Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record the electrical activity of the brain in a not invasive manner, with low cost hardware, using wireless communication and with high temporal resolution. Serious Games (SG) have demonstrated their effectiveness as a therapeutic resource to deal with motor, sensory and cognitive disabilities. We have considered the combination of both techniques for attention assessment in children with cerebral palsy (CP). In this short paper we present a new approach for the development of a SG based on a Brain Computer Interface (BCI).
