The present invention relates to a virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback system and method for brain activation of stroke patients, and more particularly, to a virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback system for brain activation of stroke patients, a display providing an avatar of an immersive virtual reality first-person view; a mirror therapy device for performing mirror treatment by applying the stroke patient's movement for activating the motor area on the damaged cerebral side of the stroke patient to the first-person view avatar of the display; an EEG measuring device that is worn on the head of a stroke patient and measures EEG in an exercise area according to the performance of the mirror treatment device; And it is characterized in that it comprises a neurofeedback device for measuring a specific parameter related to the movement of the stroke patient measured by the EEG measuring device, and providing the stroke patient with the activation degree of the cerebral motor area. In addition, the virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback method for brain activation of stroke patients according to the characteristics of the present invention is a virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback method for brain activation of stroke patients, (1) the display is provided to the stroke patient. providing a corresponding immersive virtual reality first-person view avatar; (2) performing mirror treatment by applying, by the mirror therapy device, the movement of the stroke patient to activate the motor area of the damaged cerebral side of the stroke patient to the avatar of the first-person view of the display; (3) the EEG measuring device is worn on the head of the stroke patient, measuring the EEG of the movement area according to the performance of the mirror therapy device; and (4) a neurofeedback device measuring a specific parameter related to the movement of a stroke patient measured from the EEG measurement device, and providing the stroke patient with a degree of activation of a cerebral motor area. do. According to the virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback system and method for brain activation of stroke patients proposed in the present invention, a display that provides an immersive virtual reality first-person view avatar corresponding to a stroke patient, and the damaged brain of a stroke patient A mirror therapy device that performs mirror therapy by applying the motion of a stroke patient to activate a motor region on the cerebral side to an avatar of a first-person view of the display, and EEG measurement that measures EEG of the motor region according to the performance of the mirror therapy device Simple movement of the existing mirror therapy by configuring the device and a neurofeedback device that measures specific parameters related to movement of a stroke patient measured from the EEG measurement device and provides a degree of activation of the cerebral motor area to the stroke patient It is possible to overcome the limitation of having to repeat the procedure, and provide an environment in which the stroke patient, who is the subject, can observe the activation of their cerebral motor area and become more immersed in the treatment. In addition, according to the virtual reality mirror therapy-based neurofeedback system and method for brain activation of stroke patients of the present invention, immersive virtual reality is used as a method of activating the motor area on the damaged cerebral side to improve the motor ability of stroke patients. By using mirror therapy and feedback on the degree of movement-related brain activation that occurs in the motor area of the cerebrum, the stroke patient undergoes rehabilitation while viewing only the motion image of the avatar from the first-person view of the immersive virtual reality provided through the display. It is possible to further maximize the effect of mirror therapy and to shorten the time required for rehabilitation treatment of stroke patients by performing rehabilitation treatment in a state with improved immersion.
