Neuralink rival Synchron has successfully integrated its brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with Apple's Vision Pro headset, allowing patients to control the device using their thoughts. This groundbreaking development enables individuals with limited physical mobility, such as those suffering from ALS, to interact with the Vision Pro hands-free. Mark, a 64-year-old man with ALS, demonstrated the technology by using his thoughts to control the cursor on the Vision Pro. This integration marks an industry first and follows Synchron's previous tests with similar technology on the iPad and iPhone. The technology also integrates ChatGPT, enhancing its capabilities.
