Builder The claim is about what the hardware does, and the philosophy is left open
Matt Angle argues that the bottleneck for neural prosthetics, digital therapeutics, and brain-machine symbiosis is data rate. In developing Paradromics’ Connexus Direct Data Interface (DDI), his team designed micro-wire and micro-needle arrays capable of recording single-unit action potentials across more than 1,600 to 30,000 channels simultaneously.
His engineering perspective holds that restoring complex motor, speech, and sensory functions requires raw broadband signal acquisition (megabits to gigabits per second) directly from neocortical populations, rather than relying on low-frequency surface electroencephalography.
For consciousness research and mind transfer paradigms, Angle’s work defines the state of the art in invasive recording density, highlighting the vast engineering gap between current clinical arrays (thousands of channels) and the biological bandwidth of major interhemispheric tracts like the corpus callosum (hundreds of millions of axons).
