…boards and EEG (electroencephalogram) sensors, participants can physiologically connect to the game, playing with their eyes and learning to activate alpha brain waves to promote a sense of calm. These skills are crucial for those affected by autism and attention deficit disorder, and video games can be an engaging way…

…within closed loops, between sensors and muscle actuators. Critically, these loops are also nested and connected to feedback and feedforward pathways that underlie coordination between orofacial motor actions. To determine how the different actions are coordinated to form a rich repertoire of behaviors like the orchestrated displacements of the head,…
