How Synchron's BCI Works?

Synchron’s BCI is like a special radio that lets your brain talk to a computer.

Imagine you’re playing with a walkie-talkie. Your brain sends messages through wires in your arm, kind of like how your voice goes through the walkie-talkie. Synchron’s BCI uses a tiny device placed near your spine, which acts like a receiver that listens to those messages and sends them to a computer.

How it connects

The device is like a bridge between your brain and the computer. It picks up signals from your brain, kind of like how you pick up sounds with your ears, and turns them into something the computer can understand, just like how a phone changes your voice into text messages.

Why it’s special

This works without needing wires going through your head or your arm, it’s more like a secret tunnel that lets your brain send messages to the computer directly. It's like having a super-fast walkie-talkie that doesn’t need you to shout, just think!
