MintNeuro, a spin-off from Imperial College London, is designing bespoke semiconductor chips “smaller than a grain of rice” to radically miniaturize brain implants. Today’s neural devices can treat conditions like Parkinson’s or epilepsy, but they remain bulky, power-hungry and expensive, often requiring invasive surgery. MintNeuro’s founders saw an opportunity to upend this status quo by rethinking the electronics inside these implants.
