  99.                    <p>This paper investigates the potential of neurofeedback and biofeedback techniques in mobile games to enhance player performance and overall gaming experience. The research examines how mobile games can integrate real-time brainwave monitoring, heart rate variability, and galvanic skin response to provide players with personalized feedback and guidance to improve focus, relaxation, or emotional regulation. Drawing on neuropsychology and biofeedback research, the study explores the cognitive and emotional benefits of biofeedback-based game mechanics, particularly in improving players' attention, stress management, and learning outcomes. The paper also discusses the ethical concerns related to the use of biofeedback data and the potential risks of manipulating player physiology.</p>
  100. <p>The storytelling in video games has matured into an art form, offering players complex narratives filled with rich characters, moral dilemmas, and emotionally resonant experiences that rival those found in literature and cinema. Players are no longer passive consumers but active participants in interactive narratives, shaping the outcome of stories through their choices and actions. This interactive storytelling blurs the line between player and protagonist, creating deeply personal and immersive narratives that leave a lasting impact.</p>
  101. <p>Esports has risen as a global phenomenon, transforming skilled gamers into celebrated athletes.

  194.                            <p class="info">This study explores how mobile games can be designed to enhance memory retention and recall, investigating the cognitive mechanisms involved in how players remember game events, strategies, and narratives. Drawing on cognitive psychology, the research examines the role of repetition, reinforcement, and narrative structures in improving memory retention. The paper also explores the impact of mobile gaming on the formation of episodic and procedural memory, with particular focus on the implications of gaming for educational settings, rehabilitation programs, and cognitive therapy. It proposes a framework for designing mobile games that optimize memory functions while considering individual differences in memory processing.</p>
