Abstract

Sophisticated video games that integrate engaging cognitive training with real-time biosensing and neurostimulation have the potential to optimize cognitive performance in health and disease. We argue that technology development must be paired with rigorous scientific validation and discuss academic and industry opportunities in this field.

Keywords: closed loop; cognitive training; multimodal; neurofeedback; neuroplasticity; neurostimulation; personalized; video game.
