After beating Elden Ring Nightreign's bosses with 'mind control,' Twitch streamer PerriKaryal may turn her big brain to Nintendo next

The streamer PerriKaryal is seen concentrating via a picture-in-picture stream. She's playing Elden Ring: Nightreign via a hands-free EEG control scheme. Her hands are seen, clasped under her chin, in a contemplative gesture as she stares intently at the game screen.

PerriKaryal is a tech creator on Twitch with a Master's degree in psychology, and she ain't afraid to use it. Her latest headlining project is a largely hands-free control scheme using an EEG. The brain cap detects distinct peaks of brain activity, which the streamer's brain-computer-interface coding then interprets as gamepad inputs. So, yes, of course, she's used it to beat multiple Elden Ring bosses in 'mind control' challenge runs.

I recently chatted to the Twitch streamer about taking on Elden Ring Nightreign with her big brain, but what I neglected to mention in my earlier feature was that this demo was a PlayStation 5 exclusive. This presented its own obstacle to navigate, as PerriKaryal's control setup is largely locked to PC.
