Motif Neurotech performs first-in-human stimulation with its millimeter-scale implant

Motif Neurotech/DOT / Motif XCS System

Motif successfully performed first-in-human stimulation with its pea-sized, wireless, battery-free brain stimulator at Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center. Intraoperative testing showed the device could safely stimulate the human brain from outside the brain surface.

• Millimeter-sized, wireless, battery-free device designed for treatment-resistant depression
• Conducted during surgery with teams from Rice, Baylor and UTHealth Houston
• Stimulation delivered from outside brain surface, not requiring contact with brain tissue
• Aimed at 20-minute outpatient procedure; animal implants ran over 30 days
