New wearable devices that read brain waves using EEG technology are emerging, aiming to improve sleep, boost productivity, and enable brain-controlled devices, with applications ranging from health treatment to gaming, raising privacy concerns about neuro data security.
Law enforcement agencies, including Ohio BCI and Bath Police, responded to a mass shooting at 933 Top-O-Hill Drive in Bath Township, Ohio, on November 2, 2025, with ongoing investigations.
A 65-year-old ALS patient, Mark Jackson, has become the first person to control an iPad solely by thought using an implantable brain-computer interface developed by Synchron, restoring independence in communication and device control. The technology translates brain signals into actions, offering new hope for those with motor impairments, though long-term effects and ethical concerns remain to be addressed.
Apple has demonstrated a new brain-controlled interface technology that allows users, including those with ALS, to control iPhone and iPad devices using only their thoughts, through a neural implant and a new BCI protocol, showcasing a significant advancement in accessibility and human-computer interaction.
The first person to receive a Neuralink brain implant has reportedly recovered and can control a computer mouse using their thoughts, according to Elon Musk. However, the company has been criticized for its lack of transparency regarding the testing and development of its brain implant. While Neuralink's device shows promising results, some scientists and bioethicists are calling for more openness about the research and the participant's condition, as well as the potential implications of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.
Elon Musk's brain-chip startup Neuralink has implanted its first human patient with a promising initial result of neuron spike detection, aiming to enable people to control a computer using their thoughts alone. The company's PRIME Study is evaluating the safety of its wireless brain-computer interface, but has faced scrutiny over safety protocols and fines for violating transportation rules.
Elon Musk announced that the first human patient has received a brain implant from his company Neuralink, which aims to achieve a symbiosis with artificial intelligence. The implant is designed to allow paralyzed individuals to control a cursor or keyboard with their brains. The company is recruiting participants with quadriplegia for a six-year clinical trial, and the initial results show promising neuron spike detection. However, Neuralink has faced controversy over its treatment of research animals and is competing with other companies in commercializing brain-computer interface systems.
The BCI has confirmed an officer-involved shooting at a hostage situation, with a stretcher seen being loaded into an ambulance at the scene.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations is investigating a police-involved shooting that occurred overnight in Tallmadge. The circumstances of the shooting are unknown, and it is unclear if an officer fired their weapon. No officers were injured in the incident.
