Towards a Biocybernetic Approach for Serious Games Real-time Psychophysiological Inferences for Adaptive Agents in Serious Games

In this article we discuss the possible use of real-time psychophysiology towards the design and implementation of an adaptive affective agent for Serious Games. This work is still in its early stages and this position article aims to present a reflection on the technical and methodological conditions to be met so as to conduct successfully this research. Our hypothesis is that, through the combination of psycho-physiological measurements and in-game behaviour/achievement monitoring, we should be able to identify whether or content is contributing to an efficient and engaging educational experience.
