iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you. Fusebox

Understanding ongoing mental states using video games: applications to mental health research. Theme Game Data Project proposed & supervised by Alex Wade To discuss whether this project could become your PhD proposal please email: alex.wade@york.ac.uk < Back Understanding ongoing mental states using video games: applications to mental health research. Project proposal abstract: A player’s behaviour in a game is directly linked to their personality and gives detailed information on their decision making processes, showing how they approach risks, socialisation and problem solving. Analysing these behaviours may also provide information about mental health disorders and indicate how these change over time. Neuroimaging methods (EEG/MEG/fMRI) can be used to examine the neural responses and patterns of ongoing neuronal activity that occur while players are engaged in a game. By linking these data to modern theories of neural economics we can explore and potentially improve aspects of a player's decision making, such as: attention span, focus, risk taking and delayed reward. This PhD will use a combination of neuroscience and advanced data analysis methods to examine the link between video game play and the brain. We will use a combination of cutting-edge data analytic techniques applied to large, existing video game telemetry datasets and neuroimaging experiments designed to measure changes in ongoing mental states while people play simple video games. The PhD would suit a student with good data analytics skills and some experience in neuroscience. Supervisor: Alex Wade Based at:
