Brain implant lets patients control Apple devices via thoughts [Updated]
- Synchron has demonstrated the use of Apple's Vision Pro headset controlled directly by thoughts through a brain-computer interface technology.
- This innovation could have implications beyond aiding individuals with severe mobility limitations in accessing advanced technology.
- Synchron achieved native integration with Apple's BCI Human Interface Device profile, allowing users to control devices with thoughts.
- Mark, a person with ALS, successfully controlled the Vision Pro cursor using thoughts via a tiny implanted BCI.
- The BCI communicates wirelessly with a device on the patient's chest, enabling hands-free device control for paralyzed individuals.
- BCI integration with Vision Pro signifies progress in accessibility and human-computer interaction, especially for those with limited mobility.
- The technology could transform AR/VR experiences for individuals with disabilities, opening up new possibilities for communication and interaction.
- Potential applications include expanded accessibility, medical use, enhanced communication, educational opportunities, professional applications, and entertainment.
- Widespread adoption may depend on factors like cost, ease of use, and further clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy.
- The evolving technology blurs boundaries between thought and digital interaction, hinting at a future revolutionizing how we interact with the world.
