A 64-year-old man with ALS has become the first patient in the world to use an Apple Vision Pro via an implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) This means the patient is able to use the device using his thoughts rather than using hand or voice commands.

BCIs are designed to be used by people who struggle with neurological disabilities, such as a brain or spinal cord injury, or a degenerative disease like ALS .

ALS patient Mark Mark says he hopes his story encourages other ALS patients.

Croll said BCIs integrated with virtual reality could revolutionize the way neurologic patients are treated.

But there are ethical issues to consider, including privacy concerns and learning more if the technology has any impacts on a patient's brain function.
