscience** develops the **Layer 7 Cortical Interface**, a high-density, thin-film electrode array designed to conform to the cortical surface. The approach seeks higher spatial resolution than non-invasive systems without penetrating neural tissue with individual electrode shanks or threads. ## Architectural position The Layer 7 design occupies the surface-array region between endovascular and penetrating interfaces. The source atlas emphasizes three linked properties: high electrode density, placement through a narrow surgical opening, and reversibility through removal of the surface film. Its comparative value is architectural. [[wiki/Synchron|Synchron]] accepts lower-dimensional vascular recording to reduce surgical burden; [[wiki/Neuralink|Neuralink]] and [[wiki/Paradromics|Paradromics]] penetrate cortex for bandwidth; [[wiki/Blackrock Neurotech|Blackrock Neurotech]] supplies the long-running implanted reference architecture. Precision Neuroscience tests whether conforming surface access can retain useful bandwidth while reducing tissue penetration. ## Evidentiary boundary Temporary intraoperative testing, an announced regulatory filing, and permanent commercial implantation are different milestones. Reversibility of the array's placement does not eliminate surgical, data-governance, or long-term biocompatibility questions. ## Relationships **Related cluster nodes:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] · [[wiki/Brain-Computer Interfaces|Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[wiki/Electrocorticography|Electrocorticography]] · [[wiki/Invasive BCI|Invasive BCI]] · [[wiki/Biocompatibility|Biocompatibility]] <!-- BEGIN NEUROTECH RELATIONSHIP GRAPH 2026-09-10 --> ### Master relationship graph patch — 2026-09-10 **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Relationship source:** [[research/Neurotechnology Ecosystem Relationship Graph - 2026-09-10|Neurotechnology Ecosystem Relationship Graph — 2026-09-10]] **Related source articles:** [[articles/The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards|The Architecture of Continuity and Emerging Neuroinformatics Standards]] · [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] #### Outgoing typed edges - **Edge 281 — `co_founded_by` → [[wiki/Benjamin Rapoport|Benjamin Rapoport]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `PRECISION_VISION`. - **Edge 283 — `co_founded_by` → [[wiki/Michael Mager|Michael Mager]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `PRECISION_VISION`. - **Edge 284 — `develops` → [[wiki/Layer 7 Cortical Interface|Layer 7 Cortical Interface]]** — **VERIFIED**; evidence `PRECISION_HOME`, `PRECISION_VISION`.
