Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is one kind of the most attractive and popular worldwide technologies nowadays. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are commonly used in BCI which can feedback the real-time brain signals. Recently, the availability of commercialization of EEG headsets on the market provides massive opportunities for tech geeks to implement EEG in their BCI related researches. This project focuses on a mathematical calculation game and captures the real-time EEG signals when players playing the game simultaneously. Three subjects participated this experiment and have been successfully recorded their brain signals. After completed data analysis, the results of experimental did not reveal any obvious effects when comparing doing calculations with no music, with soft music, and with hard rock music.
