| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
① Investigation of cerebral activation patterns of patients with brain injury operating a driving simulator after brain injury using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The areas that showed significant activity in healthy subjects spanned from the frontal region to the temporal and parietal regions, and were more prominent in the right cerebral hemisphere than in the left. ② Establishment of the procedure method for return to safe driving in brain injured patient; Based on the above-mentioned result, I examined validity of off-road and on-road evaluation of driving ability after brain injury. Off-road evaluation include neurological examination, neuropsychological tests, brain imaging (CT, MRI) and driving assessment using a driving simulator. On-road evaluation is conducted by the cooperation with two driving schools. I evaluated the effectiveness of these procedure methods from the results of 40 brain injured patients.
