ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for controlling video and film games by a player's (22) bioelectrical signals (44) comprising the steps of displaying a sequence of visual images having a predetermined control signal (62), obtaining an electroencephalographic (EEG) signal (44) from the player (22) while the player (22) is viewing the display of visual images, analyzing the EEG signal (44) to determine its magnitude, sending a signal (60) to the player (22) when the magnitude falls within a range of values corresponding to an amplitude threshold voltage (66) thereby causing the player (22) to mentally concentrate on the display (40) and affect a change on the magnitude of the EEG signal (44) which changes the sequence of visual images being displayed in accordance with the change in magnitude.
