To build a robot that can care for bedridden disabled people, who cannot express their intentions in language or letters, we have developed Fuzzy_BCI. The Fuzzy_BCI system uses a minimally invasive brain measurement device that does not restrain the body or head, meanwhile, it can recognize vague intentions such as "I want to drink cold water" or "Lower the temperature setting of the air conditioner because it is hot". Specifically, the somatosensory cortex and somatosensory joint cortex were measured considering physiologically vague concepts (e.g., “hot”, “warm”, and “painful”). Also, a relationship was found between room temperature changes and hemoglobin concentration changes. In addition, regarding the relationship between local temperature sensation and heart movement, useful results were obtained by comparing measurement results of frontal lobe near the primary motor cortex and somatosensory cortex with the results of the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS2) test.
