Designing the BrainTagger Researcher Platform to Automate Development of Customized Cognitive Games

EasyChair Preprint no. 5233

Abstract

Serious games have grown significantly in popularity, but proving their scientific validity through research studies is a common hurdle for researchers and game developers. To scale up capacity to collaborate with different groups of researchers, Centivizer Inc. (a University of Toronto spinoff company) has employed a user-centered design process to design a BrainTagger Research Platform (BRP) that will largely automate the development process of its customizable serious games for cognitive assessment. This new development will increase the capacity to gather research data needed to improve game mechanisms and demonstrate game validity.

Keyphrases: cognitive assessment, Human Factors Engineering, Rapid Prototyping, serious games, user interface design, user testing, User testing.
