Hybrid active rehabilitation method and device based on mirror neurons and brain-computer interface

Abstract

The invention relates to a hybrid active rehabilitation method and device based on mirror neurons and a brain-computer interface. The invention aims to provide the hybrid active rehabilitation methodand device based on mirror neurons and the brain-computer interface, so as to improve the enthusiasm of rehabilitation training of a patient and promote reconstruction of brain functions. According tothe technical scheme, the hybrid active rehabilitation method based on the mirror neurons and the brain-computer interface is characterized in that the method comprises the steps: presenting the external stimulation capable of stimulating the mirror neurons of a patient to generate an active movement idea to the patient; acquiring an electroencephalogram signal containing an active motion idea ofthe patient; analyzing the motion intention of the patient according to the electroencephalogram signal; and controlling a motion execution module to assist the affected limb of the patient to complete motion corresponding to the patient motion intention according to the patient motion intention. The method is suitable for the field of brain rehabilitation training.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hybrid active rehabilitation method and device based on mirror neuron and brain-computer interface. It is suitable for the field of brain rehabilitation training. Background technique [0002] Mirror neurons are the most important discovery in the field of neuroscience at the end of the 20th century. They have been used in the rehabilitation of cognitive impairment, speech impairment, and motor dysfunction in neurorehabilitation, and have important potential and clinical application value. Mirror neurons are a special class of neurons that fire not only when an individual performs a specific action, but also when the individual observes others of their own kind performing the same or a similar action. The mechanism of mirror neuron therapy may be to promote plastic changes and functional reorganization of the brain through the activation of the mirror neuron system, thereby promoting the recovery of damaged motor function.

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the current rehabilitation robots mainly help patients to perform passive training, and promote the remodeling of neural pathways through one-way stimulation of the motion-sensing neural pathways from the affected limbs to the brain, but this method is boring and inefficient, and lacks the benefits for patients. Participation in the maintenance of enthusiasm, lack of stimulation of motor control neural pathways and stimulation of active motor ideas, failure to complete the rehabilitation and reconstruction of motor neural circuits, so the treatment effect is poor
