    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are increasingly used in gaming, yet research predominantly focuses on software-based applications.
    • Hardware-based BCI games present unique challenges, including stimulus visibility and user positioning.
    • Steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) offer a promising modality for BCI control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel multiplayer BCI game using a physical checkerboard with SSVEPs.
    • To investigate the impact of various physical and visual factors on SSVEP classification accuracy in a hardware-based BCI gaming context.

    Main Methods:

    • A hardware-based checkers game platform was created, utilizing flickering LEDs on a checkerboard to elicit SSVEPs.
    • A robot arm was integrated to move pieces based on classified SSVEP responses.
    • Pilot experiments were conducted with two subjects to assess classification accuracy under varying conditions (stimulus distance, angle, occlusion, competing stimuli).

    Main Results:

    • The study successfully implemented a hardware-based SSVEP BCI for a multiplayer checkers game.
    • Initial experiments identified key factors influencing SSVEP classification accuracy in the physical gaming environment.
    • The research provides insights into optimizing hardware-based BCI game design for real-world usability.

    Conclusions:

    • A functional hardware-based SSVEP BCI game platform was demonstrated.
    • Understanding environmental factors is crucial for enhancing the performance of physical BCI games.
    • This work contributes to the advancement of tangible BCI applications beyond screen-based interfaces.
