This is propaganda. This is made to promote the idea that this technology should be used for everyone instead of just special use cases as it is now approved for. Such as people with disabilities. “Not being able to use this tech to hang out with yours friends online”, is not an “accessibly issue”. Please just stop with this crap @GreatBigStory. Don’t by into to it folks.
supposedly the people who tried apple vision pro like marques said it was almost like mind control so i can see where apple can go now with their headset. i imagine all the people with mobility problems that can afford one would at least check it out
I imagine there's quite a few major gaming companies that are going to be reaching out to her soon. Like imagine someone with als or another such disease who could finally play games again?
This is propaganda to promote the approval of general use for these types mind tech interfaces. They are making this to support the idea that there is positive value for general population use. Which is very limited and heavily negated by the overwhelming negative effects on mental health and society. Under capitalism this will not be used the way many of you are thinking….Think more the way Social Media, and Search Engines went, not some future utopia for us all. Sorry to say this is going to be used for control and manipulation. At the moment there is only approval for special use in disabilities. And that’s how it needs to stay. General use will not be useful to anyone but the top.
That is the most powerful yet succinct way to phrase this that I have heard yet. I'm always reminded of people criticizing folx who struggle to afford their basic bills but won't sell their Xbox. Not even a newest model or anything. Like an original Xbox or 360 or whatever older-gen gaming system. That's not exclusive to older systems, but it's the most unreasonable idea, as if a one-time $30 now will do more for them long term than having the one simple stress relief they already own. Or even for buying one nice thing for themselves, like any hobby. That doesn't even cover all the other ways people need more than just being not dead. So, exactly as you put it.
@@ramseykingston4634 people are so confident saying things they wouldn't do themselves. they think "oh this person should do everything right with no excuses, even if i excuse myself every day of the week"
This device is already available, from what I understood she applied programming knowledge to make it work in games. For disability... I think not so much. You can research PC Eye 5. They basically produce two eye tracking devices - One (Tobii eye tracker 5) is build for gamers and works only in games. PC eye 5 is build around general Windows usage, and is made for disabled people. So you can hope to get something similar that works in games (maybe for a limited camera control and such). Disabled people would need help with using the computer itself and here they would benefit the most. I speak from my experience, I have a condition that manifest similarly to what you mentioned.
Getting the mental commands to work is seriously impressive. I've made music instruments using EEG mappings, but training my mind to produce specific waveforms I found super difficult.
How did you buy an eeg? Can you tell me a model? I really want to make "magic" even if it take me years to have the money and prepare all Edit, i found the model, but you need more than the EEG to make work with games, so ill do something with that in some years maybe.
Like she said It's based on your brain activity not mind reading. Simply if you think "Turn left" the program doesn't know that cause it's not mind reading it's based on your brain activity. If mind-reading exist no one in court would be lying. She uses her imagination to increase or decrease her brain activity.
Fr. It's definitely amazing to be apart of the time where the gaming future is at least coming a bit into play, clearly. But still, I wish we were further along. The future is games we can control with our minds. Except we wouldn't be thinking of like "moving blocks" and such, but rather literally casting our "1st spell" and moving forward, moon walking, vaulting things, jumping ontop or over things, "equipping our second item", etc. And then after that, the future after that; games that we feel we are actually inside. And our vision is just the game.
You are not lucky. Everyday we inch closer to the mental prison in the matrix. Imagine if the government gets there hands on this and force everyone to stay permanently in a VR like world. The dystopia future only seen in movies are upon us yet nobody seems interested in doing anything about it. We are royally fuxked.
It's been a number of years since I first saw a demonstration of how this _could_ work seamlessly for gaming controls but now it looks like this is a complete proof of concept. It's wild that technology has come this far.
doesnt look good for fps her aim was awful but for anything low apm it looks incredible it would be amazing for strategy games you could lie down with a headset and play fully relaxed even out in the sun lol.
I agree, does not seem too great. Though, don't overlook the obvious, it is developing, needs years until it is actually consumer ready. Nonetheless very cool. I thing this will go far along VR or AR@@xazarl3381

This tech is apparently really old, it's origin goes back to 1929. "The discovery of electroencephalography (EEG) in 1929 by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger was a historical breakthrough providing a new neurologic and psychiatric diagnostic tool at the time, especially considering the lack of all those now available in daily practice".
@@eldritchbidoof Honestly mate, she didn't even do much coding, the device comes with a premade set of tools already. This is heavily over-exaggerated. If I was being interviewed, I would feel uncomfortable with the amount of undeserved praise.
@@SCARRIOR so do I. Imagine you just like using x360ce to convert your controller to be used as windows games controller. but one thing you still could be proud of is, you can clearly tell them the fruit of your research. like, how you could use imagination of pushing something as something you can thought of to trigger a mind reading instead of telling them to just try and see what kind of explicit mind reading that you could pull off everytime almost without mistake and take those as a reading then translate them into a game command then again, if there is more people who are willing to test this technology, we could find even more ways people think and get what spectrum if the best to use and translate them into actions
People never realize how good technology has gotten, assuming it must all be decades off. Until it suddenly appears right in front of them, seemingly from nowhere. It's wild stuff!
Not really idk much about this but already knew that this worked but your mind has to be focused I mean there are car toy and drone for this If I am not mistaken, but she said like she practiced A LOT so I suppose is was already like that but we didn't see because nobody took practice Is like a normal person watch highschool baseball then go to pro mlb and say OH BASEBALL HAS EVOLVED LOOK HOW FAST THEY THROW
it's not real you're being fooled lmao this is one hundred percent fake. there are real companies like neurolink and you're required to do brain surgery for something like this to work.
She explained such a complex thing with so much ease and clarity that I understood it perfectly and I'm blown away by how much sense it all does make!! This is HUGE and can be implemented into so many other things, I really believe this has a potential to change the world as we know it (and for the better!) I'm sure we're not looking just at a future Nobel Prize winner here, but someone much, much bigger! Also, she's so beautiful!
@@bananamonkeygaming14 I like to imagine my own narrative, I play mostly doom 2 mod combos, having to think about boxes intensely the whole time doesn't sound great.

My arms and hands are starting to go to shit so maybe I'll need this at some point. It's gonna expose a lot of NPCs though who can't visualize.

In more ways than one. Not only could they play games, but as this technology improves, it could also be applied to controlling their wheelchair themselves, maybe some robotic limbs, and maybe one day even full robosuits lol.
The accessibility potential for this is huge! I hope this gets the support and funding to develop further People with paralysis and other motor disabilities would be able to experience games too!

@@zeusolympus1664 WTF no one is suggesting that because that's not possible. This is decades of development, countless thousands of people and technology I.P. being fought over by dozens of companies. When tech is this advance it took a massive army and decades to develop it.

I need this so much in my life. I have adhd and play videogames and it is so difficult to focus like you say. This would 100% be able to keep me locked into what im doing.
Think it would be the opposite. It seems like this already takes training in high focus while maintaining very specific thought preferences. I would say. Vr would make this hundreds of times harder to play because you get immersed, therefore reducing your ability to maintain focus and correctly trained thoughts. I would surmise very few people would actually be good at it, even if it even gets that far. Likely a cult following like vr standards now. More than half of ppl who use vr already get sick in moderate use like an hour or so.

😭😭 yeah eeg tech is sooo much older than that even, these are just the most efficient controller types. They had a toy back in the early 2000s that could move a ball up and down by reading brainwaves as just one spectrum of strength.
@@suruxstrawde8322 yeah. But using it the play video games is just a waste. I know a doctor using it to record brain wave when his student experiencing pure inspiration or spontaneous healing.
This is extremely cool as you can increase the amount of inputs one can use simultaneously, Which means more complicated magic systems, fighting systems and just being able to do bunch of different things at the same time as well. Moving the character using the mind control, maybe attaching two mouses to the computer so you can control both the hands to grab and stuff
This has so much potential, from helping people with disabilities to the industry, I hope it'll go far and that she'll get all the merits she's entitled to Great video
I am an avid gamer, but I also have essential tremors which is gradually reducing my ability to manipulate the controls on a controller so I may not be able to game my regular way anymore after a certain level of advancement of the condition; I would love to get a 'head start' on this tech so I can be in good practice for much later when I may not have the patience to try something new then =)
If she makes the code open source, then maybe you could try to recreate her setup. I'm sure this stuff will become available for purchase by the public eventually, but that's probably far in the future. She did it alone, so why not give it a try yourself?
@@evanwilliams1199 This has already been done multiple times in the last 6+ years. Anyone can buy a EEG headset and set it up with a virtual controller, granted you can code it, which is not a complex task.

@@MrBa143yeah such a "non complex task" that she's been working on it for 10 months and it ain't perfect yet Time to give credit where credit is due, she seems to be a very adept coder
@@carolyne803 With all due respect, you're wrong, it's like any other input device. The main challenge isn't setting up the code, it's practicing consistency with your inputs and training your mind to be able to do tasks effectively with the inputs you've set up. OP could absolutely do it and so could anyone else here if they wanted to try it. You somehow took it as an insult, but actually he's saying it's possible for anyone to do, which is the ideal scenario. It's not an insult to say someone's project isn't complex, it's a nod to the state of libraries and resources making it more accessible to use advanced devices. Programming/engineering isn't supposed to be hard if it can be easy. What she deserves props for is the creativity of pushing a frontier that not many people have pushed before (using it as a gaming interface) without any real guarantee of whether it would work well enough to justify the effort. It's easy to copy her, but harder to be the first person in her shoes to be like "let's do this thing that nobody else has done before without any way of knowing whether it will be worth my time".
There is so much potential here, imagine when the commands are easier to program and can respond to a wider variety of visualisations so you can drink a potion just by thinking about drinking a potion (not pushing a block or etc), put an item into your hotbar just by thinking of that item, etc
This is absolute genius for it can possibly go with other uses besides video games! If it takes off and revolutionizes many great aspects for everyone then she needs a Nobel Peace Prize!
Nearly finished three years of study on accessibility in VR. Wonderful clip, incredibly excited to see the future of bci with VR and gaming!! This is excellent and better than anything I've seen
imagine how many people who are born without arms can now be able to play video games just using their mind. It would be a wholesome experience for them
No question - just wanted to say how amazing this was, and inspired I am with this whole venture. Well done and looking forward to everything in the future. This is one of the coolest pieces of technology I've seen in a very very long time and I am absolutely in awe.
OK so this is clickbait (and an outright lie actually)... she cannot play a full game with just her mind... did you notice that NO footage of her playing the game was recorded by BigStory? And no footage of the host playing a game either? That's because all her twitch footage is faked. Let's break this down: W, A, S, D, space, exit, ctrl, alt, i, mouse up+down+left+right+4diagonal, left+right click... that's AT LEAST 19 seperate controls that you have to associate a specific thought process with AND remember each on AND switch between them in a split second... and this is all impossible since you have to then sometimes think of TWO or THREE thoughts at the same time, like W+mouse up+left click, when you want to move and shoot simultaneously.
I wonder if she implements an eye tracker for turning if that would work. Lets say for the clip of Halo, if she used an eye tracker to turn her character or aim, and with the brain activity controlling moving + shooting if that would work/make it feel more fluid, as it's looks like she's using head tilts to change directions.
I was wondering the same thing! Id also be interested in the software and hardware could be reconfigured in different ways to capture an action depending on the person. Like would training it while playing normally assist in the speed of training? Like Simply moving forward while pressing the W key and moving the camera toward an object with the mouse look the same to the headset as just thinking about doing the same movement with assistance with an eye tracker?
@@JohnThomas-mb8si What do you mean? The headset is not aware of the game. The headset simply reads your brain activity. You imagine something, which in turn activates a part of you brain. You keep doing that over and over and then you label it ("jump"). You then configure that trigger to a key on a virtual controller, and then everytime you think of that one thing, it should semi reliably run the trigger, which in turn activates the key on the virtual controller.
She does have a eye tracker too, she was playing Trackmania which is a racing game with Wirtual yesterday, and that is how they controlled the lefts and the rights
There is no way she is controlling the Halo character using EEG data with that much precision. This is BS if you ask me. In Twitch stream, she is moving, jumping in Minecraft while talking about something totally different.
This will revolutionize the gaming industry along with VR, I hope she can capitalize on this and maybe in like 10 to 20 years we'll have these to be affordable enough. Man this is just like what I had in mind, being able to scroll your phone just by thinking about it. Cool stuff.
"Aphantasia isn't a defect, just a unique variation of the human experience" Aged like milk lol, hopefully someone learns to connect it to the motor cortex instead.
Having this be a widespread thing would be awesome for accessibility. It would also be interesting to see how games could use this type of tech for stuff other than as a controller. Imagine a horror game that could use this to read your mind!
I wonder how this effects people with aphantasia like me. I literally can't imagine any mental images, so I wonder how different controlling games with brain signals would be or how much the appearence of brain activity varried between person.
Man something like this in a magic based game could be amazing each spell being a different visualization maybe still use traditional controls for movement. Really combining this with traditional controls for a lot of things could be super interesting. I do wonder if you could build off of this tech with machine learning to make it more accurate for each user.
This is nearly unbelievable. If this wasn't coming from GBS, I would be a bit hesitant, like maybe this is a trick, but it's so crazy that this is a thing that's out there.
That's because this is fake. A pretty interesting gimmick to get views though. Here is why it's fake. No way would a headset like that give you enough resolution. Nor would you be able to put on a headset like that exactly the right spot every time.
The FPS footage is ridiculous. It looks just like regular controller gameplay. Which is what is happening. Either an editing trick to make an interesting story, or it’s her own scam. I dont doubt the triggering of a spell, or pushing a cube. But full on FPS gameplay is just not possible with this type of interface.
I’m so confused as to why they covered the actual screen of him pushing the block on the actual computer screen with a higher resolution animation thing of it at 4:38 then at 4:45 they have it on the screen but really zoomed in but then at 4:46 the entire screen is different from a distance. It’s weird editing. I just wish they showed it on the actual entire screen when it’s right beside them to make it more believable.
At first I thought oh that's kind of goofy but cool, but she proved that its not just a gimmick by beating margit, that's honestly a fairly tough fight even on controller or kbm. this would take vr to a new level, I'm genuinely mind blown
@@sickbastard151 well she did, she proved it’s a viable way to play games, if bigger companies pick this technology up refine it and make it more stream lined it could be used to bring vr to a new level of immersion, it could also open opportunities for people with als and other such disabilities to play games
I’m surprised this is just one person doing it and not a whole company. She’s doing some insane work. I can imagine this being accessible to so many people and could possibly be a new controller maybe 10 or 20 years ahead at this current pace.
I had an Emotive Epoc (looks like the same thing she's using here) and it was absolute garbage that covered your entire head and didn't function at all outside of ideal circumstances but it was a very cool idea so I'm glad to see it's progressed and the form factor is a bit more reasonable than it was back then.
@@BryanHaskin It's definitely not fake, there are plenty of videos of average people and respected streamers using it but it's limited in its functionality. For instance, in Elden Ring, she doesn't use it to actually navigate, just for attacking and dodging, though she doesn't use a controller for bosses, instead only using dodging and attacking which is controlled by the headset. You can also see Wirtual, a Trackmania streamer, using it in a recent stream but he only uses it for acceleration and uses head tracking for movement as as again, it's not sufficient not subtle analog stick motion. So you're right in the sense that it isn't sufficient on its own for most games but it is functional for certain controls.
Lucid dreaming feels like a similar experience: “thinking the same way every time for results”. For example, if you don’t want your dream to digress into a nightmare, then you can’t allow yourself to feel afraid. It’s kind of interesting. It’s like recognizing that we can control our mind (but still have the thoughts that recognize we’re controlling it). It’s almost paradoxical - but makes sense intuitively.
This is amazing. This is the future of gaming. Games we can control with our minds. Except we wouldn't be thinking of like "moving blocks" and such, but rather literally casting our "1st spell" and moving forward, moon walking, vaulting things, jumping ontop or over things, "equipping our second item", etc. And then after that, the future after that; games that we feel we are actually inside. And our vision is just the game.
There was a TED talk in the early 2000s where a woman demonstrated this on stage. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time with video games. Can't wait.
Amazing, this is the future! People will be using their imagination in new ways we didn't think possible before. Visualization in the minds will become something percieved more "useful". Simply fantastic stuff. I'd love to be part of it, if there's a way to participate.
Well done…… I think you've found me a good streamer to watch…… Besides dougdoug ofc, both are creators of their own genres…… and that makes their streams really unique.
the day where i can train to be a magician inside a virtual eviroment is getting closer, imagine being able to control "real" mana with your thoughts, visualization and focus skills being developed for real to chant real spells, c'mon tech people i need you to step up this stuff
I love this! As someone who ended becoming disabled a few years back with it affecting the use of my hands and my not always being able to play video games anymore like I used to, this would be a dream come true! I'd love to be able to just pick up a game and play it without having to consider how my hands are feeling that day or negotiate what other thing I'll have to give up that day to be able to play. With any luck, I'll continue to heal but, seriously, for accessibility, things like this are amazing. Thank you for setting out to make video games more accessible!
This sounds like EMG(which measures electric current generated by flexing muscle) not EEG. For example when there's a coma patient in a hospital and they are hooked up to an EEG to get brain wave readings, they don't ask the coma patient to move their heads rapidly to get readings. I mean unless just moving her head elicits some kind of mental response, this doesn't make much sense to me. I know brain games exist but, they are typically very different than this. The brain is analog, brain waves don't just turn on and off rapidly like button pushes they change overtime, and there are only 5 distinct brainwave frequencies you can see her controller measures for 4 of them so that mean 4 inputs, I thought the brain could only generate one frequency at a time, which would mean no corded inputs so, literally just 4 buttons, how do you play Elden Ring with 4 buttons? You would only be able to move and nothing else. Does anyone one who knows more than me know if this whole thing is a scam? It's just weird that the guy who was testing it was only able to cast a spell and do nothing else, which is more in line with how real brain games work.
It's real and it existed for years and years, nothing new here. It do not map the brain, but only take it's activity power and frequency. Basically, the more you concentrate, the more power will be mesured. You can add some variations by learning to concentrate in certain patterns. Party games like Mindflex or Mindball allow you to move a ball with you mind since 20years. *BUT* the video make it look like you can play Trackmania or a competitive FPS with it, where you cannot. It will be very hard (if not impossible) to control more that a couple of simple actions with that technology. So yes, it work (sometime) if you want to trigger shooting with your mind, but no way you can replace a full keyboard in a near futur.
@@lanceuppercut8220 It's not explain in the video but I quickly looked at her channel: In fact most movements are made by eye tracking and gyroscopes. That's why she move her head so much. She bind a maximum of 4actions to the EEG, and do everything else with eye-tracking and gyroscopes. To be clear, she is honest about it on her channel, that seem to mainly speak about her training methods and achievements. It's this video that is made to exagerate everything and lie, making you think it's a breaktrough
I see so many possibilities into this device woaw, starting with gaming obv, but also for a LOT of psychological research. It's fun to use, it doesn't hurt, and it helps your brain. This could be one of the most important device for our future ngl
As a young neuroscientist whose an avid gamer, this development is very exciting and has been on my mind since high-school some over 10 years ago. I'm acutely aware how difficult it is to create controls using noisy signal from something like the EEG. We'd be much better off with MEG or functional MRI, but the feasibility of such technologies instantly makes EEG basically the only option. EEG is, however like I said, EXTREMELY noisy and you cannot really move without creating huge artefacts in the signal. Just moving your eyes creates massive artefacts in the signal many times larger than any real brain activity, not to mention moving around or bumping into anything. Tapping your skull will create a huge spike in the signal too, so does just blinking your eyes. I could go on for ages about how difficult it is to find any meaningful information from an EEG signal, not to mention how absolutely abysmal the hardware they used here is (normally you can hardly do much with just few electrodes, usually you need many tens if not over a hundred for source localization), but I'll just bask in the definitely laborious work hundreds of engineers have went through to apply what we know about EEG neuroscientifically to make a somewhat feasible controller with a "shitty" EEG apparatus (yes, it looks cool but it is bad simply because of the small amount of electrodes, compared to caps used in neuroscience; no neuroscientist would use the cap shown in this video in their research). For now, however, I am 100% certain that no complex game could be played with this setup with consistent controls in a high-speed game environment (like competitive fighters or shooters). Sure, even complex games might work okay, but there will be so many false alarms and misses in the apparatus trying to interpret the signal that we've still much to do. Exciting, nonetheless!
Just as context to people this type of EEG head gear has been around for literally decades. It is nothing new. The only thing amazing about this is the amount of training this person had to go through to do anything with it. This is a prime example of "Gotcha" journalism that provides very little context in the title or really the content to spin a fantasy. EEG in reality is impractical for mass market use as a controller playing something as simple as tetris let alone VR. Please do your own research and never trust anyone who doesn't cite proper scholarly published articles/papers.
I see this working really well with in-game dialogue choices. Couple that with a Chat GPT like AI and you could just "think" of general response types, yes, no, sarcastic, sincere, urgent, agreeable, disagreeable, etc. and the AI could craft a proper situational dialogue response type based on your general "thought" choice, it could then use text to speech and have your character speak in-game. I could also see something like stat points playing a role in the way ChatGPT crafts your character's responses, high points in charisma or cool, your character responds with something witty and clever, high stats in strength with low intelligence, your character's speech is less eloquent and direct. Half the problem with using a voice interface in video games is that we are nowhere near as cool as the characters we are playing so having the ability to basically "think" say something smooth and witty, then have chat GPT do just that and hear our character speak it, is going to be mind-blowing.
I really hope this is explored more, a lot of people could benefit from this. Anyone who cannot operate a keyboard, controller, or mouse due to body limitations should be given a chance to use one of these someday. In fact, this could be used for more than just for video games. Imagine this being applied for a cybernetic arm or leg, and such. Or for robots to operate in unlivable conditioned areas. The potential of this is limitless, much like the human mind.
This is HUGE for stuff like accessibility omg I’ve tried something similar waaaaaay back during a school trip, but didn’t ever think it could work this way! This is awesome!
This may appear incredibly ignorant, but I have a hard time believing this. I understand that she practiced over 600 hours doing this and that the other guy was also able to do this, but this is getting too far into science fiction. I feel that a lot of the movements of the characters involves head and eye tracking. And EEG is far from being precisely accurate especially with games such as fps. We're very advanced in our technology don't get me wrong, but to get to this type of technology where you can use 100% of your mind to control video games, were looking at at least 100 years. I really hate to call these people liars, but I have to experience this for myself to believe this. I think there's something more to this going on.
I remember over a decade ago when patients were just moving a curser on a screen, and this is basically the start of the future I saw. Very exciting stuff that she has done. It’s not a far leap to small robotics being an application next.
This is honestly so damn cool! Imagine the people without limbs or the ability to not use them, they can now use this or something in the future that is more refined to play games!
Like many people: I tried to do this and just didn't have the dedication to get good enough that I could do anything more than sometimes have one command maybe register.

Sure. As long as Meta doesn’t control her.
I imagine there's quite a few major gaming companies that are going to be reaching out to her soon. Like imagine someone with als or another such disease who could finally play games again?

This is propaganda to promote the approval of general use for these types mind tech interfaces. They are making this to support the idea that there is positive value for general population use. Which is very limited and heavily negated by the overwhelming negative effects on mental health and society. Under capitalism this will not be used the way many of you are thinking….Think more the way Social Media, and Search Engines went, not some future utopia for us all. Sorry to say this is going to be used for control and manipulation.
At the moment there is only approval for special use in disabilities. And that’s how it needs to stay. General use will not be useful to anyone but the top.

That is the most powerful yet succinct way to phrase this that I have heard yet.
I'm always reminded of people criticizing folx who struggle to afford their basic bills but won't sell their Xbox. Not even a newest model or anything. Like an original Xbox or 360 or whatever older-gen gaming system. That's not exclusive to older systems, but it's the most unreasonable idea, as if a one-time $30 now will do more for them long term than having the one simple stress relief they already own. Or even for buying one nice thing for themselves, like any hobby. That doesn't even cover all the other ways people need more than just being not dead.
So, exactly as you put it.

This device is already available, from what I understood she applied programming knowledge to make it work in games.
For disability... I think not so much. You can research PC Eye 5. They basically produce two eye tracking devices - One (Tobii eye tracker 5) is build for gamers and works only in games. PC eye 5 is build around general Windows usage, and is made for disabled people.
So you can hope to get something similar that works in games (maybe for a limited camera control and such). Disabled people would need help with using the computer itself and here they would benefit the most.
I speak from my experience, I have a condition that manifest similarly to what you mentioned.
Getting the mental commands to work is seriously impressive. I've made music instruments using EEG mappings, but training my mind to produce specific waveforms I found super difficult.
This is fire. How did you did that?
How did you buy an eeg? Can you tell me a model? I really want to make "magic" even if it take me years to have the money and prepare all
Edit, i found the model, but you need more than the EEG to make work with games, so ill do something with that in some years maybe.

Like she said It's based on your brain activity not mind reading. Simply if you think "Turn left" the program doesn't know that cause it's not mind reading it's based on your brain activity. If mind-reading exist no one in court would be lying. She uses her imagination to increase or decrease her brain activity.

This tech is apparently really old, it's origin goes back to 1929. "The discovery of electroencephalography (EEG) in 1929 by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger was a historical breakthrough providing a new neurologic and psychiatric diagnostic tool at the time, especially considering the lack of all those now available in daily practice".

This NEEDS to be paired with VR games where immersion could facilitate more natural, easier thought commands.
Think it would be the opposite. It seems like this already takes training in high focus while maintaining very specific thought preferences.
I would say. Vr would make this hundreds of times harder to play because you get immersed, therefore reducing your ability to maintain focus and correctly trained thoughts.
I would surmise very few people would actually be good at it, even if it even gets that far. Likely a cult following like vr standards now. More than half of ppl who use vr already get sick in moderate use like an hour or so.

Great video
I am an avid gamer, but I also have essential tremors which is gradually reducing my ability to manipulate the controls on a controller so I may not be able to game my regular way anymore after a certain level of advancement of the condition; I would love to get a 'head start' on this tech so I can be in good practice for much later when I may not have the patience to try something new then =)

Time to give credit where credit is due, she seems to be a very adept coder
@@carolyne803 With all due respect, you're wrong, it's like any other input device. The main challenge isn't setting up the code, it's practicing consistency with your inputs and training your mind to be able to do tasks effectively with the inputs you've set up. OP could absolutely do it and so could anyone else here if they wanted to try it. You somehow took it as an insult, but actually he's saying it's possible for anyone to do, which is the ideal scenario. It's not an insult to say someone's project isn't complex, it's a nod to the state of libraries and resources making it more accessible to use advanced devices. Programming/engineering isn't supposed to be hard if it can be easy.
What she deserves props for is the creativity of pushing a frontier that not many people have pushed before (using it as a gaming interface) without any real guarantee of whether it would work well enough to justify the effort. It's easy to copy her, but harder to be the first person in her shoes to be like "let's do this thing that nobody else has done before without any way of knowing whether it will be worth my time".
She described how it works and how she got it to work in an easy to understand way. Amazing!
this must kind of feel like driving a car in your dreams
There is so much potential here, imagine when the commands are easier to program and can respond to a wider variety of visualisations so you can drink a potion just by thinking about drinking a potion (not pushing a block or etc), put an item into your hotbar just by thinking of that item, etc
Perri is so talented! Way to go!

No question - just wanted to say how amazing this was, and inspired I am with this whole venture.
Well done and looking forward to everything in the future. This is one of the coolest pieces of technology I've seen in a very very long time and I am absolutely in awe.
Is this a brain tumor speedrun any% or is it safe? If it's safe how can you be certain?
OK so this is clickbait (and an outright lie actually)... she cannot play a full game with just her mind... did you notice that NO footage of her playing the game was recorded by BigStory? And no footage of the host playing a game either? That's because all her twitch footage is faked.
Let's break this down:
W, A, S, D, space, exit, ctrl, alt, i, mouse up+down+left+right+4diagonal, left+right click... that's AT LEAST 19 seperate controls that you have to associate a specific thought process with AND remember each on AND switch between them in a split second... and this is all impossible since you have to then sometimes think of TWO or THREE thoughts at the same time, like W+mouse up+left click, when you want to move and shoot simultaneously.
I wonder if she implements an eye tracker for turning if that would work. Lets say for the clip of Halo, if she used an eye tracker to turn her character or aim, and with the brain activity controlling moving + shooting if that would work/make it feel more fluid, as it's looks like she's using head tilts to change directions.
I was wondering the same thing!
Id also be interested in the software and hardware could be reconfigured in different ways to capture an action depending on the person. Like would training it while playing normally assist in the speed of training? Like Simply moving forward while pressing the W key and moving the camera toward an object with the mouse look the same to the headset as just thinking about doing the same movement with assistance with an eye tracker?
@@JohnThomas-mb8si What do you mean? The headset is not aware of the game. The headset simply reads your brain activity. You imagine something, which in turn activates a part of you brain. You keep doing that over and over and then you label it ("jump"). You then configure that trigger to a key on a virtual controller, and then everytime you think of that one thing, it should semi reliably run the trigger, which in turn activates the key on the virtual controller.
She does have a eye tracker too, she was playing Trackmania which is a racing game with Wirtual yesterday, and that is how they controlled the lefts and the rights
@@shipfish-hu8bz thats awesome! ill have to check that out
There is no way she is controlling the Halo character using EEG data with that much precision. This is BS if you ask me. In Twitch stream, she is moving, jumping in Minecraft while talking about something totally different.

Time to learn science my friend
This will revolutionize the gaming industry along with VR, I hope she can capitalize on this and maybe in like 10 to 20 years we'll have these to be affordable enough. Man this is just like what I had in mind, being able to scroll your phone just by thinking about it. Cool stuff.
"Aphantasia isn't a defect, just a unique variation of the human experience"
Aged like milk lol, hopefully someone learns to connect it to the motor cortex instead.
Having this be a widespread thing would be awesome for accessibility. It would also be interesting to see how games could use this type of tech for stuff other than as a controller. Imagine a horror game that could use this to read your mind!
I wonder how this effects people with aphantasia like me. I literally can't imagine any mental images, so I wonder how different controlling games with brain signals would be or how much the appearence of brain activity varried between person.
I have it to , its easy to me to Image things outside of my head, this might even be easer or us
This is absolutely fantastic!! I can totally imagine this being super widespread in the future for acceptability in gaming
Man something like this in a magic based game could be amazing each spell being a different visualization maybe still use traditional controls for movement. Really combining this with traditional controls for a lot of things could be super interesting. I do wonder if you could build off of this tech with machine learning to make it more accurate for each user.
Amazing idea!
xD ideas are shit. Everybody has ideas. This is such a meme in programming world. "i have this amazing idea". Sorry to burst your bubble.
This is nearly unbelievable. If this wasn't coming from GBS, I would be a bit hesitant, like maybe this is a trick, but it's so crazy that this is a thing that's out there.
I’d like to see more testing on it. I’m not 100% convinced.
That's because this is fake. A pretty interesting gimmick to get views though. Here is why it's fake. No way would a headset like that give you enough resolution. Nor would you be able to put on a headset like that exactly the right spot every time.
The FPS footage is ridiculous. It looks just like regular controller gameplay. Which is what is happening. Either an editing trick to make an interesting story, or it’s her own scam. I dont doubt the triggering of a spell, or pushing a cube. But full on FPS gameplay is just not possible with this type of interface.
I’m so confused as to why they covered the actual screen of him pushing the block on the actual computer screen with a higher resolution animation thing of it at 4:38 then at 4:45 they have it on the screen but really zoomed in but then at 4:46 the entire screen is different from a distance. It’s weird editing. I just wish they showed it on the actual entire screen when it’s right beside them to make it more believable.
the skate analogy works so well
At first I thought oh that's kind of goofy but cool, but she proved that its not just a gimmick by beating margit, that's honestly a fairly tough fight even on controller or kbm. this would take vr to a new level, I'm genuinely mind blown
she proved nothing with this vid!
@@sickbastard151 well she did, she proved it’s a viable way to play games, if bigger companies pick this technology up refine it and make it more stream lined it could be used to bring vr to a new level of immersion, it could also open opportunities for people with als and other such disabilities to play games

That’s exactly what she is using.
It's fake. A device like that wouldn't have the resolution needed to control complex actions.
@@BryanHaskin It's definitely not fake, there are plenty of videos of average people and respected streamers using it but it's limited in its functionality. For instance, in Elden Ring, she doesn't use it to actually navigate, just for attacking and dodging, though she doesn't use a controller for bosses, instead only using dodging and attacking which is controlled by the headset.
You can also see Wirtual, a Trackmania streamer, using it in a recent stream but he only uses it for acceleration and uses head tracking for movement as as again, it's not sufficient not subtle analog stick motion. So you're right in the sense that it isn't sufficient on its own for most games but it is functional for certain controls.
Lucid dreaming feels like a similar experience: “thinking the same way every time for results”. For example, if you don’t want your dream to digress into a nightmare, then you can’t allow yourself to feel afraid. It’s kind of interesting.
It’s like recognizing that we can control our mind (but still have the thoughts that recognize we’re controlling it). It’s almost paradoxical - but makes sense intuitively.
I just going to say one thing... *¡LINK START!*
I saw her a while back doing this on track mania, I’m glad she’s getting big coverage now
now THAT is next level gaming
This is amazing. This is the future of gaming. Games we can control with our minds. Except we wouldn't be thinking of like "moving blocks" and such, but rather literally casting our "1st spell" and moving forward, moon walking, vaulting things, jumping ontop or over things, "equipping our second item", etc.
And then after that, the future after that; games that we feel we are actually inside. And our vision is just the game.
Protect this woman at all costs, she is a genius.

I'd love to be able to just pick up a game and play it without having to consider how my hands are feeling that day or negotiate what other thing I'll have to give up that day to be able to play. With any luck, I'll continue to heal but, seriously, for accessibility, things like this are amazing. Thank you for setting out to make video games more accessible!
This sounds like EMG(which measures electric current generated by flexing muscle) not EEG. For example when there's a coma patient in a hospital and they are hooked up to an EEG to get brain wave readings, they don't ask the coma patient to move their heads rapidly to get readings. I mean unless just moving her head elicits some kind of mental response, this doesn't make much sense to me. I know brain games exist but, they are typically very different than this. The brain is analog, brain waves don't just turn on and off rapidly like button pushes they change overtime, and there are only 5 distinct brainwave frequencies you can see her controller measures for 4 of them so that mean 4 inputs, I thought the brain could only generate one frequency at a time, which would mean no corded inputs so, literally just 4 buttons, how do you play Elden Ring with 4 buttons? You would only be able to move and nothing else. Does anyone one who knows more than me know if this whole thing is a scam? It's just weird that the guy who was testing it was only able to cast a spell and do nothing else, which is more in line with how real brain games work.
It’s mega fake
@@ericluedtke333 You think so too? What made you think it was fake?
It's real and it existed for years and years, nothing new here.
It do not map the brain, but only take it's activity power and frequency.
Basically, the more you concentrate, the more power will be mesured.
You can add some variations by learning to concentrate in certain patterns.
Party games like Mindflex or Mindball allow you to move a ball with you mind since 20years.
*BUT* the video make it look like you can play Trackmania or a competitive FPS with it, where you cannot.
It will be very hard (if not impossible) to control more that a couple of simple actions with that technology.
So yes, it work (sometime) if you want to trigger shooting with your mind, but no way you can replace a full keyboard in a near futur.
@@pierrotA I know, that's essentially what I was saying. I'm glad someone else verified it. There's no way you can play Elden Ring with just EEG.
@@lanceuppercut8220 It's not explain in the video but I quickly looked at her channel: In fact most movements are made by eye tracking and gyroscopes.
That's why she move her head so much.
She bind a maximum of 4actions to the EEG, and do everything else with eye-tracking and gyroscopes.
To be clear, she is honest about it on her channel, that seem to mainly speak about her training methods and achievements.
It's this video that is made to exagerate everything and lie, making you think it's a breaktrough
I see so many possibilities into this device woaw, starting with gaming obv, but also for a LOT of psychological research. It's fun to use, it doesn't hurt, and it helps your brain. This could be one of the most important device for our future ngl
PERRI IS GOAT! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As a young neuroscientist whose an avid gamer, this development is very exciting and has been on my mind since high-school some over 10 years ago. I'm acutely aware how difficult it is to create controls using noisy signal from something like the EEG. We'd be much better off with MEG or functional MRI, but the feasibility of such technologies instantly makes EEG basically the only option. EEG is, however like I said, EXTREMELY noisy and you cannot really move without creating huge artefacts in the signal. Just moving your eyes creates massive artefacts in the signal many times larger than any real brain activity, not to mention moving around or bumping into anything. Tapping your skull will create a huge spike in the signal too, so does just blinking your eyes.
I could go on for ages about how difficult it is to find any meaningful information from an EEG signal, not to mention how absolutely abysmal the hardware they used here is (normally you can hardly do much with just few electrodes, usually you need many tens if not over a hundred for source localization), but I'll just bask in the definitely laborious work hundreds of engineers have went through to apply what we know about EEG neuroscientifically to make a somewhat feasible controller with a "shitty" EEG apparatus (yes, it looks cool but it is bad simply because of the small amount of electrodes, compared to caps used in neuroscience; no neuroscientist would use the cap shown in this video in their research). For now, however, I am 100% certain that no complex game could be played with this setup with consistent controls in a high-speed game environment (like competitive fighters or shooters). Sure, even complex games might work okay, but there will be so many false alarms and misses in the apparatus trying to interpret the signal that we've still much to do.
Exciting, nonetheless!
Just as context to people this type of EEG head gear has been around for literally decades. It is nothing new. The only thing amazing about this is the amount of training this person had to go through to do anything with it. This is a prime example of "Gotcha" journalism that provides very little context in the title or really the content to spin a fantasy. EEG in reality is impractical for mass market use as a controller playing something as simple as tetris let alone VR. Please do your own research and never trust anyone who doesn't cite proper scholarly published articles/papers.
I see this working really well with in-game dialogue choices. Couple that with a Chat GPT like AI and you could just "think" of general response types, yes, no, sarcastic, sincere, urgent, agreeable, disagreeable, etc. and the AI could craft a proper situational dialogue response type based on your general "thought" choice, it could then use text to speech and have your character speak in-game. I could also see something like stat points playing a role in the way ChatGPT crafts your character's responses, high points in charisma or cool, your character responds with something witty and clever, high stats in strength with low intelligence, your character's speech is less eloquent and direct. Half the problem with using a voice interface in video games is that we are nowhere near as cool as the characters we are playing so having the ability to basically "think" say something smooth and witty, then have chat GPT do just that and hear our character speak it, is going to be mind-blowing.
I used my mind and my hands to compose this comment
I really hope this is explored more, a lot of people could benefit from this. Anyone who cannot operate a keyboard, controller, or mouse due to body limitations should be given a chance to use one of these someday. In fact, this could be used for more than just for video games. Imagine this being applied for a cybernetic arm or leg, and such. Or for robots to operate in unlivable conditioned areas. The potential of this is limitless, much like the human mind.
This is HUGE for stuff like accessibility omg I’ve tried something similar waaaaaay back during a school trip, but didn’t ever think it could work this way! This is awesome!
This may appear incredibly ignorant, but I have a hard time believing this. I understand that she practiced over 600 hours doing this and that the other guy was also able to do this, but this is getting too far into science fiction. I feel that a lot of the movements of the characters involves head and eye tracking. And EEG is far from being precisely accurate especially with games such as fps. We're very advanced in our technology don't get me wrong, but to get to this type of technology where you can use 100% of your mind to control video games, were looking at at least 100 years. I really hate to call these people liars, but I have to experience this for myself to believe this. I think there's something more to this going on.
I remember over a decade ago when patients were just moving a curser on a screen, and this is basically the start of the future I saw. Very exciting stuff that she has done. It’s not a far leap to small robotics being an application next.
This isn't that different actually, it's just more like moving several pointers at once.
Really elaborate lie so you don’t have to actually play video games while you stream.
This is honestly so damn cool! Imagine the people without limbs or the ability to not use them, they can now use this or something in the future that is more refined to play games!
i don t buy any of this bull
this plus vr in a horror game would be mad. not even the controlling, but reading the brain signals.
Like many people: I tried to do this and just didn't have the dedication to get good enough that I could do anything more than sometimes have one command maybe register.
I saw Perri in Wirtal's stream, nice work she has done.
