Synchron, a brain-computer interface (BCI) company, has unveiled the roadmap to Chiral, which the company describes as “a foundation model of human cognitions, marking the emergence of Cognitive AI.”
Cognitive AI is artificial intelligence trained directly on human neural activity. Synchron is advancing BCI from supervised to self-supervised learning, accelerating the transition by combining large-scale neural data with advanced NVIDIA AI-powered computing, says Tom Oxley, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and founder, Synchron.
At GTC 2025, Synchron demonstrated how its AI-enabled BCI, powered by the NVIDIA Holoscan platform, could be displayed on the Apple Vision Pro, allowing individuals to control digital and physical environments using Synchron’s Stentrode direct thought-control technology.
A highlight of the event was Synchron’s release of exclusive footage showcasing the real-world impact of its BCI technology. The video featured Rodney, a Synchron BCI user living with ALS, who despite losing the ability to use his hands, operated and controlled his digital home environment entirely hands-free, voice-free, and touch-free. Using direct thought-control, he adjusted lighting, played music, controlled temperature, and even activated appliances – made possible with the ability to navigate with your eyes and BCI-control of the AssistiveTouch features on Apple Vision Pro.
