The first pinball game for neurofeedback, in 3D!
With BrainPinball, we have managed to implement the popular game as an application for neurofeedback. To do this, we developed an innovative approach that combines operant conditioning (the basis of neurofeedback training) with the usual points allocation at pinball.
The client receives points if the neurofeedback criteria are met and the bumpers are hit with the ball. The client can then score extra points if both conditions are met at the same time.
The reward is direct and without delay, which is an immense advantage for the therapy.
Perfect implementation of the well-known game concept
The feeling and gameplay are similar to the classic pinball game. At the start of a round, a ball is thrown into the playing field from above. From there, it slowly rolls down, colliding with the bumper blocks, who credit points with every hit. Finally, the players have to control paddles (so-called flippers) at the right time to bring the ball up again.
Since BrainPinball is based on well-known and popular game mechanics, it is intuitive and quick to understand. The unpredictable movements of the ball also make the game exciting for over a longer period of time. Thanks to the independent operation of the paddles, the client feels as if they are directly influencing the gameplay with their thoughts.
BrainPinball is suitable for all types of neurofeedback training: amplitude training, frequency band training, Z-Scores.
