What does NASA have to do with video games and EEG Neurofeedback?
NASA scientists measured and trained pilot’s attention and engagement to task in flight simulators. One of the scientists, Dr. Alan Pope, recognized that a flight simulator was very similar to a video game. Dr. Pope then came upon the exciting concept of using regular video games controlled by the player’s brain activity and reasoned that this may be helpful to improve attention just like it helped the pilot’s engagement to the flight deck.
