Sistema para auxilio de analises psicofisiologicas com o uso de jogos digitais

Abstract

Psychophysiological analyzes are powerful tools that have revolutionized neurosciences since 1929 with the creation of electroencephalography (EEG). These tools made it possible to perceive the behavior of the brain under different stimuli, providing a better understanding of psychological processes by evaluating the physiological reactions, being widely used in behavioral studies. Digital games are included in this context because they are used to provide sensorial stimuli, requiring a cognitive processing at different levels of interpretation. However, this emerging research area faces major challenges since game events need to be computed with high temporal resolution to achieve a greater understanding of the experience. To contribute to this context, this work proposes and implements a tool to make the research that uses psychophysiological analysis easier by using digital games in the process of behavior analysis, through the automatic registration of events with the frequency and precision required to follow systems of psychophysiological records. The tool has been validate by bulletproof experiment about it ables to analyze psychophysiological data more effectively when researchers using digital games in their research.
