Science Corporation has enlisted leading neurobiologist Murat Gunel to initiate clinical trials of a biohybrid brain-computer interface (BCI). This was reported by TechCrunch. The startup was founded by Max Hodak, the former president and co-founder of Neuralink. Gunel, the chair of neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine, joined the project as a scientific advisor after two years of negotiations. The collaboration aims to surgically implant the first sensor into a patient's brain for a future interface that will be a symbiosis of lab-grown neurons and electronics. Science was founded in 2021. Last month, it completed a Series C funding round, raising $230 million at a valuation of $1.5 billion. The company's advanced solution is PRIMA — a device for restoring vision in people who have gone blind due to macular degeneration or similar conditions. Science acquired the technology in 2024 and plans to expand its application in Europe following approval from local regulators. Visionary Plans Hodak has set ambitious goals for the startup: to create reliable communication channels between computers and the brain for treating severe diseases, and ultimately to enhance human capabilities, including the addition of new senses. Neuralink and other organizations have managed to track brain activity using electronic sensors. Users with BCI implants can control computers or display words on a screen simply by thinking about them. However, the commercialization of these devices remains uncertain due to regulatory barriers and a relatively small number of patients. Hodak considers the traditional invasive method using metal electrodes a dead end. Over time, this approach leads to tissue damage and degradation of the implant's performance. The Science team has chosen a different path. "The idea of using natural connections through neurons and creating a biological interface between electronics and the human brain is brilliant," said Gunel. Neuron Integration Science co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer Alan Mardinly led the development of the biohybrid sensor with a team of 30 researchers. The final version of the device will incorporate lab-grown neurons. The nerve cells are designed to naturally integrate with neurons in the brain, forming a bridge between biology and electronics. They can be stimulated with light impulses. In 2024, the startup published results of successful testing of the basic technology on mice. Engineers are now focused on creating prototypes and developing cell cultivation methods that meet strict medical standards. Gunel will advise the team preparing for human clinical trials. Discussions are underway with medical ethics committees overseeing human experimentation. The first step will be testing an advanced sensor without embedded neurons inside a living human brain. Future Plans Unlike Neuralink, which implants neurointerfaces directly into tissues, Science places the device on the brain's surface under the skull. This approach is believed to reduce risks for patients. The team plans to find suitable patients who require major surgical intervention. For example, those who have suffered a stroke and need part of their skull removed to reduce brain swelling. Gunel suggests placing the sensor on the surface of the cerebral cortex to practically assess the safety and effectiveness of reading neural activity. If successful, the BCI system could aid in treating neurological diseases. One of the first applications will be gentle electrical stimulation of damaged brain or spinal cord cells for their recovery. More complex scenarios include monitoring neurological activity in patients with tumors. This would allow medical staff to be warned of impending seizures in advance. In the more distant future, there is potential for using the interface to halt the progression of Parkinson's disease. Gunel stated that in an optimistic scenario, clinical trials of the device could begin in 2027. Previously, a brain-computer interface user, Galen Buckwalter, learned to create music with the power of thought.

Ledger has introduced the AI Security Roadmap 2026, a document outlining how the company plans to protect users in a world where AI agents independently conduct transactions, manage wallets, and access confidential data. Today marks a major milestone for @Ledger.Ledger’s Chief Experience Officer, @iancr, is stepping into a new role as Chief Human Agency Officer. At the same time, we’re unveiling our Strategic AI Roadmap.This is more than a leadership change. It signals a fundamental shift.…— Pascal Gauthier @Ledger (@_pgauthier) April 14, 2026 Simultaneously, the company has introduced a new position: former CEO Ian Rogers has become the industry's first Chief Human Agency Officer. His role is to ensure that the proliferation of agents does not dilute users' personal control over their assets. Rogers has been with Ledger since 2020 and previously led the transformation of the brand from a niche device manufacturer to a global digital asset security company. The conceptual core of the entire strategy is the principle "Agents propose — humans sign." AI can analyze the market, build swap routes, and prepare transactions, but execution always requires physical confirmation on a Ledger device. The private key never leaves the Secure Element — under any circumstances and in no agent's software environment. The main points of the roadmap include: Device Management Kit (DMK) — already available to developers. It allows for the integration of hardware confirmation (human-in-the-loop) into any agent products. The first example: MoonPay Agents — a CLI tool where each agent transaction must be physically approved on the device; Hardware-bound identity — agents will be tied to hardware. This eliminates the vulnerability of software credentials, which are easily forged. The release is planned for the second quarter; Hardware-enforced permissions — spending policies and contract access enforced at the hardware level, not through software logic (the solution is expected to be presented in the third quarter); Proof of Human — a mechanism for confirming the unique identity behind an agent. The goal: to combat bots and multi-accounting. Certification is tied to the Secure Element and does not disclose personal data (planned for the fourth quarter). "The greatest threats arise when AI systems are given too broad access to credentials, wallets, and financial decisions — without human oversight. The number of agents is growing, and they operate incredibly fast. This is great until something goes wrong," Rogers stated. Earlier, scammers stole $9.5 million in cryptocurrencies through a phishing Ledger app in the App Store.

BitMine Immersion Technologies reported a net loss of $3.82 billion for the quarter ending February 28, 2026, due to a revaluation of its Ethereum reserves amidst a prolonged market downturn. Details can be found in their SEC filing. In comparison, the company lost $1.15 million during the same period last year. Over the past six months, total losses have exceeded $9 billion, with $3.78 billion attributed to unrealized losses from the decline in digital asset prices. Despite the market downturn, BitMine continues to acquire cryptocurrency. As of April 12, the company's assets included 4.87 million ETH, valued at approximately $10.7 billion. The average purchase price per coin was $2206. BitMine is the world's largest corporate holder of Ethereum. The company aims to control 5% of the total coin supply. Currently, its share stands at 4.04%. Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine's Board, described the drop in asset prices as an attractive opportunity for purchase, citing strong fundamentals. He believes the market is in the final stage of a "mini-crypto winter," and Ethereum's current price does not yet reflect its future financial utility. Increase in Staking Revenue Despite overall losses, BitMine's quarterly revenue rose from $1.5 million last year to $11.04 million this year. Nearly $10 million of this revenue came from staking Ethereum. The company has locked up 3.33 million ETH—about 68% of its reserves. The expected annual revenue from this segment is estimated at $212 million, with a current yield of 2.89%. The remaining profits were generated from mining, consulting, and leasing contracts. In addition to Ethereum, BitMine holds $719 million in cash and 198 BTC. The company also has stakes in Beast Industries ($200 million) and Eightco Holdings ($85 million). Earlier in April, BitMine reported the acquisition of 71,252 ETH valued at $152 million over the course of a week. On April 9, the company's shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
