Summary

HEROES is a multidisciplinary neurophysiological \& neural rehabilitation engineering project, developed by the Lab of Medical Physics \& Digital Innovation, School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Science Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and supported by a Neurosurgical Department. The website for the project can be accessed at https://heroes.med.auth.gr.

The investigation's primary objectives include the development, testing and optimization of an intervention based on multiple immersive man-machine interfaces offering rich feedback, that include a) mountable robotic arm controlled with wireless Brain-Computer Interface and b) wearable robotics jacket \& gloves in combination with a serious game application and c) augmented reality module for the presentation of the previous two, as well as the development and validation of a self-paced neuro-rehabilitation protocol for patients after chronic stroke with severe residual motor disability.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Brain-Computer Interface control of robotic arms with augmented reality

The participants will be trained to modulate self-paced Visual Motor Imagery (VMI) and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery (KMI) under EEG recording in order to achieve BCI-control of a custom-built bimanual arms robot (MERCURY v2.0). In KMI they will be asked to modulate brain waves in order to learn to control the BCI and in VMI they will additionally be projected a visual cue (representation of the intended movement). BCI will be used to control the arms in physical space as well as in an Augmented Reality Environment. Each participant will take part in 3 sessions

DEVICE

Serious game with augmented reality

The participants will don wearable robotics and use them as input to play a dojo-themed immersive serious game intended at tracking participants movement and presenting them with motor tasks to perform. The game will be played in a computer screen, as well as in an Augmented Reality Environment. Each participant will take part in 10 sessions
