APPLE'S NEW BRAIN-CONTROLLED IPHONE, IPAD TECH REVEALED IN VIDEO
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Synchron recently published a video of a patient controlling their iPad entirely with their thoughts. Apple is developing ways for Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to translate brain signals into controls for its devices. The Synchron BCI is implanted in the brain's motor cortex using a minimally invasive endovascular procedure that involves inserting a catheter through the jugular vein. Synchron's device has been implanted in 10 people so far. The video of the patient controlling an iPad with their mind is available in the article.
