Abstract

This study investigated players' motivation during serious game play It is based on a theoretical model of motivation (John Keller's ARCS model of motivation) and EEG measures Statistical analysis showed a significant increase of motivation during the game Moreover, results of power spectral analysis showed EEG waves patterns correlated with increase of motivation during different parts of serious game play.
