Bosch Sensortec are one of the biggest suppliers of MEMS technology, with 17 locations across the world. Bosch Sensortec provide motion, environmental, optical and acoustic sensor solutions and tools, primarily to consumer electronics markets. IDTechEx spoke with Senior Product Manager, Ryo Sakauchi, at Sensors Converge 2024 in Santa Clara, CA.

The brain computer interface market represents an array of technologies which can decode neural signals, or in other words, read minds. Electrodes or sensors can be placed either on the surface of the head, within the skull, or even within the brain itself to record brain activity. This data can then be used for cursor and keyboard control, speech decoding, and even exo-skeletons. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the quality of life for people living with spinal cord injury, quadriplegia, and other motor and speech function impairments.
