Recreational Applications of OpenViBE: Brain Invaders and Use-the-Force

This chapter aims at providing the reader with two examples of open-source BCI-games that work with the OpenViBE platform. These two games are “Brain Invaders” and “Use-The-Force!” and are representative examples of two types of BCI: ERP-based BCI and oscillatory activity-based BCI. This chapter presents the principle, design and evaluation of these games, as well as how they are implemented in practice within OpenViBE. This aims at providing the interested readers with a practical basis to design their own BCI-based games.
