BrainGain: BCI for HCI and Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this position paper we describe part of the Dutch BrainGain research project on Brain Computer Interfacing (BCI) and our planned research in this project. We focus on BCI research for healthy users. In the BrainGain project our task is to look at Human Factors aspects of BCI applications, to look at multimodal interactions that include BCI interactions, and to design games, game environments and game interfaces that allow BCI interactions. Recently we see game companies taking an interest in BCI, among others leading to some games where movements of the ‘healthy’ user help to intensify brain patterns that control a virtual environment. One line of research we hope to exploit is the use of BCI in exertion interfaces.

Players' Opinions on Control and Playability of a BCI Game
Brain-computer interface (BCI) games can satisfy our need for competence by providing us with challenges that we should enjoy tackling. However, many BCI games that claim to provide enjoyable challenges fail to do so. Some common fallacies and pitfalls about BCI games play a role in this failure and in this paper we report on a study that we carried out to empirically investigate them. More spe...
متن کاملTowards multiplayer BCI games
Traditional brain-computer interface (BCI) research has forked to consider not only disabled patients but able-bodied users as well. Among various biosignals, electroencephalogram (EEG) is a cheap, portable and popular means of accessing brain activity. As a result, EEG-based BCIs are gradually being used in everyday applications, including games. Just as any computer product, human-computer in...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) Speller System Based on SSVEP Signals
BCI is one of the most intriguing technologies among other HCI systems, mostly because of its capability of recording brain activities. Spelling BCIs, which help paralyzed people to maintain communication, are one of the striking topics in the field of BCI. In this scientific a spelling BCI system with high transfer rate and accuracy that uses SSVEP signals is proposed.In addition, we suggested...
متن کاملMulti-Brain Games: Cooperation and Competition
We survey research on multi-user brain-computer interfacing applications and look in particular at ‘multi-brain games’. That is, games where in one or other form the (EEG-) measured brain activity of more than one user is needed to play the game. Various ways of integrating and merging brain activity in a game context are investigated. Existing research games are mentioned, but the emphasis is ...
متن کاملBrain-Computer Interfacing and Games
Recently research into Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) applications for healthy users, such as games, has been initiated. But why would a healthy person use a still-unproven technology such as BCI for game interaction? BCI provides a combination of information and features that no other input modality can offer. But for general acceptance of this technology, usability and user experience will ...
