Mind Over Matter: Controlling Apple’s Vision Pro with Pure Thought

Dr Mark van Rijmenam, CSP -

What if the future of technology isn’t in your hands, but in your mind?

Neurotech startup Synchron has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by connecting its brain-computer interface (BCI) to Apple’s Vision Pro headset, allowing patients with paralysis to control the device using only their thoughts.

This innovation offers a new level of independence for individuals with limited mobility who can now use the BCI to interact with the Vision Pro to send texts, create art, and explore the stars—activities once out of reach due to his degenerative condition.

As the BCI industry heats up, Synchron's approach, which avoids open brain surgery by inserting the device through the jugular vein, sets it apart. With more extensive clinical studies on the horizon, the integration of BCI with consumer technology could redefine what it means to interact with the digital world.

But as these devices become more advanced, we must ask: Are we ready to embrace a future where thoughts control technology?
