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.

The high prevalence rate of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been a serious public health threat to the modern society. 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.
