IEEE Engineering in medicine and biology magazine, 2008•ieeexplore.ieee.orgWe used the seal robot, Paro, for therapy of patients suffering from dementia at a cortical
neuron clinic. The efficacy of the robot therapy was evaluated by DIMENSION, which detects
patient's cortical neuron activity from a 21-channel EEG. The results from preliminary
experiments show that robot therapy has a high potential to improve the condition of brain
activity in patients suffering from dementia. It is concluded that Paro will be widely used and
provide help to people with dementia.
