This document summarizes an experiment on how the human brain and body respond to playing games with robots. The experiment tested the effects of winning and losing on EEG brain wave readings and heart rate variability. The results showed that losing decreased brain wave activity by 15%, similar to the effects of anesthesia. Heart rate variability did not change between winning and losing. The experiment concluded that while humans try to understand robotic behavior, they do not enjoy losing even when they understand why.
