Abstract
A bioelectrical signal controlled exercise machine system for allowing an exerciser to control the state of an exercise machine and exercise environment. The bioelectrical signal controlled exercise machine system generally includes an exercise machine, a bioelectrical sensor device and a control unit in communication with the bioelectrical sensor device and the exercise machine. The control unit is adapted to receive data from the bioelectrical sensor device relating to measured bioelectrical signals of the human exerciser, and wherein the control unit transmits a control signal to the exercise machine to change the state of the exercise machine based on the data from the bioelectrical sensor device.
Claims15
A bioelectrical signal controlled exercise machine system, comprising:
- an exercise machine comprising a base and a movable part;
- at least one actuator connected between the base and the movable part of the exercise machine, wherein the at least one actuator is configured to change an attitude of the movable part;
- an electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, wherein the electroencephalography (EEG) sensor is configured to record brain waves generated by a brain of a human exerciser, wherein the brain waves measured by the (EEG) sensor are comprised of an alpha wave and a beta wave, and wherein the electroencephalography (EEG) sensor is configured to transmit an EEG signal comprising an alpha wave amplitude and a beta wave amplitude;
- and
- a control unit in communication with the electroencephalography (EEG) sensor and the exercise machine, wherein the control unit is configured to receive the EEG signal from the electroencephalography (EEG) sensor, wherein the control unit determines a control signal based on the alpha wave amplitude relative to the beta wave amplitude and vice versa, and wherein the control unit controls the at least one actuator of the exercise machine to change the attitude of the movable part of the exercise machine based on the control signal when the alpha wave amplitude is greater or less than the beta wave amplitude and vice versa.
