Emotion Assessment From Physiological Signals for Adaptation of Game Difficulty
@article{Chanel2011EmotionAF, title={Emotion Assessment From Physiological Signals for Adaptation of Game Difficulty}, author={Guillaume Chanel and Cyril Rebetez and Mireille B{\'e}trancourt and Thierry Pun}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans}, year={2011}, volume={41}, pages={1052-1063} }
This paper proposes to maintain player's engagement by adapting game difficulty according to player's emotions assessed from physiological signals. The validity of this approach was first tested by analyzing the questionnaire responses, electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, and peripheral signals of the players playing a Tetris game at three difficulty levels. This analysis confirms that the different difficulty levels correspond to distinguishable emotions, and that, playing several times at the…

Evaluation of Attention Levels in a Tetris Game Using a Brain Computer Interface
- EducationUMAP
- 2013
In this experiment, attention levels of Tetris players – measured with the BCI – have been evaluated as a function of game difficulty, and processing of the data revealed that both in intra- and inter- player analysis, an increase in game difficulty was followed by a increase in attention.
EEG in game user analysis: A framework for expertise classification during gameplay
- Computer SciencebioRxiv
- 2021
A framework for classifying the video game player’s expertise level using wearable electroencephalography (EEG) headset is presented and it is hypothesized that expert/novice players’ brain activity is different, which can be classified using the frequency domain features extracted from EEG signals of the game player.
