How does the Reward Prediction Error (RPE) support neurofeedback training in IFEN Air Game?
IFEN AirGame is a neurofeedback game that utilizes the Reward Prediction Error (RPE) by clearly and continuously linking rewards to real-time brain state criteria. The plane moves forward, and the score steadily increases only when the criteria are met; if they are not met, the score does not increase. This creates frequent, easily learned feedback updates that reinforce the desired regulatory pattern. Striking reward events, such as the 100-point bonus for hitting the target, increase motivation without altering the underlying contingency, and an adjustable threshold logic supports individualized shaping across repeated sessions.
Neurofeedback is understood as a self-regulation process based on reinforcement learning, in which this is acquired through contingent feedback.
Motivation, salience of the reinforcer, and sustained engagement are considered important moderators of learning success. Since the subjective motivational value of feedback can vary between individuals and decrease with repeated exposure, the adaptive design of feedback environments is discussed as an approach to maintain effective reinforcement.
Against this background, offering multiple feedback or game options can be understood as a theoretically sound strategy to support engagement, reduce habituation effects, and maintain the reinforcing value of feedback across training sessions, thereby potentially promoting learning stability and the transfer of effects (Schwartz & Andrasik, 2016; Enriquez-Geppert et al., 2017; Lubianiker et al., 2022; Sitaram et al., 2024).

With the IFEN Air Game, we have succeeded in transferring the experience of flying into the world of neurofeedback. To achieve this, we have developed an innovative approach that combines operant conditioning – the basis of neurofeedback training – with a sophisticated evaluation system, thus enabling precise feedback for an optimal learning process.
The reward is immediate – a crucial advantage in therapeutic applications.
The IFEN Air Game is suitable for all forms of neurofeedback training, including amplitude training, frequency band training and Z-score-based training.
