[0054] The following describes a specific embodiment of a visual enhancement method based on a flexible electrode probe of the present application. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a visual enhancement method based on a flexible electrode probe provided in an embodiment of the present application. This specification provides method operation steps as shown in the embodiment or flowchart, but more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiment is only one of many execution orders and does not represent the only execution order. In actual execution, the method sequence shown in the embodiment or the drawings may be executed or executed in parallel (for example, in a parallel processor or multi-threaded processing environment). Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0055] S201: Obtain information to be displayed.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the processor can obtain information to be displayed, and the information to be displayed can be triggered by the user based on the display interface of the processor, or can be input based on an input device adapted to the processor. In an optional implementation, the information to be displayed can be numbers, letters, text, or other information, which is not specifically limited in this specification.

[0057] In an optional implementation, the information to be displayed obtained by the processor may be the letter “A”.

[0058] S203: Based on the information to be displayed, determine a set of candidate positions from the area to be stimulated; a flexible electrode probe is implanted in the area to be stimulated.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the cerebral cortex of the subject may have multiple areas, such as the motor area M1, the visual area V1, the auditory area H1, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, a flexible electrode probe may be implanted in the visual area of ​​the cerebral cortex of the subject, i.e., the area to be stimulated, and optionally, an 81-channel flexible electrode probe may be implanted in the visual area V1.

[0060] Figure 33 is a schematic diagram of a flexible electrode probe provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the flexible electrode probe may include multiple channels, and each channel may include multiple electrode sites. As shown in 3, channel 300 may include a first electrode site 301 and a second electrode site 302. Since the cerebral cortex of the subject is curved, when the flexible electrode probe is implanted into the cerebral cortex of the subject, from the top view of the subject's head, each of the multiple channels corresponds to a different area of ​​the visual cortex, but the coordinates of the multiple electrode sites on the same channel in the coordinate system corresponding to the cerebral cortex are consistent, that is, the multiple electrode sites on the same channel correspond to the same area of ​​the visual cortex. Assume that the position corresponding to the first electrode site 301 in the spatial coordinate system is (2,1,0), and the position corresponding to the second electrode site 302 in the spatial coordinate system is (2,1,-1), but the positions of these two electrode sites in the coordinate system corresponding to the cerebral cortex are both (2,1). However, from the perspective of the subject's head, multiple electrode sites on the same channel are not at the same height, that is, their positions in the electrode site array are different. Assume that the first electrode site 301 corresponds to the position (6, 2) in the electrode site array, and the second electrode site 302 corresponds to the position (11, 2) in the electrode site array.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, multiple electrode sites of each channel can be encoded to obtain an electrode encoding subset, wherein each electrode code in the electrode encoding subset corresponds one-to-one to each electrode site in the multiple electrode sites, and the electrode code is the code at the candidate position corresponding to the channel to which the corresponding electrode site belongs. The code m corresponding to each electrode site has a one-to-one correspondence with the position of the corresponding electrode site in the electrode array, that is, f(m)→(x,y). For example, the first electrode site 301 and the second electrode site can be encoded to obtain a code m=1 corresponding to the first electrode site, and a code m=2 corresponding to the second electrode site, that is, code 1 corresponds to position (6,2), and code 2 corresponds to position (11,2).

[0062] In an optional embodiment, after acquiring the information to be displayed, the processor may determine a set of candidate positions from the area to be stimulated based on the information to be displayed, that is, determine a set of candidate positions corresponding to the information to be displayed "A" from multiple positions corresponding to the visual cortex.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, a 1024-channel flexible electrode probe can be implanted in the motor area M1, and the subject can be trained and the relevant EEG signals can be recorded. That is, the EEG signals when the subject intends to perform a certain function are recorded, and the intention is decoded in the processor to obtain the subject's motor intention, and then the intention is translated into computer instructions by the processor for regulating the point stimulation signal to achieve the regulation of the artificial visual display content. It can also be used as information to be displayed.

[0064] S205: Control the electrical stimulation unit to perform stimulation processing on each candidate position in the candidate position set to obtain an electroencephalogram signal corresponding to each candidate position; the electroencephalogram signal is a signal obtained by stimulating the neurons corresponding to each candidate position.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the processor can determine the target electrode code from each electrode code subset to obtain a target electrode code set, and then apply current to the electrode site corresponding to each target electrode code in the target electrode code set, stimulate the candidate position corresponding to each target electrode code, and obtain the EEG signal corresponding to each candidate position.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the processor can determine the channel corresponding to each candidate position in the candidate position set, and select at least one electrode site code corresponding to the channel corresponding to each candidate position as the target electrode code to obtain the target electrode code set, and then the electrical stimulation unit can be used to stimulate the electrode site corresponding to each target electrode code in the target electrode code set to stimulate the neurons corresponding to the candidate position, so as to produce a bright / dark artificial light sensation at a characteristic position in the subject's visual space and obtain an electroencephalogram signal. For example, after a flexible electrode probe is implanted in the visual area V1, the information to be displayed can be displayed on a display device adapted to the processor, and the display array corresponding to the information to be displayed can be determined, such as the display array corresponding to the information to be displayed "A" described above. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of information to be displayed provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, the corresponding positions of the information to be displayed in the display array are (1,5), (2,4), (3,4), (4,3), (5,3), (6,2), (7,2), (8,1), (9,1), (2,6), (3,6), (4,7), (5,7), (6,8), (7,8), (8,9), (9,9), (5,4), (5,5), and (5,6). The processor can determine the target electrode code based on the above positions to obtain a target electrode code set, that is, assuming that the display array is consistent with the electrode site array, determine the target electrode code, and obtain a target electrode code set.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the processor may acquire a target electrode code set, and then may decode the target electrode code set to obtain a corresponding electrode site that needs to be stimulated.

[0068] S207: Determine target display information according to the EEG signal corresponding to each candidate position and the information to be displayed.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the processor can determine the candidate display information based on the EEG signal corresponding to each candidate position, and then judge whether the candidate display information matches the information to be displayed. If it is determined that the candidate display information matches the information to be displayed, the candidate display information can be determined as the target display information.

[0070] If it is determined that the candidate display information does not match the information to be displayed, the target electrode code can be re-determined from each electrode code subset to obtain a new target electrode code set, and then the candidate position corresponding to each target electrode code can be stimulated based on the electrical stimulation unit, and the EEG signal corresponding to each candidate position can be obtained based on the EEG signal acquisition unit, and then the target display information can be determined based on the EEG signal corresponding to each candidate position and the information to be displayed.

[0071] By using the visual enhancement method based on the flexible electrode probe provided in the embodiment of the present application, it is possible to realize regulation within the artificial visual display and achieve the effect of closed-loop reading and writing.
