Ahstract-This paper presents a brain-computer interface game that controls a spacecraft that has to avoid obstacles in a space route. The neural mechanism is based on steady state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP) combined with phase tagging. Two flickering stimuli are used to move the spacecraft to left or right. The stimuli are tagged with a phase offset of 1800 between them. Phase extraction is applied to narrowband frequency of SSVEP. The stimuli frequencies were selected in a 3-5 Hz range that provides a high level of comfort. The game is being developed to be tested as a neurotherapy tool for children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, showing attention deficits. Since usability is a major issue in clinical use, the game was designed to be controlled with a single electroencephalographic (EEG) channel, and requiring a calibration time less than two minutes.Pilot experiments were performed with a group of five healthy adults that tested the game, achieving performances above 95% accuracy for 5 second trials.

“…Other researchers are working to completely exclude the physical interaction with a controller. To remove the physical interaction, it is possible to adopt Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) [20] or electromyography (EMG) [17,32] technologies. Application of these approaches can also be found in commercial products such as the Epoc+ (2013) from Emotiv and the Myo armband (2015) from Thalmic Labs.…”

Video games, as an entertaining media, dates back to the '50s and their hardware device underwent a long evolution starting from handmade devices such as the "cathode-ray tube amusement device" up to the modern mass-produced consoles. This evolution has, of course, been accompanied by increasingly specialized interaction mechanisms. As of today, interaction with games is usually performed through industry-standard devices. These devices can be either general purpose (e.g., mouse and keyboard) or specific for gaming (e.g., a gamepad). Unfortunately, for marketing reasons, gaming interaction devices are not usually designed taking into consideration the requirements of gamers with physical disabilities. In this paper, we will offer a review of the evolution of gaming control devices with a specific attention to their use by players with physical disabilities in the upper limbs. After discussing the functionalities introduced by controllers designed for disabled players we will also propose an innovative game controller device. The proposed game controller is built around a touch screen interface which can be configured based on the user needs and will be accessible by gamers which are missing fingers or are lacking control in hands movement.

“…Was developed for training those suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [17]. Researchers are now focusing on the design and implementation of tennis computer games' avatars requiring the user to supplement only brain activity signals as means of action control commands [18]. This implementation will assist people with movement disabilities in controlling a realistic tennis computer game, otherwise an almost impossible task.…”

In this paper, an investigation and its results towards brain activity pattern recognition while playing computer games using a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device is presented. The main aim of the study was to analyse data recorded while participants were engaged in playing popular computer games. The major contribution of the analysis presented is the confirmation of the hypothesis that there is a connection between activities in the brain and the different categories of computer games. Three different popular computer games were used, and the recordings took place under the conditions imposed by two different environments, a noisy one (a typical open-access university computer lab) and a quiet one (a typical controlled-access university computer lab under controlled environmental parameters). Initial results, obtained after analysing the raw electroencephalography (EEG) recorded data, suggest that there might be a significant connection between the type of activity taking place in the human brain and the type of computer game a player is engaging with.
