Motion Informatics

Stimel-03 is the first device that integrates the patient within the rehab process, combining advanced algorithms and electro-biology technologies to rehabilitate the damaged brain. The device’s electrodes are attached to the affected area (hand, foot, etc.), where their sensors read very weak electrical signals from the nerves. These signals are then amplified, with “background noise” removed, and analyzed to identify the patient’s unique neurological signature. This permits the signals to be returned as an electro-physiological pulse that causes the brain to interpret the action as natural. It is often said that the brain is plastic. This plasticity is what makes it possible to recover apparently “lost” abilities, as the brain compensates for damage by building new pathways that bypass the affected area. For example, if someone loses her sight, the parts of her brain previously allocated to vision become rerouted to enhance the senses of hearing and touch. Another factor is the existence of mirror neurons. This is a type of neuron that enables us to mimic (or “mirror”) behavior that we observe. Just think of a newborn baby who is easily able to imitate his mother’s smile. So long as we see a movement similar to the natural movement, mirror neurons can adapt themselves to the new movements on a permanent basis, enabling the recovery of motor functions.
