The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

Making a successful video game is hard. Even games that are well-received at launch may fail to engage players in the long term due to issues with the user experience (UX) that they are delivering. That’s why makers of successful video games like Fortnite and Assassin’s Creed invest both time and money perfecting their UX strategy. These top video game creators know that a bad user experience can ruin the prospects for any game regardless of its budget scope or ambition. The game UX accounts for the whole experience players have with a video game from first hearing about it to navigating menus and progressing in the game. UX as a discipline offers guidelines to assist developers in creating the optimal experience they want to deliver including shipping higher quality games (whether indie triple-A or serious games) and meeting business goals - all while staying true to design vision and artistic intent. At its core UX is about understanding the gamer’s brain: understanding human capabilities and limitations to anticipate how a game will be perceived the emotions it will elicit how players will interact with it and how engaging the experience will be. This book is designed to equip readers of all levels from student to professional with cognitive science knowledge and user experience guidelines and methodologies. These insights will help readers identify the ingredients for successful and engaging video games empowering them to develop their own unique game recipe more efficiently while providing a better experience for their audience. The Gamer's Brain: How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design Is written by Celia Hodent - a UX expert with a PhD in psychology who has been working in the entertainment industry for over 10 years including at prominent companies such as Epic Games (Fortnite) Ubisoft and LucasArts. Major themes explored in this book: Provides an overview of how the brain learns and processes information by distilling research findings from cognitive science and psychology research in a very accessible way. Topics covered include: neuromyths perception memory attention motivation emotion and learning. Includes numerous examples from released games of how scientific knowledge translates into game design and how to use a UX framework in game development. Describes how UX can guide developers to improve the usability and the level of engagement a game provides to its target audience by using cognitive psychology knowledge implementing human-computer interaction principles and applying the scientific method (user research). Provides a practical definition of UX specifically applied to games with a unique framework. Defines the most relevant pillars for good usability (ease of use) and good engage-ability (the ability of the game to be fun and engaging) translated into a practical checklist. Covers design thinking game user research game analytics and UX strategy at both a project and studio level. This book is a practical tool that any professional game developer or student can use right away and includes the most complete overview of UX in games existing today. | The Gamer's Brain How Neuroscience and UX Can Impact Video Game Design

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators
