    摘要: A method and apparatus for hemodynamically characterizing a neurological or fitness state by dynamic scattering light (DLS) is disclosed herein. In particular, a non-pulsatile blood-shear-rate-descriptive (BSRD) signal(s) is optically generated and analyzed. In some embodiments, the BSRD signal is generated dynamically so as to adaptively maximize (i.e. according to a bandpass or frequency-selection profile) a prominence of a predetermined non-pulsatile physiological signal within the BSRD. In some embodiments, the BSRD is subjected to a stochastic or stationary-status analysis. Alternatively or additionally, the neurological or fitness state may be computed from multiple BSRDs, including two or more of: (i) a [sub −200 Hz, ˜300 Hz] BSRD signal; (ii) a [˜300 Hz, ˜1000 Hz] signal; (iii) a [˜1000 Hz, ˜4000 Hz] signal and (iv) a [˜4000 Hz, z Hz] (z>=7,000) signal.

    摘要: Methods and systems of optically measuring systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure of a mammal having biological tissue are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the system comprises an optical blood motion sensor, a gas-sealable inflatable cushion having a flexible and transparent (FOT) barrier section, and an optical blood motion sensor comprising a laser. When pressure (e.g. at least systolic pressure) illuminates the tissue, laser light may pass en route to the tissue through the FOT sealing barrier section of the gas-sealable inflatable cushion as well as cushion interior. In some embodiments, a rigid restrictor comprising an optically transparent section is provided, and laser light also passes through the optically transparent section of the rigid restrictor en route to the biological tissue.
