TREE NEWS update: About 120 patients in China have had brain-computer interface implants for more than a month without removal, said Hong Bo, chief scientist at Lingang Laboratory, at a media briefing for the Pudong Innovation Forum 2026 Brain-Computer Interface Conference. The conference will run Dec. 3-6 in Shanghai under the theme “Brain Connects the World, Intelligence Gathers in Shanghai,” with one main forum, six industry tracks and a financing forum involving more than 100 institutions.
China Has Implanted Brain-Computer Interfaces in About 120 Patients, Scientist Says

The disclosure matters less as a clinical milestone than as a signal of scale: a single scientist putting a rough patient count on the record suggests China's BCI work is moving from lab demonstrations toward something closer to a tracked cohort. The financing forum attached to the conference hints that capital formation, not just research, is now part of the agenda, which affects device developers and the investors circling them. Whether the implant retention figure is corroborated by independent clinical reporting is the open question.
