About

Jizong Zhao is a pioneering neurosurgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the frontiers of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and robotic neurosurgery. His key research areas include minimally invasive neural interfaces, autonomous surgical robotics, and craniotomy safety. Zhao’s most notable contribution is the development of the “brain nebula” concept—a minimally invasive BCI that uses endovascular recording and stimulation, eliminating the need for open brain surgery. This breakthrough, detailed in his 2024 paper (18 citations), offers a safer, less invasive pathway to direct brain-device communication. In parallel, Zhao has advanced robotic craniotomy with algorithms for automatic drilling and milling, as demonstrated in his 2023 (11 citations) and 2024 (4 citations) studies. These works address the critical challenge of preserving the dura mater during skull drilling, enhancing precision and reducing complications. By integrating autonomous motion control, Zhao’s robots operate with minimal surgeon intervention, promising greater reliability in neurosurgery. With a growing citation impact, Zhao’s work stands at the intersection of neurotechnology and robotics, offering transformative potential for treating craniocerebral diseases and injuries. His contributions are paving the way for safer, more effective, and fully autonomous neurosurgical systems.
