I’m currently at my home in North London, experimenting with electrodes attached to my temporal lobe to learn how to play video games using my mind.
Let me elaborate. In July, a Twitch streamer in her 20s, Perry Kariyal, made waves by claiming to defeat two bosses in Elden Ring solely with her thoughts. Skeptics were quick to dismiss her on social media, but I decided to seek the opinion of my old friend Derren Brown. His insights made me question the authenticity of Kariyal’s claims.
Despite my initial doubts, I discovered that technology does exist to interpret brain signals. Kariyal utilizes hardware to read brain activity and does not possess telekinetic powers. Intrigued, I reached out to her for a demonstration, and she agreed.
Kariyal shared insights about her use of EEGs and Emotiv headsets to measure brain activity, shedding light on her experiments with gaming and psychology. Her innovative approach intrigued me further.
