en.Wedoany.com Reported - the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology officially approved the establishment of the "Hubei Provincial Brain-Computer Interface Technology Innovation Center." The center will be led by Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and jointly established by 12 units including Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hubei Optics Valley Laboratory, and Optics Valley International Brain-Computer Interface Innovation Center. This center is the first provincial-level brain-computer interface technology innovation platform in China positioned as comprehensive and full-chain. It also represents a crucial strategic layout for Tongji Hospital in establishing a comprehensive national medical center.
According to the approval from the Hubei Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the center will focus on technological bottlenecks in the brain-computer interface field, concentrating efforts on key directions such as neural signal decoding, localization of core components, and optimization of non-invasive/implantable technology pathways. Tongji Hospital has already conducted over 50 clinical trials related to brain-computer interfaces, forming a multimodal technology matrix encompassing light, electricity, magnetism, and focused ultrasound. It is systematically advancing full-chain technological research for the precise diagnosis and treatment of major neurological dysfunction diseases affecting motor, cognitive, mental, visual, and language functions.
The center has established a "1+12+21" collaborative innovation system. With Tongji Hospital at its core and in collaboration with key and supporting units across multiple fields, it has formed a complete innovation ecosystem from scientific origins to market application. In 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology listed brain-computer interfaces among the ten landmark products for future industries. In June of the same year, Hubei Province designated brain-computer interfaces as a key direction in the future health field. Prior to this, the East Lake High-tech Development Zone had issued the "11 Measures for Brain-Computer Interface" special policy and established a brain-computer interface industry fund. Optics Valley has already gathered a group of high-tech enterprises in the brain-computer interface field, constructing a complete industrial chain covering "electrode components - equipment R&D - clinical application."
