AppleInsider spotlighted Cognixion, the Santa Barbara-based neurotech company, for its innovative clinical research approach that will see participants use Apple Vision Pro as part of a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) technology approach for communication – no surgery required.
The study explores how Cognixion’s AI-powered BCI communication tools can integrate with Apple’s accessibility features like Gaze Tracking and Dwell Control to help individuals with ALS, spinal cord injuries, and other speech or severe mobility challenges communicate naturally using their thoughts.
What the Company Said
“Apple has set a global standard by making accessibility integral to every device, and Apple Vision Pro extends that commitment to spatial computing,” said Andreas Forsland, CEO of Cognixion. “By exploring how Cognixion’s non-invasive BCI technology and AI applications can work with Apple’s accessibility features, we hope to unlock new levels of independence and connection for people living with ALS, spinal cord injuries, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries.”
Cognixion CTO Chris Ullrich added: “This study is about understanding the patient experience – what happens when advanced accessibility features meet new neural input methods.”
