Abstract

Disclosed are a simulator and a simulation system for brain training. The brain training simulator comprises: a communication unit for sending training content to a training apparatus so that the content is displayed on the training apparatus; an input unit for acquiring brain signals of a user on the basis of a non-invasive brain activation measurement method; and a control unit for determining the intention of the user on the basis of the acquired brain signal data and preset intention data. The control unit determines, as the intention of the user, the preset intention data matched with the brain signal data, controls an operation of the training apparatus on the basis of the determined intention of the user, controls the playback of the training content so as to correspond to the operation of the training apparatus, and provides the user with feedback for inducing brain activation.
