Exclusive: Synchron on Tuesday announced it has connected its brain implant to Apple's Vision Pro in an industry first. This means patients with limited physical mobility can control the headset with just their thoughts. Apple released the Vision Pro earlier this year, and users typically control it with eye movements, voice commands and hand gestures. Synchron has been working to make it accessible to patients who can’t speak or move their upper limbs. Synchron is building a brain-computer interface, or a BCI, that uses neural signals to help patients with paralysis operate their personal electronics. The company has implanted its system in in six patients in the U.S. and four in Australia as part of clinical studies. I spoke with a 64-year-old Synchron patient named Mark who has been learning how to control the Vision Pro with his BCI. So far, he's used it to send texts, play Solitaire and watch TV, and he's still exploring new applications. “It’s just another avenue for me to be able to experience some independence,” he said.

CNBC reporter Ashley Capoot speaks with Mark who is the first person to control Apple Vision Pro using his thoughts. 🧠🧠 "It's just another avenue for me to be able to experience some independence," Mark told CNBC in an interview. For instance, Mark said he can't lift his arms to paint anymore, so he's learning how to use the Vision Pro to create art. He's also enjoyed using an app that lets him look at constellations in the sky, he said. "This is the beginning of a new therapeutic option to restore the ability to engage with digital technology that we take for granted," Thomas Oxley said. "That's what this represents."

Excited to announce the world’s first-ever use of Apple Vision Pro, by one of the patients implanted with the #Synchron brain computer interface. 🧠🧠 Mark, a 64-year old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on the Apple Vision Pro when he played Solitaire, watched Apple TV and sent text messages using the Synchron brain computer interface, hands-free. Mark is otherwise unable to use the Apple Vision Pro due to the loss of function of his upper limbs. Apple Vision Pro requires hand gestures to make item selections. “This is pretty cool, I've been wanting to try this for a while now,” Mark said in reaction to using his BCI to watch a video on the Vision Pro. “It's like watching it in the theater, it really comes to life. Using this type of enhanced reality is so impactful and I can imagine it would be for others in my position or others who have lost the ability to engage in their day-to-day life. It can transport you to places you never thought you’d see or experience again.” Read the release: https://lnkd.in/ewwAux_p #BCI #neurotech

Thank you to The ALS Association for hosting this impactful event. Our team had an amazing time meeting your community members and participating in the #icebucket10! If we didn't get to meet you at the event - head to www.synchronbci.com to learn more about how #BrainComputerInterfaces can support people with #ALS or loss of motor function.
I'm thrilled to have attended #ALSNexus in Dallas and taken part in the 10th anniversary of the ice bucket challenge! It was wonderful connecting with clinicians, people living with ALS, and all of those in the community working to make ALS liveable. Thanks to everyone who stopped by Synchron's booth and the #ALSassociation for putting it together.

Synchron's adoption of artificial intelligence into its brain-computer interface is a step towards transhumanism, says the company’s brain-surgeon CEO Thomas Oxley, but that’s not why they’re doing it. 🖋 Mark Whittaker for Forbes Australia
