Ability Neurotech has conducted first-in-human brain-computer interface testing at Munich's TUM University Hospital, capturing high-resolution neural signals during brain tumour surgery under general anaesthetic. The company plans to progress to neural decoding studies with conscious patients performing speech and motor tasks, establishing a foundation for long-term BCI implantation trials.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech and Medtech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you're building sensors, surgical hardware, or data platforms for neurotech, you've just watched a competitor move from lab to patients. Ability has a clinical dataset and a regulatory pathway—that's a 18-month lead on everyone else trying to do this in Europe.
