Mental War: An Attention-Based Single/Multiplayer Brain-Computer Interface Game

摘要: Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are a novel kind of user interface that allows the recognition specific intentions by reading user’s brain activity, translating it into commands and transmitting them to computer. With increasing advances in technology behind these interfaces, gaming applications using cerebral input becoming more common, although employment this control for games is still relatively low comparison other traditional modalities. This paper presents Mental War, brain-controlled multiplayer computer game, which two or players able compete against each other, work together collaborative mode achieve common goal, both only their mental state alone. Their level concentration measured single-sensor BCI headset translated force pull rope tug-of-war game. The design implementation process game detailed discussed. An evaluation was performed with total 24 participants acquire qualitative data regarding interaction platform, validating providing insights developers future BCI-based research.
