Psychophysiological analyzes are powerful tools that have revolutionized neurosciences since 1929 with the creation of electroencephalography (EEG). These tools made it possible to perceive the behavior of the brain under different stimuli, providing a better understanding of psychological processes by evaluating the physiological reactions, being widely used in behavioral studies. Digital games are included in this context because they are used to provide sensorial stimuli, for this it is required a cognitive processing at different levels of interpretation. However, this emerging research area faces major challenges since game events need to be computed with high temporal resolution to achieve a greater understanding of the experience. To contribute in this content, this work intends to propose a tool to make easy the research that uses psychophysiological analysis for aiding in the process of behavior analysis with the use of digital games, through the automatic registration of events with the frequency and precision necessary to follow systems of psychophysiological records. By employing this solution in experiments, we hope that neuroscience researchers will be able to analyze psychophysiological data more effectively when using digital games in their research.
