Abstract

This paper focuses on the analysis of EEG (electroencephalographic) signals measured during gameplay of the video game „Minesweeper". The research explores an innovative approach to understanding how cognitive processes influence performance in the "Minesweeper" game. Data collected through EEG were used to train an Artificial Intelligence model, specifically a Machine Learning model. This model's task is to predict player performance based on EEG signals, specifically: the game outcome (win or loss) and the completion time (in seconds).
