[0036] Regarding the non-auditory detection signals of the human body, the neural electrical activity signals obtained by non-auditory objective detection are input into the input signal preprocessing unit through the brain-computer interface for signal typing and conversion analysis. The non-auditory detection signals of the human body include but are not limited to detection signals that characterize the electrophysiological activity of each brain functional area, the interaction of multiple brain functional areas, the dynamic changes of EEG signals, the changes or differences in neural network properties and energy, etc. The non-auditory detection of the human body includes but is not limited to EEG signal detection and EEG-based event-related evoked potential ERP detection.

[0037] A method for formulating an acoustic stimulation nerve regulation treatment plan, the steps of which include:

[0038] (1) For each chronic disease characteristic of neurological dysfunction, reflecting the interaction between the physiological and psychological parts of the disease, whether it is a human auditory psychoacoustic detection signal or a human non-auditory neural biofeedback signal, the auditory and / or non-auditory detection fluctuation signals expressed in different physical quantities are subjected to signal typing and conversion analysis respectively, so as to decompose the signal into multiple signal components suitable for signal modulation processing and extract the signal characteristic parameters.

[0039] (1.1) The steps of typing and conversion analysis of human auditory and / or non-auditory detection signals include:

[0040] (1.1.1) Select the waveform of the auditory detection signal and the waveform of the non-auditory detection signal.

[0041] (1.1.2) Through mathematical transformation and analysis of signal waves, obtain relevant fluctuation signals containing parameters such as amplitude and frequency, which reflect different physical quantities of brain region electrophysiological activity and multi-brain region interaction. Mathematical transformation and analysis of signal waves include but are not limited to fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of the signal in the time domain and frequency domain, wavelet transform (WT) time-frequency analysis, power spectrum density analysis of EEG signals, and neural network attribute analysis.

[0042] (1.1.3) Decompose the multimodal composite electrophysiological activity signal with multiple frequency points or multiple peak-valley segments into multiple simple signal components in different frequency bands or with different characteristics. Different signal components correspond to multiple signal processing or algorithm channels. Analyze the neurological dysfunction electrical activity signal components in each signal channel and extract signal characteristic parameters. The signal characteristic parameters include but are not limited to the signal waveform, amplitude A corresponding to each channel. m , frequency f m .

[0043] (1.1.4) In the analysis of the input signals reflecting various neural activities, further perform typing analysis on the complex waveforms that express the dynamic changes of neural physiological activities and cognitive psychological activities separately and in combination with each other, so as to further adjust and optimize the characteristic parameters of the signal components in step (1.1.3). Further typing analysis includes but is not limited to waveform mutation analysis, signal curve mutation tangent point analysis, and specificity division analysis.

[0044] (2) Inputting the signal components and signal characteristic parameters into corresponding multiple single signal processing channels, using a multi-channel multi-modal acoustic modulation signal processing algorithm, and performing acoustic signal modulation processing on each signal processing channel at the same time. The multi-channel multi-modal acoustic modulation signal processing algorithm includes but is not limited to signal modulation algorithms of amplitude modulation SAM, frequency modulation SFM, and amplitude modulation and frequency modulation hybrid SAFM using trigonometric functions.

[0045] During implementation, according to the multi-channel multi-modal neural dysfunction electrical signal characteristic parameters in step (1.1.4) (including but not limited to the signal waveform and amplitude A corresponding to each channel), m , frequency f m ), combined with the neurological dysfunction classification analysis in step (1.1.3), the corresponding multi-channel multi-modal acoustic modulation signal is obtained through the multi-channel multi-modal acoustic modulation signal processing algorithm.

[0046] Perform signal modulation processing on the signal components of each signal channel separately:

[0047] (2.1) First, select the modulation wave trigonometric function and set the carrier trigonometric function; the parameters of the modulation wave trigonometric function are derived from the characteristic parameter values ​​reflecting the neural electrical activity signal components in each channel, including but not limited to the main frequency point or sub-frequency band frequency value f m And the hearing threshold amplitude change value A set not to exceed 20dB m , according to the preset amplitude modulation coefficient (less than 1) and frequency modulation coefficient range (0.1% - 10%) based on the modulation wave ratio, the amplitude value A of the carrier trigonometric function is obtained. c and frequency value f c ; Signal trigonometric function modulation includes but is not limited to sinusoidal wave amplitude modulation SAM, sinusoidal wave frequency modulation SFM, and sinusoidal wave amplitude-frequency mixed modulation SAFM.

[0048] An implementation example, Sinusoidal Amplitude Modulation (SAM) includes:

[0049] The signal characteristic parameters are obtained from the neural detection signal processing and used as the amplitude A of the input signal to be modulated. m and frequency f m .

[0050] Set carrier signal D (t) Mathematical expression of sine wave:

[0051] D (t) = A c *sin(2πf c t).

[0052] In the formula, A c is the carrier amplitude, f c is the carrier frequency and t is the time.

[0053] A c = m*A m , m is the amplitude modulation coefficient, 0≤m≤1, f c According to the modulation requirements or according to f m It is set as a certain percentage (for example: 0.1% - 10%).

[0054] Modulation amplitude A (t) Mathematical expression of a sine wave varying with time:

[0055] A (t) = [1 + m*sin(2πf m t)]

[0056] In the formula, f m is the modulation frequency.

[0057] Therefore, the mathematical expression of the sine wave after signal amplitude modulation is:

[0058] D (t) = (A c *A (t) )*sin(2πf c t)

[0059] = A c *[1 + m*sin(2πf m t)]*sin(2πf c t)

[0060] In the formula, only time t is a trigonometric variable.

[0061] Different from the prior art, in this application, the clinical diagnostic information is combined with the characteristic parameters A of the neural signal components obtained by clinical auditory and / or non-auditory brain activity detection signal typing and conversion analysis and signal decomposition. m and f m As input, the carrier function parameter A c and f c The setting method first performs simple signal modulation in each channel, and then outputs and synthesizes the signal to obtain a synthetic acoustic modulation signal that reflects complex brain activity signals. The signal is input into the ear canal and converted into a stimulating electrical signal through the cochlea, and enters the brain center through the auditory pathway to electrically stimulate the cranial nervous system for neurological regulation, making it possible to perform precise neurological regulation treatment for various intractable neurological dysfunction diseases.

[0062] (2.2) Output unilateral or bilateral modulated acoustic signals for each channel to synthesize multi-channel multi-modal acoustic stimulation schemes.

[0063] (3) The modulated acoustic signals output by each channel are superimposed and / or compounded, and combined with diagnostic information, the signal synthesis and signal modulation parameters are further optimized to develop personalized acoustic stimulation treatment plans for different types of chronic diseases of neurological dysfunction. Diagnostic information includes but is not limited to hearing threshold information, sleep information, anxiety information, actual depression status information, and various clinical subjective scale assessment information reflecting mental psychology.

[0064] (3.1) The modulated acoustic signals output by each channel are simply superimposed and / or compounded, or the modulated acoustic signals output by each channel are superimposed and / or compounded according to the pre-set contribution weights of each channel to form a multi-channel multi-modal composite modulated acoustic signal.

[0065] (3.2) Through the analysis of neural electrical activity signal typing and combined with clinical diagnosis information, the multi-channel multi-modal composite modulated sound signal corresponding to each ear side is further superimposed with background sound and signal waveform regulation, and superimposed with the hearing threshold of the corresponding main frequency point detected in step (1), so as to obtain a personalized single-ear and / or double-ear multi-channel multi-modal acoustic stimulation non-invasive neural regulation precision treatment plan. Among them, the signal waveform regulation includes but is not limited to triangle wave regulation, rectangular wave regulation, pulse wave regulation, sawtooth wave regulation, trough extension regulation, change cycle regulation, and waveform notch regulation.

[0066] (4) The personalized acoustic stimulation treatment plan is input into the ear canal (auditory nerve channel) on the corresponding ear side through the earphone, and converted into an electrical stimulation signal by the cochlea, which stimulates the nervous system with adjustable and controllable parameters, promotes the nervous system to return to normal state, and simultaneously conducts "physiological + psychological" comprehensive physical intervention non-invasive neuro-regulatory acoustic stimulation treatment for different types of intractable chronic diseases of neurological dysfunction, realizing the full cycle management of multi-course treatment and rehabilitation of chronic diseases of neurology.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the solid-line box is the objective auditory physiological pathway, and the dotted-line box is the subjective cognitive psychological pathway. When patients with various neurological dysfunctions are treated with "physiological + psychological" comprehensive physical intervention non-invasive neuroregulatory treatment, the personalized acoustic stimulation treatment plan with neuroregulatory function is played through headphones, which is converted into electrical stimulation signals through the cochlea, and enters the central nervous thalamus and hippocampus along the auditory nerve pathway for further signal classification and processing; then it is transmitted to the corresponding cerebral cortex according to the classification of human brain electrical signals, and the electrical stimulation signals activate a large number of neurons passing through the nervous system, and the neurons generate electrical excitement to further amplify the electrical stimulation signals and promote transmission; after multiple courses of acoustic stimulation, that is, conversion to electrical stimulation treatment, the normal discharge function of neurons is gradually restored, the chaotic signals in the nervous system are desynchronized, and the nervous system is reshaped, thereby reducing or removing the perception of neurological dysfunction and gradually restoring the healthy state of nervous system function.

[0068] In order to achieve the effect of acoustic stimulation regulating the nervous system and neurons in different brain functional areas, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the energy required for each stimulation, the rate of change of amplitude modulation and / or frequency modulation, and the duration of stimulation, and form different neuroregulatory treatment plans in order to achieve the purpose of treating different chronic diseases of neurological dysfunction.

[0069] When implementing the full-cycle management of multi-course treatment and rehabilitation for various chronic diseases of neurological dysfunction, the neurological dysfunction test of step (1) can be performed according to the changes in the patient's condition and / or regularly to evaluate the treatment effect and changes in the condition, and the iterative cycle process of steps (1) to (4) can be repeated in a timely manner, starting with the initial test and analysis that may not accurately reflect the actual condition of the patient, and gradually adjusting and optimizing the relevant parameters of the corresponding acoustic stimulation treatment plan. The parameters include but are not limited to the amplitude and frequency of the modulation signal, the contribution weights of the relevant channels or frequency bands in the superposition synthesis of multi-channel signals, the daily treatment frequency and multiple courses of treatment. The diagnosis and treatment plan is adjusted, updated and optimized regularly to improve the efficacy until the patient feels that the condition has improved and / or the electrophysiological signal detection reflects significant changes, thereby improving patient satisfaction.

Based on the characteristics of electrical signals that are easy to transmit over the network, it can be further upgraded and expanded to the fields of digital medicine and cloud services, covering more regions and people, patients, doctors and experts at all levels. In addition, steps (1)-(4) can be used as a general neuromodulation technology approach and method, and applied to physical examinations, efficacy evaluation and health management of a variety of chronic diseases of neurological dysfunction.
