The road from beginner to expert when controlling an ultra-fast brain computer interface depends on individual motivation.
Mathias Kruse from Leipzig, living with advanced paralysis due to ALS, has traveled this road in no time! From frustration to immense joy. From experimentation of various strategies, to ultra-fast control, winning medals in a very demanding, fast game.
We need to keep developing and improving such technologies. They can change lives!

We've had the privilege of sharing two incredible stories of ALS warriors who refuse to stop playing. 🎮💪
Now, we're bringing the fight to London.
Our team will be there on April 23–24th, and we'd love to meet you, connect, and continue spreading awareness together.

A very nice movie from @mathias.kruse , showcasing the test of the intelimensa BCI helmet last week.
Mathias is a wonderful person, extremely motivated and warm!
He won silver medals in the game, a very difficult feat, even for people with normal hand control. #als #alsawarness #fightals
🚀 Restoring control in paralyzed patients with Brain-Computer Interfaces
What happens when advanced neuroscience meets real human resilience?
This mini-documentary follows four scientists—three of them co-founders of Intelimensa—working alongside Nicolas Beretti, President of Institut Charcot in Paris. Nicolas is a leader, a husband, and a father living with advanced ALS. As the disease progressed, he lost the ability to move and speak, relying on eye-tracking technology to stay connected to the world.
On February 11, a major breakthrough took place.
For the first time since his condition advanced, Nicolas was able to move beyond eye-tracking and use his own neural signals to control a fast-paced, real-time game. A moment that highlights how far brain-computer interfaces have come—and where they are heading.
đź§ This milestone represents the first field test of Intelimensa's BCI technology, built on more than 10 years of research at the Transylvanian Institute of Neuroscience (TINS).
Key aspects of this approach:
- Fully non-invasive
- High-speed, real-time interaction
- Designed with real-world usability in mind
The broader vision is clear: expanding autonomy, improving communication, and enabling more direct interaction with technology for people living with severe paralysis. We are witnessing the early stages of a shift in how humans can interface with machines!
Enjoy!
