A competitive brain computer interface: Multi-person car racing system

Brain computer interface (BCI) technique is successfully utilized to bridge the interruption between brain and peripheral nerves and muscles, and to establish a new pathway making brain directly output information (or command). Up to now, a majority of BCI systems are developed to restore communication ability or movement functionality for people with severe disabilities, especially for paralyzed patients. To our best knowledge, other researchers haven´t developed a multi-person BCI with competitive mode. Therefore, in this paper, we introduced a multi-person car racing system, which allows more than one person to play game at the same time and they can compete with each other for the aim of first reaching destination. The reason of development of car racing system has two aspects. At one hand, we introduced BCI to entertainment industry and provided a prototype for entertainment. At the other hand, we proposed a competitive mode for BCI. According to practical evaluation, the results demonstrated that our proposed system achieved a good performance.
