Cortera Neurotechnologies
Acquired by Nia Therapeutics · 2019 Cortera Neurotechnologies was an Invasive Cortical Implants company founded in 2013 and based in Berkeley, United States. It was acquired by Nia Therapeutics in 2019.
Cortera Neurotechnologies developed ultra-thin, flexible micro-electrocorticography (micro-ECoG) electrode arrays — conformable surface arrays that record cortical activity without penetrating tissue — paired with ultra-low-power wireless readout circuits. Spun out of UC Berkeley from the labs of Michel Maharbiz and Rikky Muller, its technology was acquired by Nia Therapeutics in 2019 to advance closed-loop neuromodulation for memory and cognitive applications.
Its conformable polymer micro-ECoG approach was an early bet on minimally-invasive surface cortical interfaces — aiming for higher biocompatibility and longevity than rigid penetrating silicon arrays, an approach now central to the field.
