The Design of Multi-User BCI Game System

Abstract

The purpose of the study is using the Brain Computer Interface (BCI) device as game equipment to develop a multi-user BCI game system (MBCIGS). The MBCIGS includes a multi-user management system and three playing modes of BCI games which are a single user exercise mode, a multi-user practice mode, and a multi-user gaming mode. The multi-user management system is to handle the connection and the message transmission between players, while the three modes of BCI games are to offer the players using BCI devices from the status of practicing to competition. The MBCIGS uses a MindSet as BCI device, an Electro Server as the multi-user platform, and Flash software as client game developing system. Several suggestions are presented in the study.
