Chinese brain computer interface user reportedly plays 'Black Myth: Wukong,' other games

A research subject has been enjoying complex PC games such as Black Myth: Wukong and Honor of Kings using a “breakthrough” brain-computer interface (BCI) called the Beinao-1. According to a report from ITHome (per machine translation). The responsiveness of the China-developed BCI is claimed to be “approaching the level of normal people using traditional mice.”

The report claims that training can take place about 3x faster than seen with the original Neuralink patient. We haven't been able to unearth the Chinese research to add weight to these boasts, however.

ITHome says that the subject in the Beinao-1 BCI implant trial was a 19-year-old receiving treatment for right frontal lobe epilepsy. Brain Tiger Technology, the Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute (TCCI), and the Shanghai Institute of Microsystems collaborated on this BCI project.
