Chinese Neuralink rival surpasses Elon Musk in brain chip implants
Chinese startup NeuroXess has implanted brain chips in over 50 individuals, nearly tripling the publicly known statistics of Neuralink. This milestone is significant due to NeuroXess’s innovative approach using a less invasive technology—a soft mesh laid on the brain’s surface—making implantation safer and enabling faster scaling.

The technology allows direct thought-based control of devices, helps restore limb movement in paralysis, and potentially enhances memory and cognitive functions. The project benefits from strong support by the Chinese government and is progressing from laboratory research into clinical practice.
This breakthrough signals a major advance in neurotechnology, offering hope for wider adoption of assistive devices that can significantly improve the lives of individuals with neurological impairments.
