Mark achieved unprecedented technological control by directing an iPad through mental commands alone. The ALS patient utilized Synchron's Stentrode implant combined with Apple's brain-computer interface protocol within iOS 26.

The Stentrode captures neural signals from the motor cortex and transmits data wirelessly to external decoders.
Apple integrated native BCI support directly into iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 through accessibility frameworks. The technology translates thought patterns into real-time device interactions. Mark demonstrates the...
