The Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Machine Symbiosis Haihe Laboratory has announced the successful deployment in Tianjin of “Shengong-Huatuo,” China’s inaugural brain-controlled acupuncture-integrated neural rehabilitation equipment platform. Under the leadership of Zhou Peng’s Smart Traditional Chinese Medicine Team at the Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Machine Symbiosis Haihe Laboratory, this platform was developed in collaboration with several key institutions, including the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Tianjin Binhai New Area Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Tianjin Zhongyimai Company. Leveraging the principles of neuroplasticity, the team has ingeniously merged “brain-computer interface” technology with “smart wearable acupuncture” techniques. Prior to this, the relevant research had garnered support from major science and technology initiatives in Tianjin, key open projects at the National Clinical Research Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and national manned spaceflight experimental endeavors. Furthermore, the “Portable Transcutaneous Acupoint Electrical Stimulation Device (Space Acupuncture),” co-developed by teams from Tianjin University and Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been subjected to space-based experiments aboard the Shenzhou series of manned spacecraft.
