Thoughts are now an input device.

Today, Apple announced its new BCI Human Interface Device ( ) protocol—and Synchron is proud to be the first brain-computer interface company to achieve native integration with iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro.
That means:

🧠 No touch.
🧠 No voice.
🧠 No movement.

Just thought.

Using Synchron’s brain-computer interface, people with paralysis can now control Apple devices directly with their minds.

Apple is formally recognizing brain signals as a native input category—joining the ranks of touch, keyboard, and voice. That’s a paradigm shift not just in accessibility, but in how we think about interacting with technology.
We're grateful to Apple’s accessibility team, our clinical collaborators, and—most of all—the patients leading the way.

Excited to announce our expanded collaboration with Team Gleason focused on raising awareness of Synchron’s Community.

The collaboration highlights a shared commitment to empowering people living with paralysis and accelerating the development of innovative solutions.

We’re thrilled to expand our collaboration with Synchron Inc. to raise awareness about their BCI Community, an initiative dedicated to empowering people with disabilities and advancing the development of brain-computer interface (BCI) solutions.

“At Team Gleason, we are committed to ensuring that the voices of people living with neurological conditions remain at the forefront of innovation, driving the development of solutions that truly meet their needs," said Blair Casey, Executive Director of Team Gleason.

Synchron’s BCI Community is making strides to revolutionize the approach to paralysis and severe motor impairments by:

✅ Gathering insights to shape cutting-edge BCI technology

✅ Offering individuals with paralysis the opportunity to learn about Synchron’s upcoming clinical trials

This collaboration is a vital step toward accelerating the development of life-changing solutions for those living with ALS and other conditions. Read more about our collaboration here: https://loom.ly/msC4T8A

We're thrilled to support Her ALS Story on their latest community retreat. By working with this organization and others like it, we're striving to raise awareness about ALS care and learn from people with lived experience to develop a Brain Computer Interface ( ) that fits the needs of its users.

If you’re an ALS patient, caregiver, advocate, or clinical provider, we invite you to join the Synchron BCI Community - https://synchronbci.com/ - for news and updates about future trials. And be sure to follow Her ALS Story to learn more about their advocacy.

Excited to announce the first use of Synchron's with !

Mark, a 64-year old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ), successfully used his direct thoughts to control his smart home via the Tap to feature on his Amazon Fire tablet. This capability allows Mark to utilize the Synchron brain computer interface to select customized tiles that perform pre-set Alexa actions, like turning on and off lights, making video calls, playing music and shows, controlling smart home devices, reading books on Kindle or purchasing items on Amazon—entirely hands and voice-free.
