Research Abstract |
The "mind/brain-human interface(MBHI)", which is defined as a system that recognizes human emotions, is expected to enhance the quality of life for the patients, because this system enables us to know how the patients feel during medical and/or care procedures. We performed some basic studies for developing the NIRS-based MBHI. It has been found that the lateral PFC plays a critical role for generation and regulation of emotion.
