"Pure mind control" artificial neural rehabilitation robot came out

Release date: 2014-06-18

At the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Brazil, the Brazilian youth Noppito, who suffered paraplegia, kicked off the World Cup with the help of brain-controlled mechanical exoskeleton technology. A scene similar to "magic" was once again staged in Tianjin, China.
On June 14th, at the press conference of the "Pure Thought Control" artificial nerve rehabilitation robot system jointly organized by Tianjin University and Tianjin People's Hospital, Dong Ayi, who was biased by the stroke, could "command" the inaction by "thinking". The limbs "obediently" complete the corresponding action.
This 10-year technology was jointly developed by the neuroengineering research team of Tianjin University and the Tianjin People's Hospital. It is the national “863 Program”, the “12th Five-Year” National Science and Technology Support Program and the National Outstanding Youth Science Fund Key Support Project. Major breakthroughs in key technologies such as analysis and processing of compound imaginary motion information, asynchronous brain-machine interface training and recognition, cortical layer-simultaneous coupling optimization of muscle activity, and nonlinear feature extraction and screening of post-stroke depression EEG have been achieved. The self-owned intellectual property cluster, which includes 23 authorized national invention patents and one software copyright, is a “pure mind control” artificial neural robot system suitable for full limb stroke rehabilitation.
Patients with hemiplegia or paraplegia due to stroke are damaged by the central nervous system (such as the brain) or peripheral nerves (such as limbs), the nerve pathway is blocked, the brain can not send the correct instructions, or the instructions can not be transmitted to the peripheral nerves, and thus can not "direct" the limb muscles Shrinking, unable to move normally.
"Our job is to correctly and quickly decode the brain signal, 'reshape the central nervous system, and then construct a complete 'artificial nerve pathway' to connect the damaged central nervous system with peripheral nerves." The person in charge, Professor Ming Dong of the School of Fine Arts, Tianjin University said.
The experiencer wears an EEG detector with electrodes on the head and installs electrodes on the muscles of the affected limb. With the connection of "Shengong No.1", you can use "ideas" to "control" yourself. The limbs of action.
Ming Dong said that "intention control" can actually be seen as the process of reading and understanding the brain's nerve signals from external devices. It needs to first extract the EEG data of the experiencer and construct a "password book" with the idea control instructions of the individual characteristics. Then through the asynchronous "brain-machine interface" technology of EEG to simulate the central nervous pathway, decoding the experience information of the experience, and then driving the multi-level neuromuscular electrical stimulation technology to simulate the peripheral neural pathway, thereby stimulating the corresponding movement of the limb.
According to Mingdong, the brain-machine interface can read EEG information non-invasively, and it is no longer necessary to implant the chip into the brain or spinal cord, so that people can read the "ideas" more accurately.
The “imagination” of the experiencer is not just a simple control command, but a way of activation of the brain area. The imagination is the actual limb movement to be implemented, realizing the simultaneous coupling of the cerebral cortex and muscle activity, so that the body can move freely and think. Unity.
"Shengong No.1" not only acts as a "substitute" for brain-controlled mechanical exoskeleton, but also has a "repair" effect. Compared with traditional rehabilitation methods, "Shengong No.1" changes the patient's recovery from passive to passive. initiative. Du Jinang, director of the rehabilitation department of Tianjin People's Hospital and director of the Tianjin Rehabilitation Medical Research Institute, said that Dong Ayi, who had only experienced "Shengong No.1" three times, has been able to move his feet, legs and thumbs.
