  Using intracranial EEG, we have developed BCI, which presents some images of an imagined meaning on the screen. In addition, we have confirmed that when humans control images by their imagery while looking at a screen, brain activity corresponding to the imagined meaning is observed. This technology will be applied for reconstruction of communication function of severely paralyzed patients and novel information technology to search information based on imagery.

• BCI training reduced Phantom limb pain　2020.07.29

  Using Brain-computer interface based on magnetoencepharography signals, which estimates the motor cortical currents, a virtual phantom hand image was controlled. When phantom limb pain patients were trained to control the BCI phantom hand image for three days, their pain significantly reduced for five days. We are aiming to apply the technology to clinical use.
