Abstract

Multi-disciplinary study of human computer interaction has provided significant impact in the fields of neural engineering, cognitive neuroscience, rehabilitation and brain-computer interaction. This paper evaluates the impact of neurofeedback in the context of a simple computer game controlled by attention based brain signals. The designed game protocol requires the player to memorize a set of numbers displayed in a matrix format, and to correctly fill the matrix using his attention based brain patterns. Attention level of the player, quantified using sample entropy values of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, is the core control parameter of the game. A comparative study using a single neurofeedback group and 2 control groups (each group consists of 8 subjects) has been carried out to examine the impact of neurofeedback on enhancing attention score and cognitive skill in the context of the attention-driven game. Experimental results explicitly demonstrate the significance and usefulness of neurofeedback in EEG based games.
