NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synchron, the brain-computer interface (BCI) company, today announced the first use of Amazon’s Alexa by one of the patients implanted with the Synchron brain computer interface.

纽约--（商业新闻短讯）--脑机接口（BCI）公司Synchron今天宣布，其中一名植入Synchron脑机接口的患者首次使用亚马逊的Alexa。

Mark, a 64-year old man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control his smart home via the Tap to Alexa feature on his Amazon Fire tablet. This capability allows Mark to utilize the Synchron brain computer interface to select customized tiles that perform pre-set Alexa actions, like turning on and off lights, making video calls, playing music and shows, controlling smart home devices, reading books on Kindle or purchasing items on Amazon—entirely hands and voice-free..

马克是一名64岁的肌萎缩侧索硬化症（ALS）患者，他通过亚马逊Fire平板电脑上的Tap to Alexa功能，成功地利用自己的直接思维控制了他的智能家居。这一功能使Mark能够利用Synchron脑机界面选择定制的瓷砖，这些瓷砖可以执行预设的Alexa操作，如开灯和关灯、打视频电话、播放音乐和节目、控制智能家居设备、在Kindle上阅读书籍或在亚马逊上购买完全无需手动和语音的物品。。

“The integration with smart technology and my BCI is something I'm really excited about. It's hard to imagine living in our modern world without the ability to access or control connected devices like Amazon’s Alexa and Echo products that are so prevalent in my daily life,” said Mark, a trial participant living with ALS who is using Synchron’s BCI platform.

马克是ALS的试用参与者，他正在使用Synchron的BCI平台，他说：“智能技术和我的BCI的融合让我非常兴奋。如果没有访问或控制亚马逊Alexa和Echo等在我日常生活中如此流行的互联设备的能力，很难想象生活在现代世界。”。

“To be able to manage important aspects of my environment and control access to entertainment gives me back the independence that I’m losing.'.

“能够管理环境的重要方面并控制对娱乐的访问，让我恢复了正在失去的独立性。”。

The integration of Synchron’s BCI technology with Alexa’s capabilities could allow users to control their environment both inside and outside their home, making every day routines more accessible and enhancing independence for those with severe paralysis. By trialing this integration with Alexa, Synchron aims to expand the possibilities for smart home automation, enabling patients to use their thoughts to interact with a wide range of Alexa-compatible devices, from lights and plugs to thermostats and cameras, without the need for voice or physical interaction with a touch-screen.

Synchron的BCI技术与Alexa的功能相结合，可以使用户控制家内外的环境，使日常生活变得更加容易，并增强严重瘫痪患者的独立性。通过尝试与Alexa的这种集成，Synchron旨在扩大智能家居自动化的可能性，使患者能够利用自己的想法与Alexa兼容的各种设备进行交互，从灯和插头到恒温器和相机，而不需要与触摸屏进行语音或物理交互。

The BCI system is designed to be simple to use and easy to learn. This integration reflects Synchron’s commitment to patient-first innovation in neurotechnology..

BCI系统设计为易于使用和学习。这种整合反映了Synchron对神经技术患者至上创新的承诺。。

“Synchron’s BCI is bridging the gap between neurotechnology and consumer tech, making it possible for people with paralysis to regain control of their environment. While many smart home systems rely on voice or touch, we are sending control signals directly from the brain, bypassing the need for these inputs,” said Tom Oxley, CEO & Founder, Synchron.

Synchron首席执行官兼创始人汤姆·奥克斯利（Tom Oxley）表示：“Synchron的脑机接口正在弥合神经技术和消费技术之间的鸿沟，使瘫痪患者能够重新控制自己的环境。虽然许多智能家居系统依赖于语音或触摸，但我们直接从大脑发送控制信号，从而不需要这些输入。”。

“We’re thrilled to utilize our BCI to access Alexa capabilities, so patients can interact with devices in their home hands and voice-free, using only their thoughts, to address a critical unmet need for millions of people with mobility and voice impairment.”.

“我们很高兴能利用我们的BCI访问Alexa功能，这样患者就可以在家中与设备进行交互，只需使用他们的想法，就可以无需语音，解决数百万行动不便和语音障碍患者的关键需求。”。

The Synchron BCI is implanted in the blood vessel on the surface of the motor cortex of the brain via the jugular vein, through a minimally-invasive endovascular procedure. Once implanted, it is designed to detect and wirelessly transmit motor intent out of the brain, intended to restore the capability for severely paralyzed people to control personal devices with hands-free point-and-click..
