Orchestration of sensors and actuators in neuro-rehabilitation experiments and practice

Abstract

In traditional rehabilitation a therapist is observing and modifying various kinds of states of a patient. Therefore, to develop a system to help with tasks of therapist, we are facing a complex problem: how to integrate the various devices with diverse inputs and outputs to function as one system? In this paper we represent a systematic approach to build neuro-rehabilitation systems with an integration framework. We discuss a system design issues related to performance and the demanding requirements of rehabilitation. The introduced framework is available for download at: https://github.com/riken-ibcu/bclab.
