And thats just for starters. Advocates of so-called neurogaming（交感神经游戏）say the concept in a few years will combine a wide variety of physiological factors, from a players heart rate and hand gestures to pupil dilation(瞳孔扩张) and emotions.

It measures separate brainwave frequencies that reflect how focused the player is and how calm they are, according to Lat Ware of Emeryville, California., who developed the game.

These are measured by such factors as their facial expressions, eye movement and skin-conductance(皮肤导电) levels. Another approach is to make games that influence how the player thinks and feels. Consider Los Angeles-based Melon, which, like Throw Trucks With Your Mind, was recently launched via the onl
