Abstract: Brain computer interface technology (BCI) is of great interest as a potential therapeutic measure for people with severe neurological disorders. We forms an interdisciplinary research team to promote its clinical transfer and to explore underlying neurological mechanisms. In this talk, I will address the tips how neural plasticity for functional recovery from stroke is induced by means of BCI. Some neuroscientific theories and practices related to BCI rehabilitation will be given.Outside the BCI study, our laboratory recently launched robotic rehabilitation and MRI study for visualizing structural plasticity of the brains. The brief summary of these ongoing projects will be also introduced at the latter half of my talk.
