Mind Over Matter
Mind Over Matter
Mind Over Matter is a brain-computer interaction (BCI) powered 2D side scroller game in which players control a spaceship and must fly as far as possible without crashing. The player will have to avoid procedurally generated obstacles including asteroids, moons, planets and other spaceships. Certain obstacles can also be shot by the laser cannons on the player's ship to destroy them. The player's ship will be controlled using the traditional paradigm of a keyboard, however the game's environment will automatically adapt to the user's cognitive state based on data sent by an EEG (electroencephalogram) headset.

The headset will detect your level of frustration, fatigue and focus:
🔥 Frustration
Triggers additional obstacles. Higher fatigue levels introduce more challenges in the environment.
😴 Fatigue
Increases game difficulty. The more frustrated you are, the harder the game becomes - so try to stay calm!
🎯 Focus
Unlocks and strengthens your weapon. The more focused you are, the more powerful your weapon becomes.
