Abstract :
This paper presents a non-invasive Brain Computer Interface (BCI) game that is inspired on the Tetris game. The BCI-Tetris is presented in three different versions. Two versions based on the P300 event related potential (ERP), and one version that combines the P300 ERP with the control of sensorimotor rhythms. The BCI-Tetris is being developed to be tested in pilot experiments with children with attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The results reported in this study with able-bodied participants show that the BCI-Tetris can be effectively controlled.
