    How AI engines see them

    Recognized by 5 of 5 measured engines. Updated 2026-10-26

    The engines agree that Thomas Oxley founded and leads Synchron and is known for the Stentrode, an endovascular brain-computer interface that avoids open-brain surgery and aims to help people with severe paralysis. Copilot adds his Melbourne and Mount Sinai roles and over 1,600 endovascular procedures. Gemini and Google AI Mode add that Synchron began after he treated a patient with locked-in syndrome. Perplexity compares his approach with intracortical and noninvasive BCIs. All five engines name him.
