One-handed news!
This enterprise in the new district is big!
In January 2019, Dr. Tao Hu, a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Sensing Technology, signed a contract to jointly build Jiangxi Brain Tiger Technology Co., Ltd., which is mainly engaged in technology research and development, business incubation and achievement transformation of intelligent biosensors in the field of brain science. At present, the company has settled in the small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurship incubation base in the new district, has formed a project team of dozens of people, and its "craniotomy minimally invasive implantable high-throughput flexible brain-computer interface" project won the highest award at the 2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Brain Tiger Technology announced the completion
Angel round and Pre-A round of financing totaling RMB 97 million
This time it was founded by Shanda and Shen Nanpeng
Sequoia China Seed Fund leads the investment,
Yonghua Investment, Lianxin Capital, Brain Wisdom Innovation Union and follow-up investment
Brain Tiger Technology Company said
Relying on the team of scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
as well as original independent core technology
The company is directly benchmarked against Elon Musk, the world's richest man
Founded the American Neuralink company
Brain-computer interfaces are an area that will disrupt the future of mankind, and the invasive brain-computer interfaces are recognized by scientists around the world as the hardest core and the highest threshold. Globally, only a few people in this field are currently engaged in research and development in the United States, such as Neuralink and Blackrock.
"The core challenge of brain-computer interface is how to strike a reasonable balance between maximizing brain utilization and minimizing brain damage. Because the brain is too complex, I believe that non-invasive (non-invasive) brain-computer interfaces will play an important role in areas such as emotion regulation and cognitive assessment, but the real brain-computer interface can only be achieved through direct connection with neuronal cells. Invasive (referring to invasive) brain-computer interface is a very high threshold for research and development, and China urgently needs independent core technologies in this regard. ”
Dr. Tao Hu, founder of Brain Tiger Technology, said that as the most representative company in the field of invasive brain-computer interface in China, Brain Tiger Technology is full of confidence in Musk's Neuralink as a global catch-up target.
