| Research Abstract |
To improve the accuracy of the yes/no devices that response cerebral blood flow by near infrared spectroscopy, we developed a cerebral blood flow auditory feedback device. We also investigated the possibility of this device as daily living aids suggested Totally locked-in State(TLS) by connecting a yes/no device to an Environmental Control System. The study showed the usefulness of the auditory devices systems by the blood flow, as well as the effectiveness in controlling auditory feedback by the blood flow. These results raised the possibility to connect this device to the home appliances. The study suggested that adjustment of the environment, such as using this device, and the appropriate evaluation of the remained patients' functions can improve the ability to participate the lives even for the severest patients, such as the TLS, who completely lost their mobility.
