synchron's brain implant lets users navigate iPhones and iPads using only their minds
Briefly

Synchron has achieved a significant breakthrough in neurotechnology by integrating its brain-computer interface (BCI) with Apple devices. This innovation, utilizing the Stentrode™ system and Apple's BCI Human Interface Device (HID) protocol, allows users to control iPhones, iPads, and Apple Vision Pro with their thoughts, marking a key moment for accessibility. The system transforms neural activity into real-time interaction, improving autonomy for individuals with motor impairments like ALS and stroke. Furthermore, it fosters bidirectional communication, enhancing user experience through contextual feedback, and evolving the interface as users interact with it.
Marking a major leap in neurotechnology and accessibility, Synchron is the first company to achieve native integration between a brain-computer interface (BCI) and Apple devices, enabling people to control iPhones, iPads, and Apple Vision Pro with nothing but their thoughts.
With BCI recognized as a native input for Apple devices, there are new possibilities for people living with paralysis and beyond.
Unlike traditional assistive tech that mimics physical inputs, Synchron's BCI enables bidirectional communication with devices, allowing for contextual feedback based on UI layouts and screen content.
This closed-loop system means the more the user engages, the smarter and more intuitive the interface becomes.
