Since the Fall of 2020, the project has moved into a phase of developing the skills and methods to be able to visualize and analyze the EEG data taken while playing the video games. To do this, I am comparing two small data sets, taken before and after exercise. The end goal of this phase is to be able to visualize and mathematically analyze the EEG data in MATLAB.
About the Project
The goal of this project is to see if video-games from different genres cause brainwaves of different frequencies to be triggered. To do this, we will be comparing Apex Legends, a first-person-shooter game, with Magic: the Gathering Arena, a card game. While the games are being played, an EEG will be recorded of the subject’s brainwaves so that we can see if there is a difference in frequencies.
