the ongoing EEG to send the move command to the
game server.
While the Go player is wearing the wireless EEG headset, the technician must first check the impedance
between the scalp and the EEG electrodes to collect highquality EEG signals. Figure 4(a) shows the impedance
map of the O1 and O2 channels (~100 KΩ). Figure 4(b)
includes the Go player's EEG signals collected from the
O1 and O2 channels where he or she successfully perceived the 8-Hz visual stimulus for controlling the up
arrow. The DDF then communicates with the BCI via the
WebSocket protocol. The decoded EEGs are sent to the
NCHC server in Taiwan and then to the FAIR DF AI Go
engine to control the stone's movement. Humans can now
play Go hands-free, and they can even cooperate with a
robot that is able to predict and suggest the next best
move to compete against the DDF. In 2017, Epoch Times
Calgary reported on this event in Banff [13], and Taiwan's
CTV channel covered it in "The Pride of Taiwan! The
World's First: Playing Go Using Brainwaves in Banff" [16].

Game Results
One of the top computer Go programs, DeepZenGo, Japan,
played seven games without handicaps against professional
Go players, including Chun-Hsun Chou (9P), Ping-Chiang
Chou (6P), and Kai-Hsin Chang (5P). This program uses a
