Welcome to the Implantable Brain Computer Interface Collaborative Community

About the iBCI-CC

The field of implantable brain-computer interfaces needs a dedicated collaborative community, unleashing the potential for collective progress, knowledge sharing, and interdisciplinary collaboration to address challenges, drive innovation, and improve outcomes for individuals with neurological conditions.

Our Mission

We envision a future where iBCIs improve the lives of individuals, empowering each user of an iBCI to lead a fuller and more independent life.

The iBCI-CC is an inclusive organization that seeks to advance the field of iBCIs through a platform that develops and uses harmonized approaches to drive continuous innovation and equitable access to iBCIs by:

  1. Utilizing regulatory science tools to support evidence-generation and inform the community about topics relevant to iBCIs,

  2. Creating inclusive platforms for addressing complex problems, and

  3. Convening diverse stakeholders to enable discussion and education of each other and the broader community.

Our Vision

The iBCI-CC has Projects, conducted by seven Workgroups. To facilitate advances and innovation in implantable brain-computer interfaces, the iBCI-CC believes in distributing tasks across Workgroups consisting of stakeholders who have expertise, interest, and/or willingness to develop and deliver clear recommendations on important issues for further discussion and deliberation by the broader iBCI-CC. Workgroups will disseminate project information and updates through educational outreach, scientific presentations, and by making all resources broadly and publicly available.

These Workgroups address topics that include but are not limited to:

  1. User Priorities/Preferences and iBCI Use Cases

  2. Clinical study endpoints

  3. Clinical Practice Guidelines

  4. Payor interactions and Device Categorization

  5. Modular Components, Interoperability, and ISO/other standards

  6. Public messaging, BCI education, and Regulatory science education that could support policy

  7. Ethics, Neural Data Privacy, and Data Security

The iBCI-CC will make materials publicly available and share links to relevant organizations to assist all stakeholders. Initially, the iBCI-CC will focus on regulatory and translation issues in the United States.
