Global Invasive and Non-Invasive Neural Interfaces Forecasts and Applications, 2028 - A $2 Billion Industry

DUBLIN, Jan. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Invasive and Non-Invasive Neural Interfaces: Forecasts and Applications 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The future of neural interface technology, both invasive and non-invasive, is an exciting one. It holds tremendous promise for the future or research, healthcare, and everyday consumer electronics. A corresponding segmented market forecast for neural interfaces is included in the report; framing this industry that may amount to a minimum $2B for 2028 alone.

A conservative estimate, there remain still several technologies today that may be even more prosperous beyond the next decade after various regulatory approvals have been accomplished, creating an environment where getting in on the ground floor now, is essential.

Neural interfaces have long been a useful tool in research, but have recently garnered attention from both the government and independent investors alike. This report provides an overview of those interests and collaborations responsible for the production of innovative technologies that meld man with machine.

The 2013 NIH BRAIN initiative, for example, has multiple industry partners who develop and provide neural interfacing technology including Inscopix, Blackrock Microsystems, Ripple Neuro, and NeuroNexus; all of which this report covers in detail. Additionally, prominent businessmen and venture capitalists like Bryan Johnson have gone so far as to establish their own companies (e.g. Kernel) in pursuit of brain machine interface development. Academic institutions however today still hold a lead when it comes to top patenting assignee's, with schools like the University of California, MIT, and Case Western Reserve all contributing major technological advances to the field.

This new report contains an entire chapter dedicated to elucidating these, and other important patent trends for neural interfaces (including timelines, geographic breakdowns, and technology areas).

The resulting applications for neural interface technology are broad, ranging from research to medical devices, and in non-invasive tech, even the consumer market. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the current competitive landscape for these technologies. Invasive probes, for example, have been a neurophysiological staple for years, as scientists endeavor to decode the complex architecture of the brain. New techniques like optogenetics, used in tandem with conventional probes for neurophysiology, have the potential to disentangle the complex web of pathways responsible for a given behavior or disease.

Additionally, probes are being made stronger, thinner, yet more flexible. These characteristics are tremendously advantageous in terms of biocompatibility for potential human applications where long-term stability is key.
