摘要:
Provided are a more practical method for evaluating an inhibitory circuit applicable to a living body, and the use thereof. Herein the action of an inhibitory circuit on an excitatory circuit is evaluated on the basis of attenuation of the brain activity produced by activation of an excitatory circuit by the input of an inhibitory circuit by performing a step for inputting an inhibitory circuit by applying a second trigger in advance of a first trigger to an excitatory circuit activated by a first trigger which is a stimulus or challenge.

The application relates to a hearing aid comprising at least one electrode located at a surface of a housing of the hearing aid to allow said electrodes to contact the skin of a user during use of the hearing aid, at least one electrode being adapted to pick up a low voltage signal from the user's brain, the hearing aid further comprising an amplifier unit operationally connected to said electrode(s) and adapted for amplifying said low voltage signal(s) to provide amplified brain signal(s), and a signal processing unit adapted to process said amplified brain signal(s) to provide a processed brain signal as well as to apply a time and frequency dependent gain to an input audio signal and to provide a processed audio output signal. The application further relates to a method of operating a hearing aid and to its use and to a hearing aid system. The object of the present application is to provide a hearing aid capable of monitoring a user's hearing ability over time. The problem is solved in that the hearing aid further comprises a signal generator for generating an electric test signal specifically adapted to be used in an auditory evoked potential (AEP) measurement, the signal generator being operationally connected to said output transducer allowing said electric test signal to be converted to an auditory test stimulus for being presented to a user together with said processed acoustic signal during use of the hearing aid. This has the advantage of providing a hearing aid wherein at least a part of the fitting process of a hearing aid to a particular user can be automated and/or continuously updated. The invention may e.g. be used for the hearing aids or hearing aid systems where a continuous evaluation of a user's hearing thresholds is needed.

The present disclosure describes a system configured to adjust the duration of individual sensory stimuli provided to a subject. The system is configured to determine a current amount of slow wave activity in the subject, responsive to the subject being presently in slow wave sleep, control one or more sensory stimulators to provide the individual sensory stimuli to the subject, determine habituation of the subject to the individual sensory stimuli and, responsive to the slow wave activity in the subject for a period of time following the providing of the individual sensory stimuli showing habituation, adjust the duration of the individual sensory stimuli.

The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to adjust an intensity of sensory stimulation delivered to a subject during a sleep session based on sleep spindles in the subject during the sleep session. The system is configured to adjust the intensity of the stimulation based on a sleep spindle frequency and/or a sleep spindle density. The system is configured to determine a recent spindle density and/or a recent spindle frequency for a recent period of time during the sleep session based on detected sleep spindles, and to determine a previous spindle density and/or a previous spindle frequency for a previous period of time during the sleep session based on the detected sleep spindles. The system controls the intensity of sensory stimulation provided to the subject based on a comparison of the previous spindle density to the recent spindle density and/or the previous spindle frequency to the recent spindle frequency.

摘要:
A method for assessing the effectiveness of a hearing aid. Said method involves: transmitting out a stimulus via a hearing aid, thereby supplying an auditory stimulus to the auditory nervous system of a person provided with said hearing aid; receiving the neurophysiological signals emitted by said auditory nervous system in response to the auditory stimulus by means of an electro- or magneto-encephalography system; processing the received signals; sending out a stimulus consisting of at least one pair of linguistic units selected from a phonetic confusion matrix; separately receiving a neurophysiological signal in response for each linguistic unit; and comparing the signals such as to assess the effectiveness of the hearing aid.
