Abstract

A training device aims to indicate a targeted object to be gazed at by a trainee, then trainee'"'"'s visual sight to the targeted object is obstructed. After a selected duration a hint is given to the trainee to execute command actions related to the targeted object. Through completeness degree of trainee'"'"'s execution of the command actions trainee'"'"'s stillness can be evaluated and trained. During measuring electrophysiological signals such as brainwaves, trainee'"'"'s feedback command actions can serve as a basis for measurement of electrophysiological signals.

Claims

1. An apparatus for dynamic detection of electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback, comprising:

a training device which includes a response zone on an upper surface to indicate at least one targeted object and a waiting zone surrounding the response zone; and

an electrophysiological signal detection device which received electrophysiological signals of a trainee and sent the electrophysiological signals to the training device.

2. The apparatus for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 1, wherein the training device further includes pictures of the targeted object beneath the response zone.

3. The apparatus for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 1, wherein the response zone is a touch screen.

4. A method for dynamic detection of electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback, comprising the steps of:

step 1;

providing a targeted object to be gazed at by a trainee;

step 2;

obstructing trainee'"'"'s visual sight to the targeted object; and

step 3;

making a response by the trainee by executing a command action related to the targeted object.

5. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 4, wherein the step 1 is preceded by another step of installing an electrophysiological signal detection device.

6. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 4, wherein a first hint is provided before obstructing trainee'"'"'s visual sight to the targeted object.

7. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 6, wherein the first hint is selected from the group consisting of an audition hint, a visual hint and a tactile hint.

8. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 4, wherein a second hint is provided before making a response by the trainee.

9. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 8, wherein the second hint is selected from the group consisting of an audition hint, a visual hint and a tactile hint.

10. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 4, wherein executing the command action is moving trainee'"'"'s limbs to point out the location of the targeted object in the response zone.

11. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 10, wherein the limb is trainee'"'"'s fingers.

12. The method for dynamic detection of the electrophysiological signals for stillness feedback according to claim 4, wherein executing the command action is using a stylus to point out the location of the targeted object in the response zone.
