  • Electronic game using a player's physiological responses
    Patent number: 4358118
    Abstract: An electronic game for one or more players senses physiological responses of each player's body indicative of the level of calmness of the player. These responses are compared to those of the other player (or to a reference level established by the machine) in order to score points whenever the difference between calmness levels exceeds a predetermined degree. Points are counted in a visual display associated selectively with whichever player has, according to the game, either the lower or higher level of calmness.
