User interface in a virtual environment for haptic rehabilitation: A BCI study

A virtual interface was designed for stroke patients to relearn motor skills, using a haptic interface that could provide a neutral, repetitive engaging approach to letter writing.

The approach taken to accomplish this included: (a) Developing virtual pen and objects for user to move the pen on the objects (b) Make use of BCI data for interpretation of consciousness levels of user for experiments (c) Provide haptic feedback if user deviates from the given path.

Haptic feedback was provided to the subjects such that they can feel the surface of the objects, thus making easy for them to move the haptic device.
