Brain Implant Enables Thought Control of Apple Vision Pro

Synchron's BCI technology allows ALS patients to interact with AR/VR devices without physical input, enhancing accessibility and independence.

A 64-year-old ALS patient successfully used the Vision Pro headset via thought control enabled by Synchron's brain-computer interface (BCI).
The BCI is implanted through a minimally invasive procedure and transmits motor intent from the brain to external devices.
The technology allows users to perform tasks like playing games, watching TV, and sending messages without hand gestures or voice commands.
This development marks a significant step forward in accessibility for individuals with severe mobility limitations.
Synchron plans to expand its clinical trials and seeks FDA approval for broader commercialization.
