Playing Games With Your Mind Using Arduino Uno R4
Use BioAmp EXG Pill and Brain BioAmp Band with Arduino Uno R4 to play games using brainwave-based focus detection and eye blink control for a hands-free gaming experience.
Firmware:Arduino
Use Cases:Education
Overview
This tutorial shows how to play video games using only your brain signals. The BioAmp EXG Pill captures EEG from your forehead via the Brain BioAmp Band, and the Arduino Uno R4 processes the signals in real-time to detect focus and eye blinks for game control.
Hardware Required
- BioAmp EXG Pill
- Brain BioAmp Band (or gel electrodes)
- BioAmp Cable v3
- Arduino Uno R4 Minima
- Jumper cables
- Nuprep Skin Preparation Gel
How It Works
The system analyzes beta wave bandpower to detect concentration levels and uses EOG artifacts to detect eye blinks. These two inputs are mapped to game controls, enabling hands-free gameplay.
What You'll Learn
- EEG-based game control with Arduino Uno R4
- Real-time brainwave analysis using FFT
- Combining focus detection and blink detection for multi-input BCI
