Is Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor coming out of stealth?

The Valve boss has quietly been building brain-computer interface startup Starfish Neuroscience for years — state records show it was incorporated August 2019, long before Gaben talked up those BCI use cases for gaming.

Now, the company’s website has been updated to show who Starfish is and what it’s building: “Minimally invasive wireless sensors & actuators.” Gaben’s lost some weight, and Valve VR hardware engineer Alan Yates is there! Conspicuously missing: Neuralink co-founder Philip Sabes, who apparently dipped in 2022.
