Game control via EEG helmets

Abstract

The paper deals with the creation of a computer game that is controlled via electroencephalography (EEG) and a brain-computer interface (BCI). This technology is relatively young, with several shortcomings that could be eliminated in the coming years, but we can already use this technology in some cases and replace the classic computer mouse control. The game “Ball and Mind” was created in Unity Engine and the main goal for the player is to get a ball from the start to the finish via BCI commands, and collect the highest possible score. The game has three levels with gradually increasing difficulty.
