2026-03-18
On March 14th, at the establishment of the Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance and the 2026 Brain Computer Interface Innovation and Development Conference, more than a dozen companies showcased new products and technologies, showcasing the vibrant development of Jiangsu's brain computer interface industry. These include electrodes that capture neural signals in brain computer interface systems, dual-mode chips with 10000 flux levels used for brain computer interface research, and head mounted EEG devices that can drive gloves to perform grasping, stretching, and other actions. At the meeting, policy documents such as the "Jiangsu Province Brain Computer Interface Industry Innovation and Development Action Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") were released, the establishment ceremony of the Jiangsu Province Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance was held, and a number of platform projects were launched. The outline of the 15th Five Year Plan regards brain computer interface as one of the future industries with forward-looking layout. How to seize the opportunities of the times and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity? Vice Governor of Jiangsu Province, Shen Jianrong, stated that Jiangsu will anchor the main battlefield of "artificial intelligence+", vigorously promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, accelerate breakthroughs in cutting-edge new technologies, incorporate brain computer interfaces into the "1650" industrial system to address weaknesses, and accelerate major breakthroughs in key core technologies such as new electrodes and chips, and new modes of brain computer interaction. Cultivating influential leading enterprises in the future, patients with functional impairments such as sports and cognition may be able to complete rehabilitation training like playing somatosensory games. Recently, the team led by Shen Ying, Deputy Director of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department at Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, is developing a brain computer interface integrated rehabilitation system for cognitive and motor functions. The patient stands on the motion control platform and completes actions based on the virtual training scene on the large screen in front. During this process, the system will synchronously collect the patient's EEG, cerebral blood oxygen, electromyography and other data, and decode them together to carry out personalized treatment. ”Shen Ying introduced that the team is currently analyzing the multimodal signal characteristics of different diseases and designing virtual training scenarios accordingly. Shen Ying is also a co-founder of Jiangsu Ruikede Brain Computer Technology Co., Ltd. Not long ago, with the support of Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Research Institute and Nanjing Qixia High tech Zone, Shen Ying's team joined forces with Zhejiang Deno Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. to establish the company and promote the commercialization and clinical application of brain computer interface technology. The research institute provides us with venues, funding, recommends high-level talents, and connects with industry resources, which shows us the prospects of technology landing. ”Shen Ying said. Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Research Institute is an important milestone in Jiangsu's layout of the brain computer interface industry. It has collected the first batch of major scientific and technological projects around key common technologies of brain computer interfaces and brain like computing. Vice President Zhu Haihua of the research institute said, "We hope to connect the entire chain of production, education, research, and application of brain computer interfaces, and focus on cultivating high-quality brain computer technologies with the combination of 'policy+carrier+capital'. By gathering innovative resources for joint research and development, and cultivating and strengthening innovative entities, Jiangsu has gathered more than 60 high-quality enterprises such as brain signal sensing components, brain computer chips, and interactive systems. Nanjing University, Southeast University, and Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital are working together to promote the overall development level of the brain computer interface industry, which is at the forefront of the country. The 'Plan' released at this conference has pressed the fast forward button for Jiangsu to seize opportunities for industrial development. The Plan proposes to implement four major actions: industrial innovation co construction, open cultivation of application scenarios, strengthening of industrial entities, and improvement of industrial support, striving to create 2-3 leading enterprises with domestic and international influence by 2030, and forming a relatively complete industrial ecosystem covering basic materials, core components, complete machine products, application services, etc. The Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance has integrated over 20000 microelectrodes on a fingernail sized chip. At the exhibition on the 14th, a high-end brain computer interface chip showcased by the research team of the National Key Laboratory of Digital Medical Engineering at Southeast University attracted widespread attention. This chip is mainly used for in vitro monitoring and evaluation of brain tissue and neuromorphic organs. It can not only record electrophysiological signals, but also achieve electrochemical sensing, thus supporting the analysis of multi-modal neuronal activity at the single-cell level. ”The assistant researcher Ma Biao introduced the laboratory. The official appearance of the Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance at the conference has also made Ma Biao look forward to the industrialization of chips. After entering the alliance, we can leverage the industry resources of the alliance to reach more customers, collect their usage experience, and accelerate the iteration of chips, "Ma Biao said. The Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Industry Alliance is jointly established by more than 70 enterprises and institutions, becoming a "strong magnetic field" that connects the innovation resources of brain computer interfaces in the province. Among them, Jiangsu Brain Computer Interface Research Institute will play a leading role. Zhu Haihua said, "The alliance will serve as a bridge, build a high-energy innovation platform, work together to tackle the" neck sticking "technology, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and promote the two-way development of science and technology and industry." Shen Jianrong said that in the future, Jiangsu will give priority to promoting the scenario application and industrialization of brain computer interface technology in medical rehabilitation, helping the disabled and the elderly, health management and other fields, promote the iterative upgrading of brain computer interface products to intelligent, lightweight, high-speed, low power consumption, and promote the deep integration of brain computer interface with real intelligence, biomedicine, and digital health, cultivate a number of new models such as research and development services, clinical transformation, and data services, and expand a number of technology leading enterprises, specialized new enterprises, and OPC enterprises. Promote a number of new generation intelligent terminals and agents. (New Society)
