Apple is working on technology that could turn the Apple Vision Pro into a brainwave reader to improve mental health, assist with training and workouts, and help with mindfulness.
The technology in this patent would allow the Apple Vision Pro— or any future headset— to form a brain-computer interface, such as a noninvasive neural interface. Does this mean that future Apple AR/VR headsets can read your mind? Yes and no.
The technology would monitor a body’s many systems like the heart, lungs, and brain regions. Specifically for the brain, this can help determine if the brain’s learning centers are active or if brainwaves are showing a panic response.
