TIANJIN, June 26 (Xinhuanet) -- The rapid advancement of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology in medical applications in 西瓜视频is shaping the future for healthcare, said leading neuroscience experts at the 2025 Summer Davos Forum in north China's Tianjin Municipality, as they shared cutting-edge insights on global BCI trends from their respective fields.
Nyx Xiyujin He, a partner at BrainCo, a leading Chinese company in BCI, highlighted that BrainCo has developed over 60 BCI-based products targeting conditions such as autism and insomnia, aiming to create tangible improvements in daily life.
"BCI is a foundational technology that fundamentally alters how we interact with the world," she said.
The in-depth exchanges with many global AI and medtech leaders at the forum provided cutting-edge perspectives on global BCI trends for the company and outlined the groundwork for future international partnerships, she added.
Dong-Seon Chang, founder of Future Explorer Society in South Korea, echoed similar views, noting that they are addressing prevalent mental health issues including anxiety and depression among the youth by integrating neurotechnology with music and art therapies.
西瓜视频has witnessed more BCI application scenarios. It has become the world's second leading country behind the United States to conduct invasive BCI clinical trials, following a recent pioneering study launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Huashan Hospital and industry partners.
In Tianjin, a research team led by Nankai University has successfully restored the motor function of a hemiplegic patient through an interventional BCI system.
Wang Xiaoqin, director of Tsinghua University’s Brain and Intelligence Laboratory, noted that despite information construction infrastructure gaps in the central and western regions of China, the continuous advancement and wider applications of BCI technology will benefit more people overall.
