Not long ago, game anchor Perrikaryal showed viewers a surreal magic: using brainwaves to control the characters of the game and playing the "Alden Ring."

Perrikaryal is a game anchor on Twitch and a master of psychology. The content she usually broadcasts is not limited to games, but occasionally she talks to the audience about psychology. At first, she wore a brainwave monitoring device to sit in front of the computer, just to observe her brain activity during the game, and then came up with the idea of using brainwaves to control the characters in the game.

Perrikaryal quickly put the idea into practice. She chose "Elden Ring" as the experimental game, first using brainwave monitoring equipment to record her brain's activity when processing game commands, and then binding certain types of brain activity to the game keys, so that she can manipulate the character through thinking.

In view of the difficulty of "Elden Ring" itself, at first many viewers were not optimistic about Perrikaryal, thinking that she would give up the game if she could not beat a BOSS. In fact, Perrikaryal does encounter a lot of difficulties on the way to brainwave playing games.

The EEG collector she uses during the game is a "Emotiv Epoic+" developed by the American company Neurotech, which uses a wet electrode and must be connected to the user's head in a humid environment. As a result, she needs to adjust the equipment repeatedly during the game and constantly wet the scalp with normal saline to improve electrical conductivity.

Although great efforts have been made to ensure the acquisition accuracy of the equipment, the sensor is still vulnerable to interference. Every subtle body movement of Perrikaryal can disrupt biological currents, causing EEG collectors to miss signals in the process of capturing brain signals. Therefore, she needs not only mental concentration, but also physical stability for a long time during the game.

"there is often a delay between when I want to launch an attack and when it actually happens." "however, it's not all about the equipment, and what we know about our brains is limited," she said on the live broadcast. Concentration and intensive training can lead to faster responses. "

After a week of running-in and training, Perrikaryal finally beat Greg in the live broadcast. Many viewers came to Perrikaryal's studio to watch her magic when they heard the news, and the bullet screen changed from not optimistic at first to a lot of congratulations and encouragement.

However, although the "magic" displayed by Perrikaryal excited the onlookers, the program still has many shortcomings. For ordinary players, it is even more impossible to copy her operation. Perrikaryal admits that so far it is not possible to fully control the "Alden Ring" through brainwaves. She has only trained a few simple commands in the game to avoid damage, attack enemies, cast spells, and so on. But more complex operations such as walking around and tidying up backpacks still need handles to help.

Perrikaryal has set himself the goal of using brainwaves to take complete control of the game, but it will take a long time to work hard.
