Ride Your Mind

About

Ride Your Mind is an experimental simulator that turns your brain into a controller. Using an EEG headset, the game translates your neural activity into visual and interactive elements. As you wear the device, your thoughts and emotions shape the environment in real time. The goal isn’t to complete levels or defeat enemies but to observe how your subconscious influences the world around you. The Oculus Rift display immerses you in a constantly shifting landscape generated from your own brain data. This game leans into medical research and neurofeedback technology to create something unconventional. Developed with Unity3D and a custom toolchain, it emphasizes self-awareness over traditional gameplay. While it lacks a structured narrative or replayability, it offers a niche experience for curious players interested in biofeedback mechanics. The 2015 release remains a rare example of brain-computer interfaces in consumer gaming.

Storyline

RYM uses knowledge and devices from the medical world to create an artistic and experimental form of entertainment. The NeuroVR Game RYM is generated by neurofeedback collected by an EmotivEEG Brain Computer Interface (BCI). The game environment gets responsively designed by the actual neuronal data. An Oculus Rift Head-Mounted Display (HMD) displayes the playable visualisation of the users brain. The data will be processed using Unity3D and a specially developed Neurogame Design Toolchain for Unity3D.
