Neurofeedback During Creative Expression as a Therapeutic Tool

Engaging users within therapeutic and rehabilitative trainings is a challenge towards sparking, and maintaining motivation. We explored how electroencephalographic (EEG) signals may be used to engage patients, and promote creative rehabilitation and therapeutic interventions. We introduce a proof-of-concept measuring EEG during therapeutic drawing to adapt an interactive canvas online.
