The Stanford Controller was developed by Corey McCall, a doctoral candidate at Stanford University, under the supervision of Gregory Kovacs. The controller is a modified Xbox 360 controller with biosensors on both sides and below to measure the user's heart rate, respiration rate, and skin temperature. A matching software analyzes these physiological signals to determine how engaged or bored the player is with the game, with the goal of developing new ways to measure bodily functions objectively.

- A software measure these data and rated
what is going on in the brain
- With these data the software determines
whether the player likes the game
