Development of a mind-controlled Android racing game using a brain computer interface (BCI)

Brain computer interface (BCI) is to provide a direct communication or control channel between human´s brain and external devices. Recently, with the development of BCI, several research institutions and organizations have developed some games that are interacted with BCI to enrich user´s experience. However, most of these games are only used in computers and just focus on the realization of direction strategies. To meet the potential increasing Android smartphone users´ needs and explore interacting game processes with people´s mental states, this paper designs an Android 3D racing game controlled by mental states like attention and meditation. In this application, with the feedbacks of a Bluetooth BCI called Mindset, the racing car´s speed and part of game scenarios can be in the charge of user´s mental states.
