Key Takeaways
- Neurogames combine gaming with brain-computer interfaces.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation can modify brain activity without surgery.
- Current neurogames are mostly therapeutic or experimental.
- High hardware costs and user comfort are major barriers to mainstream adoption.
- Future neurogames should prioritize fun while incorporating incidental therapeutic benefits.
- Ethical, medical, and privacy issues must be addressed early.
- Collaboration with established game developers could speed up adoption.
- Diego envisions a commercially viable neurogame launching soon using a freemium model.
- Mainstream adoption may be just a few years away if innovation accelerates.
