BCI based games and Psychiatric disorders

Abstract

As modern computers technology developed to understand human brain signals, it’s great to use a computer system as an output of brain signals. This developed technology is brain-computer interface (BCI).A brain-computer interface, sometimes called a brain-machine interface or a direct neural interface, is a hardware and software communications system that allows disabled people a direct communication pathway between a brain and an external device system rather than the normal output through muscles. After experimentation, three types of BCI have been developed which are Invasive BCIs, semi-invasive BCIs, and Non-invasive BCIs that differ in their implementation place of the brain. BCI is used in different applications such as gaming applications that provide these disabled people with entertainment depending on their brain signals as well as its use in the medical field and the bioengineering one. In addition, its usage as neurofeedback therapy contributing to the treatment of psychiatric conditions such as ADHD and anxiety
