Research in HSME lab
Research in the Health Science and Medical Engineering Laboratory utilizes noninvasive brain imaging and biomedical measurement techniques to develop novel applications for medicine and rehabilitation. The photograph shown demonstrates the experimental setting of our electroencephalogram (EEG)-based brain-machine interface (BMI), a “mind-operated” robotic hand to help people with physical disabilities. Electrodes attached onto the subject's scalp detect very small potential responses regarding his/her change of attention, which is transformed into an operational command that moves the robotic hand. In collaboration with medical doctors and mechanical engineering researchers, our research aims at developing a fast and accurate BMI system feasible for clinical use. Our laboratory also focuses on biosignal processing for quantitative evaluation of stress, emotion, and memory, utilizing the noninvasive biomedical measurement tools of near-infrared spectroscopy, EEG, magnetoencephalogram, electrocardiogram, electromyogram, and electronic pupillometer.
The ongoing research topics are the followings.
- Brain machine interface-based neurorehabilitation for stroke motor/cognitive impairment [Suggested readings]
- VR system for stroke motor/cognitive rehabilitation
- Study on brain activity biomarker for cognitive decline in elderly people
- Study on epilepsy biomarker and prediction of surgical outcome
- Muscle oxygen metabolism measurement for early diagnosis of frailty and diabetes
- Sports physiology combining functional measurements of muscle blood flow, oxygen metabolism, muscle electrical activity, and EEG
- Brain activity/connectivity research on cancer pain
- Brain activity/connectivity research on interpersonal communication
- Brain activity/connectivity research on flow experience
- Chewing and cognitive health
- Evaluation of systemic health impact by dental occlusion treatment
