    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) for determining and/or assessing depression severity of a patient. The apparatus comprising: an input unit (20); an image display unit (30); at least one sensor (40); and a processing unit (50). The image display unit is configured to present a plurality of images to a patient and the plurality of images are of different human facial expressions. The at least one sensor is configured to acquire information relating to the patient's viewing of the plurality of images. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with the information relating to the patient's viewing of the plurality of images. The input unit is configured to provide the processing unit with MRI scan image data of the patient. The MRI scan image data of the patient comprises MRI scan image data of at least one part of the patient's brain associated with recognition of facial expressions and/or associated with affective disorders. The processing unit is configured to determine and/or assess depression severity of the patient comprising utilization of the information relating to the patient's viewing of the plurality of images and the MRI scan image data of at least one part of the patient's brain associated with recognition of facial expressions

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a medical instrument (100, 300) comprising an activity measurement system (110, 301, 302) configured for measuring brain activity data (136) from a subject (102), a memory (120) storing machine executable instructions (130) and storing a simulation model (132), wherein the simulation model is configured to generating simulation data (134), wherein the simulation model is configured for modifying the simulation data using a model parameter (140), a virtual reality system (106, 106', 106", 106"', 106"") configured for rendering the simulation data; and a computational system (114) for controlling the medical instrument. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the computational system to set (200) the model parameter to an initial value (142). Execution of the machine executable instructions further causes the computational system to repeatedly: generate (202) the simulation data using the simulation model; render (204) the simulation data using the virtual reality system; measure (206) the brain activity data using the activity measurement system; calculate (208) a neural activity metric (138) descriptive of neural activity of the subject from the brain activity data; increase (210) the model parameter to adjust the simulation model if the neural activity metric is below a first predetermined value (144); and decrease (212) the model parameter to adjust the simulation model if the neural activity metric is above a second predetermined value (146).
