Abstract

In recent years, studies in BCI game with popular BCI devices are progressing actively by the development of BCI(Brain Computer Interface) techniques. Most of BCI games have developed as experimental contents for researching. On the game control paradigm, it is insufficient to conduct a study about induced methods of proper barinwave to control the BCI game. In this study, we suggest a rhythm game using BCI which has a new play element that visualizes the rhythm of music and represents the notes of music in sound and a generation method of visual-auditory feedback through the synchronization of the tempo of music with brainwave. Experimental Results make certain that our suggestion is possible for the improvement of game score through the induction of brainwave that is necessary to control the game.

최근 BCI(Brain Computer Interface) 기술의 발전과 함께 보급형 BCI 장치를 활용한 게임연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. BCI 게임은 대부분 연구를 위한 실험적인 체험용 콘텐츠 형태로 개발되어 왔으며, 명령 패러다임에 있어서 BCI 게임 명령에 적합한 뇌파를 유도하는 방법에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 음악의 리듬을 시청각적으로 표현하는 새로운 플레이 요소를 제공하는 BCI 리듬게임과 음악의 템포와 뇌파를 동기화 시켜 다양한 형태의 시청각 피드백을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 실험을 통해 게임조작에 필요로 하는 뇌파를 유도하여 게임점수를 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
