Description

Body current sensation threshold values objective measurement method and system based on brain electricity analytical
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of medical instrument, relate in particular to a kind of body current sensation threshold values objective measurement method and system based on brain electricity analytical.
Background technology
Human body impression to external world is by the sensor sensation, conducts to nerve centre system-brain via nerve fiber then and finishes.The difference sensation of human body skin, for example press, vibration, hot and cold, the pain sensation etc., respectively by the impression of different sensor and by the peripheral nerve fiber conduction of different-diameter, human body is mainly conducted by the refreshing C fiber of the most very thin no myelin the impression of heating signal, the refrigeration signal of experiencing is conducted by the neural A δ of the sheath fiber that has of minimum, and vibration signal is then conducted by the bigger neural A beta of sheath that has.Clinical experiment shows, 5Hz, 250Hz, the simple alternating current electricity irritation of 2000Hz cause neural impulsion respectively by the nerve conduction of three kinds of sizes: the most very thin nonmedullated nerve C fiber, less have the neural A δ of sheath peacekeeping bigger the neural A β dimension of sheath arranged.Because these neural corresponding respectively different sensory patterns, therefore, as stimulation, can estimate the degree that is quick of perception of this several modes of human body respectively in order to the simple sinusoidal alternating current of upper frequency.
BEP is the bioelectric that the central nervous system produces in experiencing the external world or intrinsic stimuli process, and somatosensory evoked potential can be used to judge that whether the body sense stimulates by the perception of brain institute.
Chinese patent application 03109874.6 discloses a kind of body current and has felt objective quantitative system and measuring method thereof, to measure the mode that adopts experimenter and operator's double blinding, by the electric stimulator of microcomputerized control with quantitative galvanism experimenter, the experimenter is according to acousto-optic hint, with own the subjective feeling that stimulates is imported by patient's control unit, microprocessor system in the measuring system is according to experimenter's input signal, filtering algorithm according to a kind of Physiological Psychology, whether decision draws experimenter's electric current sensation threshold values or gives the intensity that stimulates next time and stimulate next time, through repeatedly stimulating, after experimenter's respective process, body current feels that objective quantitative testing system calculates the neuroelectricity sensation threshold values that demonstrates the experimenter.
But body current feels that objective quantitative system and measuring method thereof need the experimenter that subjective judgment is made in stimulation in the prior art, and this just makes to measure and have very strong subjective consciousness that cause accuracy low, testing efficiency is not high.
Summary of the invention
The invention provides a kind of test result is accurate, efficient is high body current sensation threshold values objective measurement method and system based on brain electricity analytical.
A kind of body current sensation threshold values objective measurement method of analyzing based on brain electricity (EEG) may further comprise the steps:
(1) set up algorithm for pattern recognition:
Repeatedly give the electricity irritation that one of experimenter surpasses threshold current, synchronous recording experimenter EEG signals, and superposeing obtains the incident that electricity irritation causes and brings out current potential;
Do not having under the galvanism condition record experimenter EEG signals, and superposeing and obtain average EEG signals;
With the template of the average EEG signals under electric stimulus inducing current potential and the non-stimulated condition as two class signals, algorithm for pattern recognition is set up in training;
Training is set up the algorithm for pattern recognition detailed process and is (referring to Fig. 2), and EEG signals at first generates a time series X through the low pass filter of a 3Hz; Calculate X then respectively and Euclidean distance X1 and the X2 that stimulates brain electricity template and non-stimulated brain electricity template arranged, and form the segmental characteristic vector of this EEG signals by X1 and X2; To under the electricity irritation condition and do not have each brain electricity sheet under the galvanism condition all to calculate its characteristic vector, form the training feature vector collection, then according to the different mode recognizer that is adopted (as artificial neural network, support vector machine etc.) training mode recognizer, thus effective algorithm for pattern recognition set up.
Repeatedly give the experimenter one and surpass in the electricity irritation of threshold current, described threshold current is initial general definite by experience or this area general knowledge, about general 0.3~3mA.
(2) repeatedly give experimenter's varying strength galvanism, record experimenter's EEG signals.
Described varying strength electric current, current intensity are 0~10mA, give experimenter's varying strength galvanism number of times not strict restriction here, but are 5~30 times in order to improve the general number of times of certainty of measurement.Number of times is very few to be difficult to obtain suitable certainty of measurement, can cause feeling fatigue of experimenter in the time of too much, can't improve certainty of measurement.
(3) analyze EEG signals, judge whether the experimenter feels galvanism:
The algorithm for pattern recognition that obtains with step (1) carries out pattern recognition to experimenter's EEG signals of step (2) record, experimenter's EEG signals is divided into the EEG signals under the non-stimulated condition and EEG signals under the electricity irritation condition is arranged;
If recognition result is the EEG signals that belongs under the no electricity irritation condition, think that the experimenter does not feel galvanism;
If recognition result is to belong to the EEG signals that has under the electricity irritation condition, think that then subject perception has arrived galvanism.
(4) utilize the result of step (3) to calculate experimenter's galvanism sensation threshold values.
The galvanism sensation threshold values that calculates the experimenter is to adopt the method for limits, method of constant stimulus or its deriving method to calculate.
The described method of limits is about to stimulate the mode of pressing increasing or decreasing series, changes with the small step that equates at interval, seeks from a kind of instantaneous transfer point of another kind of reaction or position of threshold value of being reacted to;
Described method of constant stimulus is promptly set several particular stimulation values, and each stimulation presents repeatedly at random, causes that according to stimulus variable threshold value is tried to achieve in the distribution of the number of times that reacts in certain.
Can calculate experimenter's galvanism and feel threshold values according to the definition of sensation threshold values or with the current intensity minima and the peaked average of current intensity of imperceptible galvanism of the current intensity maximum of the current intensity minima of the galvanism felt or imperceptible galvanism or the galvanism felt concretely.
The current intensity minima of the described galvanism of feeling be obtain in the step (3) the minima in pairing each current intensity is arranged in the EEG signals under the electricity irritation condition.
The current intensity maximum of described imperceptible galvanism is in the EEG signals under the no electricity irritation condition that obtains in the step (3), the maximum in pairing each current intensity.
