Apple Vision Pro will support brain-computing interface devices (BCI) this year, thanks to the partnership with Synchron.
“No touch, no voice, no movement”; Thoughts as an entry device is the promise of Apple’s new partnership with the young Startup Synchron – the first biomedical to integrate devices of the technology giant.
Your next iPhone will possibly be controlled with the mind. This is because Apple has established a partnership with a biomedical startup to allow the use of iPhones and vision pro controlled by thoughts.
Young New York Synchron is bringing to her Brain-Computer Interface (ICC) For the technology giant to allow users to control devices such as iPhones, iPads and Apple Vision Pro… with the mind.
Apple Vision Pro will get support for brain-computer interface (BCI) devices later this year, starting with Synchron’s Stentrode.

“Using the Synchron brain-computing interface, people with paralysis can now control Apple devices directly with their minds,” the company explained in.
Unlike Elon Musk’s, which requires invasive brain surgery, Synchron resorts to a minimally invasive endovascular method, with its main technology, Stentrode – A small tubular mesh implanted through the blood vessels designed to detect brain signs, which are then transmitted wireless to connected devices.
O recent success From technology in real life – a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (she) used technology to operate an Apple Vision Pro headset, with which he managed to send messages and watch videos, among other activities, when using only his mind – paved the way for partnership with Apple, who has officially recognized neural entry as a method of native control in his devices, along with touch, voice and typing in “decisive moment For the interaction between humans and devices, ”said Synchron founder and neurologist Tom Oxley.
It gets even more Sci-Fi!
Apple also announced that the future accessibility update will include a new protocol to allow Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) to control iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS devices without any physical movements

Founded in 2016 and with the support of technology tycoons, such as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, Synchron thus becomes the first biomedical company to be directly integrated with Apple’s new ICC profile.
The next phase involves the expansion of clinical trials later this year. The company aims to test technology functionality with participants facing serious physical disabilities such as paralysis, with the aim of restoring digital access to those who currently cannot use devices.
