Disclosed herein is a system that uses an eye tracker for diagnosing and facilitating rehabilitation therapy of a patient suffering from disability. The system creates a human machine interface (HMI) that integrates various low cost biosensors and artificial sensors for conducting rehabilitation therapy. The system combines spinal and supra-spinal feedback of the patient with the operant conditioning to facilitate visuomotor balance therapy (VBT), thereby reducing fall risk in disability survivors. The operant conditioning setup for shaping of visuomotor learning to bring about new behavior or to modify a certain aspect of an existing behavior is used for rehabilitation therapy that includes a behaviour response apparatus, a reward delivery module, a stimulus delivery system, and a behaviour control system. The system can also be extended to the patient's home for providing telerehabilitation therapy.

The invention relates to a bionic intelligent control method. In order to solve the problems that the intelligence level capable of being met by a traditional robot control method is limited, a robot cannot independently adapt to an unknown environment, has difficulty in acquiring the capacity for completing complex tasks from simple experience and cannot complete tasks through self-learning, a biological sensorimotor nervous system is simulated from the bionic perspective, and the operant conditioning mechanism is fused into the design of the sensorimotor system.

The present invention is a functional communication lexigram device and training method for operation thereof that animals autonomously operate to initiate communication to “voice” their choices to (a) the people around them using recorded spoken words or sounds (or other detectable cue) and/or to (b) wired, wireless or internet connected accessory devices receiving an output signal from the device. The invention includes the method for training the human and the animal how to operate the device using operant conditioning techniques. Using the training method, the animal is taught to press or touch button-like modalities that are identified by visual-tactile-auditory cues and by position in a fixed array and to associate pressing each of the particular button-like modalities with particular positive consequences. The device is used by animals to initiate a communicative interaction with humans; it provides humans with an easily understood cue to meet an animal's needs to improve caregiving, and it provides the animal with more autonomy, choices, and control over environmental features important to it.

The invention relates to a method for training the writing of a character and graph. According to the method, a practice template and methods such as a track, coordinates, formulas and the like are adopted during training so that a practice can master the structure of a Chinese character in 5 minutes and form dynamic stereotype of correct writing track between 3 and 10 days. According to the Skinner operant conditioning and positive reinforcing principle and the Pavlov dynamic stereotype theory, a training rule of writing the character for the first time and a set of dynamic stereotype (automatic conditioning system) of correct writing track is required to be formed during training for mastering writing. A writing track is copied for multiple times in a standard character and graph groove to rapidly establish operant conditioning, the practicer can immediately see the training effect, receive rewards from the practicer or others, strengthen and rapidly form the dynamic stereotype of correct writing track. Therefore, a complicated, boring and low-efficiency practicing method is changed into a simple, interesting and high-efficiency leaning process.
