To be able to gain knowledge of human brain and study tbe perception of human towards stimulated events, emotions and sense, scientists have been using few main methods. They are Electroencephalograph (EEG), Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Magnetoencephalograph (MEG). These technologies, up to this date are able to help scientists, researchers and doctors to understand how brain works and doing analysis upon tbem. [1]. Meanwhile tbis prqject will be focusing on the usage of EEG to do tbe analysis on human brain. The EEG shows electrical impulses of tbe brain and can be recorded in form of waves. Recently, tbe emerging of auto stereoscopic 3D technology of Nintendo 3DS has bring new gaming experience as players can see 3D. The objective of this project is to use EEG equipment to analyse tbe activity of human brain when playing console game Nintendo 3DS in 2 dimensions (2D) mode and 3 dimensions (3D) mode. The purpose of this project is also to study and compare on human brain perception of 2D and 3D gaming. Our brain perceives 2D and 3D moving images of video games differently, and we would want to study how different tbey are. In tbe end, tbis project will be able to explain and conclude how human brain responds to 2D and 3D gaming of Nintendo 3DS console game and what difference tbey make in human visual system of brain.
