A 2002 merger with Bionic Technologies, co-founded by Brian Hatt and Richard A. Normann (the inventor of the Utah array) added to a tech team armed with intellectual property rights gained from Brown, MIT, and others.

According to their latest SEC filing, the Founders of the company resigned from the Board of Directors at the end of October 2008.

In late 2004, Cyberkinetics initiated a reverse merger with a Texas company in order to gain access to the public market.

The resulting company was renamed Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, Inc. and its shares are listed under the symbol CYKN.OB.
