Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) Company Synchron Announces World’s First Apple Vision Pro Use by a Patient with an Implanted Synchron Brain-Computer InterfaceMark, 64, who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on Apple Vision Pro via the Synchron brain-computer interface, enabling hands-free operation while playing cards, watching Apple TV, and sending text messages. Due to the loss of upper limb function, Mark is unable to use Apple Vision Pro, which requires hand gestures for item selection.Synchron BCI is implanted via minimally invasive endovascular surgery through the jugular vein into the blood vessels on the surface of the brain's motor cortex. After implantation, it can detect the brain's motor intentions and transmit them wirelessly, aiming to restore the ability of severely paralyzed patients to control personal devices through hands-free clicking.
