Corticale is pioneering a new generation of minimally invasive, CMOS-based neural implants that can record from thousands of neurons simultaneously\u2014introducing their flagship technology, SiNAPS. Fabio walks us through how SiNAPS achieves single-cell resolution recordings via its 1024-electrode array, enabling high-fidelity access to both action potentials and local field potentials deep within cortical tissue. We also explore the significance of modular probe design, ultra high-density sensors, and the potential clinical and research applications of such a breakthrough platform. This episode is sponsored by Black Swan IP \u2013 patent strategy and legal support for neurotech innovators. Learn more at www.blackswan-ip.com\/ Top 3 Takeaways: Corticale\u2019s SiNAPS probes miniaturize electronics directly beneath each electrode, enabling every channel to independently record signals. Unlike traditional systems that require pre-selection or external r eadout bottlenecks, this design supports simultaneous, high-resolution recording across the entire array. Moving from hundreds to thousands of recording channels exposes neural complexity that was previously missed. For brain-computer interfaces, this data richness significantly improves decoding accuracy and performance. Startups should prioritize building the right team even before finalizing the technology. As Fabio reflects, having a team with the right expertise early on can help avoid costly mistakes, save time, and steer the company in the right direction\u2014something he wishes he had done from the beginning. 0:45 Do you want to introduce yourself better than I just did? 3:00 What are some of the features of your technology? 5:30 What kind of cutting edge fabrication are you using? 6:30 What application do you see this being useful for? 10:15 Sponsorship by blackswan-ip  10:45 So who are you main customers now? 12:45 What are the upper limits of this technology? 16:00 So you guys are working only on the hardware side of things? 16:45 What kind of data processing do you need for this? 18:45 What do the next 5 years look like for you? 20:15 What kind of patient population would you be targeting? 21:00 What is it like to be based in Italy? 24:00 Is there anything that we didn't talk about that you wanted to mention?   ","author_name":"Neural Implant podcast - the people behind Brain-Machine Interface revolutions","author_url":"http:\/\/neuralimplantpodcast.com","html":"
