EEG-based "serious games" for medical applications attracted recently more attention from the research community and industry as wireless EEG reading devices became easily available on the market. EEG-based technology has been applied in anesthesiology, psychology, etc. In this paper, we proposed and developed EEG-based "serious" games and doctor's monitoring tools that could be used for pain management. As EEG signal is considered to have a fractal nature, we proposed and develop a novel spatio-temporal fractal based algorithm for brain state quantification. The algorithm is implemented with blobby visualization tools for patient monitoring and in EEG-based "serious" games. Such games could be used by patient even at home convenience for pain management as an alternative to traditional drug treatment.

: Delirium in postoperative geriatric hip fracture patients is a serious and often preventable condition. If detected in time, it can be treated, but a delay in the diagnosis and initiation of treatment impairs outcomes. A novel approach to detect delirium is to use point-of-care electro-encephalogram (EEG) recording with automated analysis.

Schizophrenia (SZ) is a serious mental disorder that can mainly be distinguished by symptoms including delusions and hallucinations. This mental disorder makes difficult conditions for the person and her/his relatives. Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is a sophisticated neuroimaging technique that helps neurologists to diagnose this mental disorder.

Depression is a serious mental health disorder affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Timely and precise recognition of depression is vital for appropriate mediation and effective treatment. Electroencephalography (EEG) has surfaced as a promising tool for inspecting the neural correlates of depression and therefore, has the potential to contribute to the diagnosis of depression effectively.

Recently, many studies have demonstrated the potential of using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) and machine learning to assist the diagnosis of AD/MCI. However, the majority of these research recorded EEG signals from a single center, leading to significant concerns regarding the generalizability of the findings in clinical settings.
