The invention provides optical technique for measuring metabolism in a living body that can further reduce an error in measurement even if distance between irradiation and detection is fixed. The living body is classified into measurement regions and different measuring wavelengths are set according to the classification. For example, the head is classified into four regions of a parietal region, a frontal region, a temporal region and an occipital region and a wavelength according to each tissue is set in a wavelength selecting system. In measurement, wavelengths according to each measurement region are selected by multiple wavelengths-light radiating means. Besides, for a region having large personal difference, premeasurement is made using plural combinations of wavelengths and wavelengths are selected using a calculated error in measurement as a criterion.

To control information obtained from inside of a living body with higher precision as compared to that in the conventional technology by controlling a ratio of intensities of light, directed to a trial body, in a plurality of wavelength ranges different in peak wavelength from each other, a measurement error included in information obtained from the living body can be controlled by changing a ratio of intensity of the light in the first wavelength range against that of the light in the second wavelength range. When intensity of irradiated light is limited from the viewpoint of safety to the trial subject, keeping a ratio of the light irradiated to the trial body in the first wavelength range against that of the light in the second wavelength range under a prespecified value and also changing the ratio of irradiated light intensities under the prespecified value.

The efficiency of separating normal control subjects from non-normal control subjects and separating disorders from one another is improved. Plural classification models having a stratified structure are used, and areas from which measurement data used in the plural classification models are acquired differ among the classification models.

In a probe positioning technology, an optical bioinstrumentation includes a region selecting unit that is used to delineate a region of interest in an anatomical image of a subject, a computing unit that determines a recommended probe position according to the region of interest, a probe position sensor that detects a current probe position, a computing unit that calculates the distance between the recommended probe position and the current probe position, and an alarm device that generates an alarm sound or the like when the distance falls within a predetermined range. Moreover, the optical bioinstrumentation for living body further includes a memory unit in which the probe position is saved together with measurement data.
摘要:
A response period is determined arbitrarily. A satisfactory detecting ability may not be provided because of an artifact or the like contained in a signal. Therefore, an effective detection method and an effective display method of presenting results of detection must be developed. A series of tasks (stimuli) or a selected measurement signal is used as a reference signal, and a phase difference of any other measurement signal from the reference signal is calculated. The synchronousness of the phase of the measurement signal with the phase of the reference signal is numerically expressed. The thus obtained numerical value is statistically processed in order to numerically express a degree of reliability. Thus, a brain activity or a functional connectivity is visualized.

Provided is a biological state assessment device for assessing biological state, such as mood or emotions, using non-invasive biophotonic measurement technology. The present invention includes a light irradiation unit (1041), a light-receiving unit (1061), and an inputting means (112). A subject (800) is presented with a plurality of different problems (first problem, second problem), and a biological signal in the interior of the subject is calculated from the intensity of light received by the light-receiving unit (1061). Subjective information about the subject is accepted by the inputting means (112). The difference is calculated between the subjective information and the relative value of the biological signal of the measurement point for the first problem and the biological signal of the measurement point for the second problem, and the result is displayed.

Measurement of blood flow rate in a convenient manner has been enabled by using a simple device constitution and a simple signal processing technique. A measurement mechanism having both the function of measuring temperature of the measurement site and the function of applying a thermal load to the measurement site is used, and a process of extracting temperature change associated with the recovery of the surface temperature by the blood flow is conducted from the measurement results obtained by the measurement mechanism.

A cerebral function measuring apparatus houses a light detector in a package that can be set on the head of the subject examinee with light detection elements, amplifiers, and high voltage power supplies sealed in the package. Each amplifier and each high voltage power supply are united into one and covered with a high polymer material with high dielectric strength, and further enclosed by a metallic shield so as to be insulated. The high voltage power supply consists of a very small coil and an integrated circuit to generate a voltage required to drive the light detection element in the package. A removable and safe module type light detector is thus realized.
