Motif Neurotech Receives FDA Approval for Clinical Trial on Depression Treatment
Motif Neurotech, a company specializing in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology for mental health, has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin its first clinical trial. The trial, known as the RESONATE Early Feasibility Study, will evaluate the Motif XCS System, a wirelessly powered implant designed to deliver electrical stimulation to a specific brain region. This stimulation aims to reduce symptoms of depression in adults who have not found relief from two or more medications. The study will be conducted at eight leading medical institutions, including Baylor College of Medicine and Massachusetts General Brigham. The primary goal is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the device over a 12-month period.
