How does the Reward Prediction Error (RPE) support neurofeedback training in IFEN Hill Climb?
IFEN Hill Climb is a neurofeedback racing game that utilizes the Reward Prediction Error (RPE) by linking real-time brainwave criteria with immediate in-game rewards and performance changes. Vehicle movement and refueling depend on whether the criterion is met, and a criteria bar visualizes this relationship by increasing when the target state is achieved, enabling acceleration, faster refueling, and greater distances. If the criterion is not met, the car slows down, and there is a risk of fuel loss or accidents, creating consistent non-reward periods that encourage continuous adaptation toward the trained state. With trainer-set thresholds that remain constant within a session and motivating goals such as collecting coins and unlocking vehicles, Hill Climb supports structured training and sustained engagement across repeated practice 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).
