Brain-Computer Interface Training Device and System

This technology is a training device that rehabilitates motor nerves based on EEG by inducing a sense of body ownership, linking a model that mimics a specific part of the human body with a stimulation unit that provides physical feedback.

There have been challenges regarding motor impairment in patients with brain injuries, as well as limitations in existing virtual reality-based rehabilitation methods.

This technology provides a training system that uses joints and actuators to move a model mimicking a specific body part in a real-world environment, while simultaneously applying physical stimulation to both the actual body part and the model to induce neuroplasticity. It can be applied to rehabilitation training, gait assistance, and medical/welfare services, improving motor function in patients with movement disorders by providing feedback and promoting neuroplasticity.

Key Features:

• A model unit comprising joints, actuators installed on the joints, and a main body connected to the actuators that can move in specific directions relative to the joints and is shaped to mimic a specific part of the human body.
• A model unit comprising a main body connected to an actuator that can move in specific directions relative to a joint and is shaped to mimic a specific part of the human body.
• A stimulation unit that provides stimulation to a portion of the main body and the corresponding specific part of the human body.
• A stimulation unit that provides stimulation to a specific part of the human body corresponding to a portion of the main body.
