Non-invasive BCI player beats keyboard gamers at Elden Ring, per Bilibili science gala

At Bilibili's 2026 Super Science Gala, top UP-host Fangstaf revealed a non-invasive brain-computer interface player beat him at Elden Ring while he used a keyboard.
Stepmed founder Zhao Zhengtuo shared patient cases: one runs an online shop via BCI, another commands a robot dog to fetch deliveries by thought, and a World of Warcraft veteran has played for weeks straight through an implanted BCI. ALS patient Cai Lei said 2027 could be the breakthrough year for scaled clinical BCI adoption, warning of a costly 'valley of death' between lab results and stable implants.
The event also staged a 500-person collective BCI experiment (brain activity over 73%) and showcased fusion, synthetic platelets, and robot fish. The industry's core trade-off—craniotomy implants offering better signal vs. less invasive vascular delivery—remains unresolved.
