By wearing a headgear, patients who have suffered a stroke can manipulate their robot hands to move freely, just by thinking. The headgear has electrodes that can sense brain waves, according to vice general manager Jin Hui.
The technology is world leading as invasive brain-machine interfaces are more commonly used overseas. And Arfysica Innovation's products are the first to be put into the market in China, he said.
"We have installed more than 20 systems in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing homes in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shaanxi and other regions," he said. "Hundreds of patients have experienced it."
