光トポグラフィによる歩行動作の評価(「BMI/BCI時代の心理学とVR」特集)

抄録

This paper describes an evaluation of inner effect of walking. By using a near infrared spectroscopy, activity of human brain can be measured while walking. In this study, two interfaces, a treadmill and a footpad-type locomotion interface were used as test beds. 15 subjects conducted some 1-minute gait trainings and their primary motor area, premotor cortex, and supplementary motor area were measured while these trainings. As a result, some different and common points between walking on these interfaces were found.
