Mark Jackson, paralyzed at 65, plays a computer game using a brain-computer interface (BCI) by Synchron. He controls a cursor by thinking about clenched fists, achieving high success rates. The BCI decodes brain signals, allowing him to engage with various devices, including sending messages and shopping online. Jackson's medical challenges began with a severe diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative condition that impacts muscle control, after initially believing he had a pinched nerve.
Mark Jackson, a 65-year-old paralyzed man, uses his thoughts to control a computer game through a brain-computer interface, achieving impressive success in gameplay.
Synchron's brain-computer interface, unlike others, avoids open-skull surgery and enables users to interact with devices using thought patterns.
