Improve Mechanical/Thermal Design and Design Real-Time Neurofeedback
FY 2021-22 · 2021-08-02
Summary
This project involves improving the technical performance of its headband prototype, by both re-designing its mechanical parts such that they can be repeatedly made to specification, and re-designing its electrical and mechanical parts such that the headband has its external temperature reduced during use. The project also involves work on the product's software, specifically developing algorithms that allow for real-time brain activity feedback through its tablet-based software, as well as algorithms and user-interface elements enabling motion-capture-based rehabilitation games (utilizing only the camera on a tablet).

Description
This project involves improving the technical performance of its headband prototype, by both re-designing its mechanical parts such that they can be repeatedly made to specification, and re-designing its electrical and mechanical parts such that the headband has its external temperature reduced during use. The project also involves work on the product's software, specifically developing algorithms that allow for real-time brain activity feedback through its tablet-based software, as well as algorithms and user-interface elements enabling motion-capture-based rehabilitation games (utilizing only the camera on a tablet).
Description (French)
Ce projet consiste à améliorer les performances techniques d'un prototype de bandeau, en redéfinissant les pièces mécaniques de manière à ce qu'elles puissent être fabriquées à plusieurs reprises conformément aux spécifications, et en redéfinissant les pièces électriques et mécaniques de manière à ce que la température externe du bandeau soit réduite pendant son utilisation. Le projet comprend également des travaux sur le logiciel du produit, en particulier le développement d'algorithmes qui permettent un retour d'information en temps réel sur l'activité cérébrale par le biais du logiciel sur tablette. Il comprend également des algorithmes et des éléments d'interface utilisateur permettant des jeux de rééducation basés sur la capture de mouvements (en utilisant uniquement la caméra d'une tablette).
