Brain Connectivity Visual Perception Training via Spatial Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods lack effective rehabilitation for visual field defects caused by brain damage, particularly in patients with blindsight syndrome, where visual information is processed outside the visual cortex, leading to impaired visual perception.
Innovation Solution
A brain connectivity-based visual perception training device and method that combines spatial movement images with visual perception training images, utilizing a head-mounted display to stimulate the hippocampus and visual cortex, providing tasks and rewards in a virtual space to improve visual perception function.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If visual perception training is provided only to the visual cortex, then the training method is simple, but the rehabilitation effect is limited for patients with blindsight syndrome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines visual perception training with spatial navigation training, merging two distinct training functions into a single integrated system. The head-mounted display simultaneously presents visual stimuli for perception training and spatial environments for navigation training, allowing both visual cortex and hippocampus to be stimulated together through a unified training protocol
Solution Approach 2:
The training system is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides visual perception training for the visual cortex, spatial navigation training for the hippocampus, and combines both into an integrated rehabilitation protocol. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to address multiple brain regions and rehabilitation needs simultaneously
2Reliability
If visual perception training is provided simultaneously with spatial movement, then brain connectivity training is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges visual perception training and spatial navigation training into a single integrated system delivered through one head-mounted display device. Both training modalities are presented simultaneously or sequentially through the same hardware platform, reducing the need for multiple separate devices while enhancing brain connectivity training
