Neurofeedback Ball Game Using Neurosky Mindwave Based on Attention Level

Abstract

EEG is widely used for brain imaging due to its affordability and simplicity. NeuroSky's single-channel sensor is favored by researchers for its non-invasive nature, capturing brainwaves at a single head location to acquire EEG signal data.This paper presents an EEG-driven gaming interface in which the subject's attention is utilized to effectively control the game. This game employs a ball that moves from the starting line towards the finish line according to the player's level of attention. The game is played by two players, one of whom is a mini-computer utilizing a Raspberry Pi. The design of this ball game using EEG is more portable and offers a genuinely interactive experience without utilizing a game display on a monitor screen. The results of this study indicate that the developed system can demonstrate changes in player attention, resulting in corresponding movements in the ball's displacement as per the design. Future steps involve assessing the game's usability for enhancing focus abilities.
