Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year
Unlike his other products, it’s not powered by Steam.
It began over a decade ago with in-house psychologists studying people’s biological responses to video games; Valve once considered earlobe monitors for its first VR headset. But the goal, writes Starfish, is a smaller and less invasive implant than the competition, one that can “enable simultaneous access to multiple brain regions” instead of just one site, and one that doesn’t require a battery.
