  194.                            <p class="info">This study investigates the potential of blockchain technology to decentralize mobile gaming, offering new opportunities for player empowerment and developer autonomy. By leveraging smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain could allow players to truly own in-game assets, trade them across platforms, and participate in decentralized governance of games. The paper examines the technological challenges, economic opportunities, and legal implications of blockchain integration in mobile gaming ecosystems. It also considers the ethical concerns regarding virtual asset ownership and the potential for blockchain to disrupt existing monetization models.</p>

  221.                            <p class="info">This study applies neuromarketing techniques to analyze how mobile gaming companies assess and influence player preferences, focusing on cognitive and emotional responses to in-game stimuli. By using neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and biometric sensors, the research provides insights into how game mechanics such as reward systems, narrative engagement, and visual design elements affect players’ neurological responses. The paper explores the implications of these findings for mobile game developers, with a particular emphasis on optimizing player engagement, retention, and monetization strategies through the application of neuroscientific principles.</p>

  248.                            <p class="info">This paper explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in personalizing in-game experiences in mobile games, particularly through adaptive gameplay systems that adjust to player preferences, skill levels, and behaviors. The research investigates how AI-driven systems can monitor player actions in real-time, analyze patterns, and dynamically modify game elements, such as difficulty, story progression, and rewards, to maintain player engagement. Drawing on concepts from machine learning, reinforcement learning, and user experience design, the study evaluates the effectiveness of AI in creating personalized gameplay that enhances user satisfaction, retention, and long-term commitment to games. The paper also addresses the challenges of ensuring fairness and avoiding algorithmic bias in AI-based game design.</p>
