Watch Brain-Controlled iPad in Action for the First Time


For the first time, an individual has been seen publicly controlling an iPad entirely through thought, thanks to Apple's new brain-computer...

A new video from Synchron shows how Mark, a participant in the company's COMMAND clinical study and a person living with ALS, can navigate the ‌iPad‌'s Home Screen, launch apps, and compose text, all without moving his hands, speaking, or using his eyes. Unlike Neuralink's more invasive N1 chip, which embeds electrodes directly into brain tissue, Synchron's approach avoids open-brain surgery, relying on a safer, catheter-based procedure through the jugular vein. Apple says that Adaptive Power Mode can make "small performance adjustments" when necessary to extend an iPhone's battery life, including slightly lowering the display brightness or allowing some activities to "take a little longer."
