Neuralink rival Synchron syncs Apple Vision Pro to paralyzed patient’s thoughts


A man with paralysis uses Synchron's brain-computer interface to control the Apple Vision Pro solely with his thoughts.

However, with Synchron’s state-of-the-art BCI implant, he can now seamlessly navigate and interact with the Apple Vision Pro’s interface, play games, watch videos, and even send text messages using only his brain signals. While BCI has been used previously for different tasks, this is the first time that it has been utilized to control the Vision Pro, an immersive device blending digital content with the real world. “Once implanted, it is designed to detect and wirelessly transmit motor intent out of the brain, intended to restore the capability for severely paralyzed people to control personal devices with hands-free point-and-click,” explained the company through its press release.
