Summary
Synchron has revealed the latest version of its brain-computer interface (BCI)
The tool, which uses Nvidia and Apple Vision Pro technology, enables individuals with paralysis to control their physical and digital environments through the power of thought.
In a demonstration at the Nvidia GTC conference this week, Synchron showed how its system allowed a trial participant, Rodney Gorham, to control several devices in his Melbourne home using only his thoughts.
Gorham has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which has left him paralyzed and without the use of his voice.
Synchron’s BCI is trained on extensive brain data to make the AI more intuitive, and eventually, it is hoped it will allow for seamless performance of a range of tasks.
The company plans to build an AI model using brain data from its current and future trial participants to improve the accuracy of the BCI.
However, some training on each individual user will still be needed.
