The NeuCyber Array BMI system, a brain-machine interface (BMI) system self-developed in China, was unveiled on April 25 at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum (ZGC Forum) in Beijing.
At the forum, a video demonstration revealed a remarkable feat: a monkey, with its hands tied and flexible electrode filaments implanted in its brain, controlled an isolated robotic arm and grasped a strawberry using simply its “thoughts.”
According to Luo Minmin, director of the China Brain Research Institute in Beijing, who co-developed the system with NeuCyber NeuroTech (Beijing) Co., Ltd, the NeuCyber Array BMI system fills the gap in invasive technology. high-performance brain-machine interface in China.

Noting that BMI serves as an “information superhighway” for the brain, facilitating communication with external devices and providing cutting-edge technologies in human-computer interaction and hybrid intelligence, he added “in In short, the technology captures the subtle changes in electrical signals from neurons and decodes the brain’s intentions, realizing that “thoughts” control “actions.”
The NeuCyber Array BMI system is composed of three main components: a high-throughput flexible microelectrode array, a thousand-channel high-speed neural signal acquisition system, and a generative neural decoding algorithm based on a control mechanism anticipated.
Founded in 2007, the Zhongguancun Forum, always focused on innovation and development, has become a national open innovation platform and an international forum over the years.
