近日，苹果公司与初创公司Synchron合作，成功将脑机接口技术应用于其Vision Pro头显设备。这项创新技术为患有肌萎缩性侧索硬化症（ALS，俗称渐冻症）的患者Mark带来了新的希望。通过植入大脑的脑机接口设备，Mark无需使用双手即可直接通过意念操控Vision Pro头显，完成玩纸牌、观看Apple TV、发送短信等操作。
Synchron公司的脑机接口技术通过微创血管内手术植入患者运动皮层表面的血管中，能够检测大脑中的运动意图，并将这些信号无线传输到外部设备中，实现免手势操控。这项技术对于瘫痪患者来说是一个巨大的突破，有望为数百万患者提供新的生活可能性。
Synchron的首席执行官兼创始人Tom Oxley表示，Vision Pro是一个强大的系统，但目前仍依赖于手势控制用户界面。通过直接从大脑获取控制信号，Synchron正在推动人机交互的新标准，即不需要触摸或语音的交互方式。
目前，Synchron公司正在准备更大规模的临床研究，以扩大其脑机接口技术的应用范围。公司已经在美国为6名患者提供了植入手术，并在澳大利亚为4名患者进行了相关治疗。
随着这项技术的不断发展和完善，未来有望为更多因疾病或意外而失去身体控制能力的患者带来生活质量的提升，同时也为人工智能和人机交互领域带来新的发展机遇。

Title: Apple Vision Pro Headset Combines Brain-Machine Interface Technology for Mind-Controlled Operations
Article:
Recently, Apple has partnered with startup Synchron to successfully implement brain-machine interface (BMI) technology in its Vision Pro headset. This innovative technology has brought new hope to Mark, a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). By implanting a BMI device in his brain, Mark is now able to directly control the Vision Pro headset through his thoughts, without needing to use his hands, allowing him to play cards, watch Apple TV, send text messages, and perform other tasks.
Synchron’s BMI technology is implanted into the patient’s motor cortex surface through a minimally invasive vascular surgery, capable of detecting brain movement intentions and wirelessly transmitting these signals to external devices, enabling operation without hand gestures. This technology represents a significant breakthrough for patients who are paralyzed, offering new possibilities for millions of patients.
Synchron’s CEO and founder, Tom Oxley, stated that the Vision Pro is a powerful system that currently relies on hand gestures for user interaction. By directly accessing control signals from the brain, Synchron is pushing the envelope of human-computer interaction, introducing a new standard that does not require touch or voice commands.
Currently, Synchron is preparing for larger-scale clinical studies to expand the application of its BMI technology. The company has already performed implant surgeries for six patients in the United States and has treated four patients in Australia with related treatments.
As this technology continues to develop and improve, it is expected to bring quality-of-life improvements to more patients who have lost control of their bodies due to illness or accidents, as well as provide new opportunities for the development of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction.
