NeuroCONCISE Ltd, is an Ulster University spinout company. Our mission is "to provide affordable, high quality neurotechnology and related services for rehabilitation and movement-free diagnostics, communication, control and entertainment".We have a solution that can revolutionize the way consciousness/awareness can be assessed following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and basic communication channels can be realized, even when a person is unable to speak or move. Developed over 15 years and underpinned by award-winning research, NeuroCONCISE's platform neurotechnology (wearable) product, comprises; unobtrusive, concealable electronics on a flexible substrate for recording brain signals using electroencephalography (EEG) with high precision; advanced algorithms that translate brain activity into accurate control signals; clinical assessment/diagnostic augmentation software; and a basic communication and neurotechnology training system. The technology centres around our ability to interact with technology by imagining movement and modulating brain activity to control a brain-computer interface (BCI) i.e., neurotechnology. NeuroCONCISE was founded in 2016, is currently Innovate UK funded, has partnerships with 17 brain injury units (including 13 NHS/HSC trusts) across the UK and Ireland to trial the technology and has ethical approval in Ireland and the UK to conduct trials with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDoC) patients. Plans are in place to develop research undertaken at Ulster University to provide stroke rehabilitation technology for a larger and growing market need.NeuroCONCISE's platform neurotechnology can also offer video game control using either motor imagery which involves the imagination of limb movements to evoke frequency-specific neural potentials or visual evoked potentials (VEPs), which are stimuli presented on-screen that are flashed or moved at specific time periods to evoke time-locked neural potentials. The heavily established gaming market can benefit from movement independent game control using EEG and also be used to augment traditional game controllers to provide the player with a more immersive and personal gaming experience.This project will enable NeuroCONCISE to develop dry EEG electrode technology that works alongside our electronic EEG processing hardware to produce the most innovative, unobtrusive, flexible, portable, user-friendly and quality EEG device for the clinical, research and consumer markets.

NeuroCONCISE Ltd 是阿尔斯特大学的衍生公司。我们的使命是“为康复和免运动诊断、通信、控制和娱乐提供负担得起的、高质量的神经技术和相关服务”。我们的解决方案可以彻底改变创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 后意识/意识的评估方式）并且即使一个人无法说话或移动，也可以实现基本的沟通渠道。 NeuroCONCISE 的平台神经技术（可穿戴）产品经过 15 年的开发，并以屡获殊荣的研究为基础，包括：柔性基板上的不显眼、可隐藏的电子设备，用于使用脑电图 (EEG) 高精度记录大脑信号；先进的算法将大脑活动转化为精确的控制信号；临床评估/诊断增强软件；以及基本的沟通和神经技术培训系统。该技术以我们通过想象运动和调节大脑活动来控制脑机接口（BCI）（即神经技术）与技术交互的能力为中心。 NeuroCONCISE 成立于 2016 年，目前由 Innovate UK 资助，与英国和爱尔兰的 17 个脑损伤单位（包括 13 个 NHS/HSC 信托机构）建立了合作伙伴关系来试验该技术，并获得了爱尔兰和英国的伦理批准，可以进行长期试验。意识障碍（PDoC）患者。阿尔斯特大学已制定计划开展研究，为更大且不断增长的市场需求提供中风康复技术。NeuroCONCISE 的平台神经技术还可以使用运动想象来提供视频游戏控制，其中涉及肢体运动的想象力，以唤起频率特定的神经元。电位或视觉诱发电位（VEP），它们是屏幕上呈现的刺激，在特定时间段闪烁或移动以唤起时间锁定的神经电位。成熟的游戏市场可以受益于使用脑电图的运动独立游戏控制，也可以用于增强传统游戏控制器，为玩家提供更加身临其境和个性化的游戏体验。该项目将使 NeuroCONCISE 能够开发与脑电图协同工作的干脑电图电极技术我们的电子脑电图处理硬件致力于为临床、研究和消费市场生产最具创新性、低调、灵活、便携、用户友好且优质的脑电图设备。
