Now Cognixion brings its AI communication application to Vision Pro, which according to Forsland has more functionality than a deliberately built AKSON-R. “Vision Pro gives you all your applications, the App Store, everything you want to do,” he says.
Apple opened the door to integration in May, when announced a new protocol To enable users arduous mobility disability to control the iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro without physical movement. Another BCI company, a synchron, whose implant is inserted into a blood vessel adjacent to the brain, also integrated its system with Vision Pro. (Apple is not known for the development of its own BCI.)
In the Cognixion process, the company replaced the Apple band with its own, which is embedded with six electrocephographic sensors or EEG. These collect information from the visual and parietal bark of the brain, located at the back of the head. In particular, the Cognixion system identifies visual fixation signals that occur when a person behaves eyes on the object. This allows users to choose from the Option menu in the interface using the mental attention itself. Neuron calculation package worn in the processing of brain data outside Vision Pro.
“The philosophy of our approach consists in reducing the amount of burdens generated by the person’s communication needs,” says Chris Ullrich, Cognixion technology director.
Current communication tools can lend a hand, but they are not perfect. For example, the low technological service of November allows patients to look at some letters, words or photos so that the guardian can guess their meaning, but time consuming. And vision tracking technology is still costly and not always reliable.
“In fact, we build artificial intelligence for every participant who is adapted to their speaking history, their style of their humor, everything they wrote, everything they said that we can gather. We pull it all in something that is the user’s proxy,” says Ullrich.
