A general framework for innovative mobile biofeedback based educational games

Educational games on mobile devices are getting more and more popular due to the widespread usage of tablets among children. The effectiveness of autonomous learning can be increased with the use of properly processed biofeedback signals. The aim of our research is to create skill-developing and educational games with a framework based on estimating cognitive state and neurological feedback, which is general enough to be extended with different biofeedback sensor devices. The goal is to improve the learning efficiency by adapting to the users learning capabilities. Using the heart rate monitor and the EEG device we can examine the emotional and cognitive states of the user, modify the difficulty level and the attributes of the reward to fit the user´s needs, helping to get the best results.
