What it concerns
A device and system for real-time visualization of the electrophysiologic activity of a brain, particularly at the cortical surface. The neural device can acquire, process, and display high-spatiotemporal-resolution electrophysiologic data in real-time across entire electrode arrays spanning many thousands of electrodes over identified anatomic regions. The system is compatible with thin-film cortical surface electrodes that record from neural tissues without damaging those tissues. The system can be used to guide diagnostic and therapeutic actions with high precision, and also provides the basis for a brain-computer interface.
The abstract as published by the patent office, from US20250114024A1. It describes the invention; it is not a statement of what is protected.

What the filing appears to be about, read by published rules from its title, abstract and classification codes (A61B2560/045, A61B2560/0468, A61B2562/046, A61B2562/164, A61B5/0006). The claims define what a patent protects, and they are not read here.
Why it matters
- Interface and electrodes
- Everything downstream works with what the contacts pick up. Their number, size and distance from the neurons set the ceiling on the signal. The problem behind it: more contacts, closer to neurons, that still record after years in tissue that reacts to them.
Why the layer matters to the field, not a judgement of this filing. A patent family shows that protection was sought. It does not show that the technology was built, is used in a product, or works in people. The whole stack

Dates as the offices published them. Office records are in the offices' own words and are a selection: refusals, lapses and withdrawals, and records that name an owner. Each concerns one member of the family, not the family as a whole, and another member in the same office may stand. Whether a patent is in force today is not assessed.
