HyperX and Neurable Unveil Brain-Tracking Gaming Headset Prototype at CES

Early demos show modest, variable gains, with pricing and availability unannounced.

Overview

  • The concept integrates EEG sensors into the earcups and uses AI to interpret brain signals, surfacing real-time data on focus, cognitive load, and stress.
  • Neurable’s PRIME neurofeedback primes attention by visualizing focus with a cloud of dots that collapses as users reach a more optimal mental state before play.
  • Company-cited studies and CES trials reported reaction-time improvements of about 38–43 milliseconds, accuracy gains up to roughly 3%, and more targets hit in FPS training.
  • Hands-on reports described mixed results across testers, with some improving after priming and others seeing little change or slight declines.
  • A streamer overlay to display focus metrics on broadcasts is in development, while final model specifics, pricing, and general availability have not been disclosed.
