Controlling Game With Mind Alone

Can you play games with your mind alone?

• It does sound like a Sci-Fi movie! 

•  A Boston-based startup, Neurable, intends to make this a reality. 

•  They’re developing a brain–computer interface that is accurate and fast enough to play games in virtual reality (VR).

How does it work? 

•  Neurable decodes brain activity to determine what a person wants to do.

•  It uses dry electrodes to record brain activity using Electroencephalography (EEG). 

•  The device is supposed to be worn with an HTC VIVE VR headset. 

•  The headset is wireless and sends the recorded data to the computer using Bluetooth. 

•  Based on the recorded data, the software decides what action has to be taken in the game.

• High Accuracy The previous version of the device was approximately 85% accurate in real-time. 

•  However, it was 99% accurate with a one-second delay. 

•  And the team says the current version will improve it further. 

•  Looks like the day isn’t far when we’ll play games hands-free and control them with our minds.
