Abstract
Interactive Narrative is a form of digital entertainment based on AI techniques which support narrative
generation and user interaction. Despite recent progress in the field, there is still a lack of unified models
integrating narrative generation, user response and interaction.
This paper addresses this issue by revisiting existing Interactive Narrative paradigms, granting explicit
status to users’ disposition towards story characters. We introduce a novel Brain-Computer Interface
(BCI) design, which attempts to capture empathy for the main character in a way that is compatible with
filmic theories of emotion.
Results from two experimental studies with a fully-implemented system demonstrate the effectiveness
of a neurofeedback-based approach, showing that subjects can successfully modulate their emotional
support for a character who is confronted with challenging situations. A preliminary fMRI analysis also
shows activation during user interaction, in regions of the brain associated with emotional control.
