But she has since extended her homemade tech to recognize enough distinct EEG patterns to replace every input she needs to play the game.

Karyal has completed the game using early versions of the system, which could produce only a small number of inputs. “I have spent more hours training the EEG than I have in the game, and I have over 250 hours in the game.” -Perri Karyal, Twitch gaming streamer This allows her to control her Elden Ring character–swinging weapons, casting spells, and dodging enemy attacks–by evoking those same patterns in brain activity. Karyal says she designed the system to recognize repeatable patterns in EEG measurements–electrical oscillations recorded from a headset placed on a person’s scalp–and to in turn simulate the act of pressing a button on a game pad or keyboard. This month, Karyal demonstrated a fully hands-free version of the controller live on her stream.
