Virtual Gaming

摘要

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a progressing area that has been adding this whole new dimension of capability to HCI. BCI has created a unique communication channel, mainly for the ones who're suffering from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The ADHD patient finds it difficult to pay attention and control their impulsive behaviors. As a result, they become restless, being overactive and act without thinking. Traditional treatments like medication or pharmacotherapy by psycostimulants have been proved inadequate to decrease hyperactivity level. In consideration of these issues, we proposed a solution called Virtual Gaming. Proposed solution comprises of a video game named “Mind Race” and the EEG (electroencephalogram) headset, which safely measures brainwave signals and monitors the concentration and attention levels of users as they interact with the system in order to play the game. The proposed solution aims to provide entertainment-therapy to the patients of ADHD to increase their attention, focus and concentration.
