The invention provides a biological photometric device characterized by a method of disposing a light source and a light detector, capable of measuring a distribution of concentrations at different depths and changes in the concentration in the case of measuring and forming an image of the concentration of metabolites in an organ and changes in the concentration. The light sources and light detectors are disposed on the subject so that, in the case of measuring a concentration of metabolites in an organ and changes in the concentration in a shallow portion in the subject by using an about midpoint position between each of the light sources and each of the light detectors as a sampling point, measurement is performed by using a sampling point of a pair of the light source and said light detector which are disposed at a small interval. In the case of measurement in a deep portion in the subject, a sampling point of a pair of the light source and the light detector which are disposed at a large interval is used.

The present invention provides an optical measurement device of biological tissue having a probe attachable to a moving part of a living body with a high curvature in biophotometry. A member having a high flexibility and a high friction coefficient is disposed on a surface for contact with the living body. In addition, a device for light irradiation and a device for collection of light are fixed with an elastic material for uniform pressure application. The resulting double structure or double layer has solved a problem.
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.

A satisfactory averaged signal can be obtained with only a small number of repetitions of measurement in the measurement of responses to a stimulus given to a living body. A low-frequency biological fluctuation is extracted and a stimulus is presented to the living body in synchronism with the phase of the extracted fluctuation.

摘要:
Disclosed is an optical measurement apparatus for a living body to provide a means for measuring blood flow activity within a short time inside the body, even if the test subject cannot distinguish between the active task period and the rest period. An optical measurement apparatus for a living body comprises a light irradiating section, and a light detecting section for detecting light transmitting through or reflected from the interior of the body. The concentration of carbon dioxide gas taken into the body is controlled by the respiration of the test subject and the resulting change in output from the light detecting section is then evaluated.
