reccy insights
BCI-Sonics reached a significant financing milestone on Sep 22, 2026, announcing a CNY 200 million round, equivalent to approximately $29.9 million. The round is classified as Seed in the structured financing history, while related company coverage describes it as a Pre-A round; HSG and Yunqi Partners are identified as co-leads, with Sequoia China also associated with the transaction. This followed a CNY 100 million angel round announced on Jun 8, 2026, led by Delian Capital, Matrix Partners China, and Tao Capital. Across the two rounds, the company has raised approximately $44.6 million. Public attention during June and September focused on its AI ultrasound brain-computer interface platform and its ambition to apply focused ultrasound to therapeutic neuromodulation. The company is also recruiting in acoustics, neuroengineering, and AI algorithms, indicating that engineering and clinical-translation capabilities remain immediate priorities.

What makes BCI-Sonics (华超神控) distinct
- 01Uses low-intensity focused ultrasound for non-invasive neural modulation through mechanical effects rather than the tissue-heating approach associated with HIFU.
- 02Combines proprietary AI models and physics-informed neural networks to reconstruct transcranial acoustic fields and generate patient-specific treatment protocols in under 10 seconds.
- 03Claims sub-1.5 mm targeting precision through adaptive phase correction that compensates for skull refraction and scattering.
- 04Supports coordinated stimulation of deep nuclei, such as the thalamus, and superficial cortical regions using multi-layer ring arrays and phased deflection.
- 05Integrates closed-loop EEG feedback for neuromodulation and passive cavitation detection for blood-brain barrier opening applications.
