[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the disclosure takes the brain three-dimensional simulation modeling module as a core link, constructs an individualized brain tissue structure and acoustic characteristic model based on fusion of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) data, provides accurate anatomical and propagation basis for downstream modules, and on this basis, the system runs the ultrasonic stimulation parameter optimization module 200, the biological feedback real-time regulation module 300 and the multi-modal stimulation effect prediction and individualized adaptation module 400 in parallel, realizes full-process intelligent modeling and individualized optimization of transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation path, parameters and reactions, and significantly improves the clinical adaptability and regulation precision of the system.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the brain three-dimensional simulation modeling module 100 is designed to construct a highly individualized and anatomically precise three-dimensional brain simulation model to provide basic data support for transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation path optimization and parameter control. The model uses high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electronic computed tomography (CT) data as input, integrates medical image processing and acoustic simulation technology, and accurately simulates the propagation behavior of ultrasound in different brain tissues and their spatial sound pressure response characteristics, such as Figure 2 As shown, the brain three-dimensional simulation modeling module 100 specifically includes: The data acquisition and preprocessing unit 101 is used to acquire magnetic resonance imaging and electronic computer tomography data and preprocess the magnetic resonance imaging and electronic computer tomography data. The preprocessing of the magnetic resonance imaging and electronic computer tomography data includes: (1) Computed tomography (CT) data acquisition and registration: CT images provide information about the thickness, density, and structural differences of the skull, which significantly affects the attenuation and scattering of ultrasound. A mutual information-based rigid registration algorithm (such as the Elastix toolkit) can be used to align CT and MRI images to the MNI standard space to ensure that the spatial coordinates of the skull and brain regions are consistent. The registration accuracy is verified by normalized mutual information (NMI>0.95) and root mean square error (RMSE<0.3mm), ultimately achieving spatial matching of bone tissue and brain tissue.
[0030] (2) Data fusion and grid processing: After fusing MRI and CT information, a tissue label map is constructed in a unified anatomical coordinate system, and a mesh model suitable for finite element simulation is generated to ensure that the acoustic parameters (sound velocity, density, attenuation coefficient) of each type of tissue can be accurately mapped.
[0031] The three-dimensional brain structure modeling and simulation unit 102 is used to construct a finite element simulation grid model containing multi-layer tissue acoustic parameters based on the preprocessed data using the finite element method, simulate the ultrasonic propagation path according to the time-domain finite difference method, and output the ultrasonic propagation path simulation results and the "brain area-acoustic response" mapping database.
[0032] Specifically, the establishment of the high-precision three-dimensional brain model based on the fusion data includes multiple layers of tissue structures: skin, skull, meninges, gray matter, white matter, and brain ventricles, etc. Each layer of structure has an independent acoustic parameter setting, reflecting its true biophysical properties. The finite element method or k-Wave toolbox and other professional simulation platforms are used to simulate the propagation path of ultrasonic waves in the brain's multi-tissue structure. The offset vector of the actual focal point relative to the design target point is extracted from the simulation results to evaluate the spatial error existing in the penetration path, providing a reference basis for subsequent compensation algorithms. Finally, the simulation results of multiple individuals under different stimulation parameters (such as power 0.1-1.0 W / cm 2 , pulse frequency 50-500Hz, incident angle 0-30°) are stored in a structured manner to build a "brain region-acoustic response" mapping database, with each record associated with brain region ID, sound pressure value, focusing error, tissue attenuation coefficient, etc. to provide data support for subsequent algorithms.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the ultrasonic stimulation parameter optimization module 200 is used to build a graph neural network model for spatio-temporal-semantic modeling of the structure and functional state of the brain stimulation region, as shown in Figure 3 , the module specifically includes: Time modeling unit 201: Wherein, the time modeling adopts a gated recurrent unit combined with a time-aware attention mechanism to dynamically capture the influence of historical states on the current stimulation response, and its calculation method is: ; Wherein, is the state encoding of node in the time dimension, is the current node, is the node adjacent to , is the timestamp formed by the edge , is the feature of the edge, is the set of edges connected to node , is the gated recurrent unit network, is the time decay weight.
[0034] ; Wherein, is the time decay coefficient, is the current time point, is the timestamp of the historical edge, is the historical information, the farther the time, the smaller the weight, represents the th historical edge in the set of historical edges of node The timestamp of the edge, For the Feature information of historical edges.

[0036] ; in, : trainable attention weight vector, : vector concatenation operation, is the activation function with leakage correction, For nodes The feature representation of For nodes The feature representation of For nodes The feature representation of For nodes The set of adjacent nodes of Representation node The first node in the adjacent node set of nodes.
[0037] Semantic Modeling Unit 203: Semantic modeling enhances the model's ability to identify node categories through semantic embedding mechanisms: ; in, is the feature vector after semantic modeling, For nodes The original eigenvector of is the embedding representation of the node type, is the semantic projection matrix, It is a vector concatenation operation.
[0038] Multimodal fusion unit 204: The hidden layer update formula of the three multimodal information in the spatiotemporal semantic graph convolutional neural network is expressed as follows: ; in, For the The nodes of the hidden layer are represented by are the transformation matrices of time, space and semantic directions respectively, is the bias term, is the activation function.
[0039] Reinforcement Learning Unit 205: The system transforms the task of optimizing stimulation parameters into a Markov decision process problem in reinforcement learning. The state space is represented by a multidimensional graph embedding output by a spatiotemporal semantic graph convolutional neural network. The action space includes adjustable combinations of parameters such as stimulation power, pulse repetition frequency, duty cycle, and focal position. The reward function comprehensively considers the effects of neural regulation (such as neural activation levels in electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)) and biosafety indicators. Policy learning uses a deep Q-network with a normalized advantage function, and introduces the Lyapunov stability criterion to ensure the robustness of the controller. Its loss function is defined by the Lyapunov function: ; in, is the Lyapunov function at time step The total amount, are stability indicators in different dimensions.
[0040] Among them, the parameter update formula of the Q network is replaced by the Lyapunov gradient descent update formula: ; in, is the current strategy parameter, is the learning rate, is the Lyapunov equilibrium coefficient, is the deviation error between the current state and the expected state, is the gradient of the error with respect to the current parameter, are the updated policy parameters.
[0041] Proximal policy optimization is used to make policy updates smoother during intensive training. Under the framework of partially observable Markov games, the intelligent agent updates its strategy through environmental interaction sampling, effectively balancing the matching degree between stimulus intensity and neural responses in the target area.
[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the biofeedback real-time control module 300 is used to continuously collect and analyze brain physiological signals, dynamically optimize the parameter settings of transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation, use artificial intelligence models to judge the neural response state, and continuously self-correct during the stimulation process to achieve an individualized, precise, and dynamic neural control strategy. Figure 4 As shown, this module specifically includes: The real-time physiological signal acquisition and preprocessing unit 301 is used to acquire original physiological signals in real time and preprocess the acquired original physiological signals. The physiological signals used in this part include: Electroencephalogram (EEG): EEG can reflect the synchronous discharge behavior of neuronal groups with high temporal resolution and is a direct indicator of the brain's electrical activity state; Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS): By measuring changes in the concentrations of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, fNIRS can reflect the metabolic activity and hemodynamic response of local brain regions and is suitable for evaluating the response of cortical regions to stimulation.
[0043] Heart rate variability, galvanic skin response, eye movements, etc. can serve as supplementary basis for judging neural status, helping to comprehensively evaluate the subject's arousal, emotional state and stimulus acceptance.
[0044] A neural state recognition and deviation assessment model building unit 302 is configured to use a deep learning algorithm to build a neural state recognition and deviation assessment model, input the preprocessed real-time physiological signal into the model for signal feature extraction and analysis, and output a classification judgment of the current neural response state (e.g., "underactivation," "overactivation," or "normal response"); The deviation judgment and parameter adjustment unit 303 is used to compare the classification judgment with the preset target state, calculate the response error, and make real-time adjustments based on the error using a preset multi-level adjustment strategy. The preset multi-level adjustment strategy specifically includes: Level 1 adjustment (mild deviation): fine-tune the pulse repetition frequency (±10Hz) or duty cycle (±5%); Secondary adjustment (moderate deviation): switch stimulation mode, including: sound power: adjust stimulation energy; pulse repetition frequency: control stimulation rhythm; stimulation duration: determine the duration of a single stimulation; focal point position: dynamically fine-tune the stimulation target position; incident angle: optimize the sound beam path to avoid bone impedance, etc.
[0045] Level 3 adjustment (severe deviation): Pause stimulation and prompt a safety alarm, which requires manual confirmation before restarting.
[0046] If EEG alpha waves drop significantly, potentially indicating brain overexcitation, the system will reduce power and shorten stimulation duration to prevent neural overactivation. If fNIRS detects local blood oxygen levels falling short of expectations, it will automatically increase the pulse repetition frequency or adjust the target area. The control model continuously operates in a closed loop of "perception-judgment-control-verification," continuously narrowing the gap between expected stimulation effects and actual responses, thereby enhancing the system's robustness and individual adaptability.
[0047] The real-time calibration and feedback loop unit 304 is used to continuously collect physiological signals and repeat the above-mentioned neural state identification, deviation assessment and parameter adjustment process to form a real-time closed-loop feedback control mechanism.
[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the multimodal stimulation effect prediction and personalized adaptation module 400 is used to build a stimulation effect prediction model through multimodal data fusion to achieve high reliability and personalized adaptation of the stimulation scheme, such as Figure 5 As shown, this module specifically includes: Multi-strategy fusion framework construction unit 401: This preprocesses input data using a multimodal encoder, mapping continuous time series signals and structured text information to a unified latent dimension. After adding a learnable positional encoding, it then extracts sequence fragments using a sliding window mechanism. These are then fed separately or jointly into a standard Transformer encoding module to form a multimodal feature representation.
[0049] For multimodal information fusion, this system introduces a multi-strategy fusion framework, including early fusion, late fusion and deep late fusion: Early fusion: After the transformed multimodal data is spliced, it is uniformly input into the Transformer module for processing; Late fusion: Each modality is encoded by an independent Transformer, and then concatenated after feature extraction; Deep Late Fusion: Based on late fusion, an additional Transformer layer is introduced to further deeply encode the splicing features.
[0050] The outputs of each fusion strategy will be spliced along the sequence dimension and compressed by the bottleneck layer and filtered by the gating mechanism before being input into the alarm decoder to predict whether the stimulus effect is abnormal and locate its cause label.

Suppose there are three belief functions for speech, image, and text 、 and , then the joint distribution after fusion is: ; ; ; in, After fusion, it belongs to The trustworthiness of the class, They are the first, second and third modes respectively. The trustworthiness of the class, are the uncertainties of the first, second and third modes respectively, c is the conflict between the three belief functions, 1-c is the normalization factor of the conflict, and u is the overall uncertainty after fusion.
