Apple is reportedly entering the brain-computer interface (BCI) field, introducing a new technology that could one day revolutionize how humans interact with their devices.According to reports from Caixin, Apple is venturing into the brain-computer interface field, launching a new technology that may fundamentally change the way humans interact with devices.
Apple is taking early steps to develop next-generation brain implants that can read neural signals, enabling users to control an iPhone using only their minds.Apple is taking initial measures to attempt to read neural signals through next-generation brain implants, allowing users to control the iPhone with their brains.
This innovation is expected to benefit tens of thousands of people who are unable to use their hands due to severe spinal cord injuries or ALS.This technology is expected to make it easier for tens of thousands of individuals who cannot use their hands due to severe spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to use Apple devices.
BCI technology enables Apple devices to interpret user intent by decoding brain signals, without needing to detect any physical movement.Brain-computer interface technology allows Apple devices to understand user intent by decoding brain signals without needing to detect specific physical actions.
According to reports, Apple is working with brain-computer interface company Synchron to develop a new standard for BCI.Reports indicate that Apple is collaborating with the brain-computer interface company Synchron to develop a new standard.
Synchron’s device, called Stentrode, resembles a stent and can be implanted into the vein above the motor cortex of the brain.Synchron’s device, named Stentrode, resembles a stent and can be implanted into the vein above the brain’s motor cortex.
It reads brain signals via electrodes and translates them into commands for selecting icons on a screen.The device reads brain signals through electrodes and translates them into commands for selecting icons on a screen.
Stentrode translates brainwaves into screen commands and works with Apple’s “Switch Control” feature, which enables users to shift control to new input devices—like joysticks or, in this case, brain implants.Stentrode converts brainwaves into screen commands and works with Apple’s
