Brain control in video games: streamer develops technology to control games with the mind

In the industry of video gameswhere imagination meets technology, a revolution emerges that promises to transform the way we interact with this electronic universe.

In this scenario, a streamer is breaking new horizons by introducing brain control, an innovation that challenges the conventional barriers of physical controls.

This revolutionary new method of playing games electronic devices with just mind commands promises to be a promising and pioneering technique. With head movements and mental commands, even action games are possible to be played with this technology.

Perrikaryal, a streamer known for playing video games with just her mind, is revolutionizing the industry by using an electroencephalogram (EEG) to control shooter games like “Halo: Infinite” and “Valorant”. This opens up possibilities for accessibility in genres previously considered inaccessible without traditional devices. game.

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a technology that records the electrical activity of the brain. It involves placing electrodes on the surface of the scalp to detect and record electrical oscillations generated by brain cells, called brain waves.

EEG is widely used in medicine to diagnose neurological disorders. Furthermore, it is also being explored in various applications, including brain-computer interfaces to control devices, such as video games, with the power of the thought.

See part of the interview with Perrikaryal at NerdBunker:

“It looks like something straight out of the X-Men. The electrodes have pads soaked in saline solution, that is, salt water, to make them conductive and obtain a better reading. EEG data represents the brain activity it captures and consists of all the different types of brain waves, how many of those brain waves there are, and approximately where they come from.”
