EEG Lab Training Game
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a specialized technology used to record brain activity, and understanding how to operate an EEG instrument is crucial in the field of neuropsychology. However, accessing such equipment can be challenging for most students due to its limited availability and the extensive training required to operate the device. To address this issue, a 3D simulation game has been developed to provide students with a virtual experience of working in an EEG sleep lab and learning the intricacies of operating an EEG device for a research on sleep and dream.

"Growledge Farm" is a quiz battle mobile phone game.
By answering questions correctly, students can occupy land and grow trees that bear fruits. The fruits can be sold in the market to earn game money. With the game money earned, gamers can purchase essential water to keep their trees alive and further expand their virtual farms. A gamer can capture others’ land by proposing new questions. Students, in this sense, can become contributors and foster an environment of co-learning in the process of the game.
