| Research Abstract |
Prediction-outcome and spatial aspects in cognitive behavior are important factors of funs in games. Here, we obtained neuronal activities suggesting that dorsal premotor area is involved in multiple predictions of possible behaviors, whereas supplementary eye field is related to prediction of positive and negative outcomes and detection of surprising outcomes. We also developed a training game and a character input device providing “funs", “special aspects" and “predictions" for physically challenged people.
