Blackrock Neurotech
“I want to create the link between human and artificial limb” – Dr Florian Solzbacher.
Our technology helps people:
Communicate Again. Dennis DeGrey sustained a spinal cord injury in 2007. Blackrock’s technology allowed him to type text and email messages.
Move Again. Aaron Ulland suffered a stroke that paralyzed the left side of his body. Blackrock’s technology enabled him to move his own arm again with a brain-controlled exosuit.
Feel Again. In 2016, Nathan Copeland made headlines when he used his BCI to control a robotic arm and fist bumped President Obama. With the implants in his sensory cortex, he was even able to “feel” Obama’s hand.
