Thought-Controlled iPhone: Hands-Free Operation Ahead
Here's a fresh take on the article:
Yo, did ya hear that Apple's cookin' up something wild, eh? They're teaming up with the brainy dudes over at Synchron to introduce a groundbreaking tech – the Stentrode neuroimplant. This be the next-level biz, allowing peeps with significant motor impairments to cruise their smartphones and other smart devices like a boss, using their noggin instead of their mitts or voice!
Now, hold your horses, since it's not yet clear when we'll see the official rollout. Sources spill the beans that the software dev and integration with Apple gear will wrap up by the end of 2025.
Synchron already ran the tech through some trials, starting in 2019, and installed the Stentrode in 10 individuals who are coping with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In one experiment, a brave participant was even able to operate an Apple Vision Pro headset using neurocontrol!
Of course, Apple ain't a stranger to causing a stir. Remember those worldwide warnings issued to iPhone users in 100 countries about that pesky spyware back in the day?
Source: 1 – Apple plans to introduce a standard for developers to facilitate the integration of brain implant inputs into software by the end of 2025. 5 – The Stentrode implant was tested on 10 people since 2019, including Mark Jackson, who successfully controlled an Apple Vision Pro headset with the device. Although the Stentrode still needs FDA approval, it's still starting to make waves, suggesting that its future use with smartphones and other devices could take quite some time.
I am excited about the potential of the Stentrode neuroimplant in the field of health-and-wellness, as it could significantly improve the lives of people with motor impairments.
By integrating this technology with medical-conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), we can possibly address neurological disorders and advance the scope of science.
In the future, I envision that this collaboration between technology and health-and-wellness could lead to other innovative solutions, revolutionizing how we interact with our smart devices.
