Abstract(in English) The motor imagery of the body is frequently used for the BCI or rehabilitation. However, it is reported that the brain activation by motor imagery is lower than the brain activation by motor execution, and it is more difficult to use the motor imagery for the BCI or rehabilitation than the motor execution. This is because the subject is not given real-time sensory feedback when the motor imagery task is performed. We used the technique of biofeedback to solve this problem. Biofeedback is a technique that trains people to control bodily processes with equipments. We measured the brain activation during motor imagery with NIRS, and usually presented the measured brain activity to the subject. Finally, the brain activation by motor imagery approached that by motor execution, and we suggest that we can use the brain activation by motor imagery for the BCI or rehabilitation.
