This company just announced that its mind-reading chip, which makes Apple’s Vision Pro feel futuristic, has hit a major milestone in accessibility and neurotechnology.
Synchron is a company that has created a category-defining Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) coupled with a Human Interface Device (HID) that basically links people’s brains with their Apple devices.
This BCI HID enables hands-free and voice-free access for people with motor impairments like ALS or stroke, and it could be potentially life-changing.
The company calls it more than an accessibility tool and says ‘it’s a next-generation interface layer’, giving some freedom back to people who struggle with touch, voice commands, and typing.

We know that mind-reading chips sound dauntingly Black Mirror-esque, but this gadget has been created to give those who have lost the ability to touch, speak, or type a helping hand.
The BCI HID has been created by a company called Synchron who have partnered with Apple so that people’s brain chips can link with their personal Apple products like iPhones, iPads, and interestingly, Apple Vision Pro.
When clinical trial patients were asked what they would like to get out of their mind-reading chip, it seemed to overwhelmingly be communication and creativity that they needed the support of the chip for.
Back in 2019, Synchron became the first company to begin actual clinical tests of their mind-reading chips or anything similar to them.
They’re hoping that controlled rollouts of the chips could start as early as late 2025.
This is not the first time we’ve seen companies use tech for good and to help support people with disabilities to get their lives back.
But the BCI HID will particularly help people with motor disabilities like ALS, stroke effects, and spinal cord injuries.
The mind-reading implant will continue to develop and hopefully a diagnosis of a motor disability will become less of a stressful experience for people thanks to this new chip.
