On December 15, China's National Drug Administration issued Jingyu Medical Technology Co., Ltd.'s registration certificate for three types of products using invasive brain-computer interfaces to treat drug addiction. It is the world's first invasive brain-computer interface product approved for the treatment of addictive psychiatric disorders. The product uses deep brain stimulation technology to implant electrodes into specific nerve nuclei regions of the brain by drilling two tiny holes in the patient's skull. At the same time, a pulse generator about the size of a matchbox is implanted into the patient's chest and connected to brain electrodes through a wire to provide continuous electrical stimulation to regulate the brain reward and impulse control system “kidnapped” by drugs for a long period of time.
