Our goal is to promote brain health through “bSports” (brain-Sports), a form of social sport competition using brain-machine interfaces. As the core technology, we have been developing an electroencephalography-based cognitive training system, “Neurotrainer,” using event-related potential as a virtual “mind switch” to control games. Here, we aimed to assess the performance of the Neurotrainer under competitive conditions between players. Fifteen pairs of healthy adults, including older people with tendency of degrading motor functions, were involved in a one-hour session of 4 games. Each player activated the mind switch to select one of eight pictograms to control his/her robot avatar for its desired action. All players regardless of age performed well at the level of about 85% success rate and reported that they had fun with our body-free technologies. These results suggest that bSports is an effective cognitive training and social activity that can be appreciated by people across all generations.

We have been developing a cognitive assessment system based on an electroencephalography-based brain-machine interface (EEG-based BMI) that uses event-related potentials (ERPs) as a virtual “EEG switch.” ERP reflects a temporal change in attention and is also known as a potential biomarker for assessing cognitive functions for older people even with motor decline. We recorded EEG data from 26 healthy adult subjects (18-79 years old) who performed the target-selection task with the EEG switch and compared the result with that of a standard neuropsychological test, the “Trail Making Test” (TMT). We found a correlation between them, and the result showed that this system has the potential for early detection of cognitive decline in order people.
