Relationship Between Video Game Events and Player Emotion Based on EEG
Real time immersive virtual dynamic environments in video game are gaining ground recently. A task is correctly detecting user emotions during video gaming. However, there is a lack of study on emotion changes triggered by events in video games and whether we can predict the potential engagement of players. In this work, we carry out an EEG based study on the relationship between emotion changes and events in video gaming. Twenty participants played 3 types of video games and their EEG data were used to study two common emotions in game playing: excitement and frustration. Highly linear correlation with statistical significance between game events and emotion changes was found. This relationship may provide game designer valuable reference to improve game designing with better user satisfaction.
