Electroencephalogram signals are the overall effects of the electrical activities of a large number of brain nerve cells in a highly coherent state on the cerebral cortex. By using electrodes placed on the scalp, the electrical activities of brain cells are led out and amplified by an electroencephalogram detection device for analysis and recording.

[0039] Based on the above hardware structure, various embodiments of the method of the present invention are proposed.

[0040] Living human tissue cells always generate very weak bioelectricity. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is the overall effect of the electrical activities of a large number of brain nerve cells in a highly coherent state on the cerebral cortex. The electrical activities of brain cells are led out by electrodes placed on the scalp and amplified by an EEG detection device for analysis and recording. It has a certain waveform, amplitude, frequency, and phase and is variable, which is the EEG analysis. When the brain tissue undergoes functional changes, this waveform curve will change accordingly, thus providing a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0041] Since the EEG signal itself is very weak, various external factors will inevitably cause artifacts and noise during the measurement process, which affect the quality of the EEG signal. The interference caused by poor contact between the electrode and the scalp, power frequency interference, and amplifier channel noise are the three most influential interference sources in EEG detection. Some traditional EEG detection devices do not have the function of monitoring the electrode connection situation, and some can only partially measure the connection situation of the lead electrodes and cannot measure all the lead electrodes.

The analog processing unit 3 is used to perform processing such as filtering and amplifying the EEG signals; in addition, the driving end of the analog processing unit 3 is connected to the driven end of the impedance network 1 for maintaining the traceability of the EEG signals.

[0045] The signal output end of the analog signal unit is electrically connected to the signal input end of the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4. After the EEG signals are filtered and amplified, they enter the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4, and the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 performs digital quantization and encoding on the EEG signals. In one embodiment, the analog signal unit is a plurality of identical operational amplifiers.

[0046] The signal output end of the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 is also connected to the signal input end of the digital processing unit 5. The analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 inputs the EEG signals after digital quantization and encoding into the digital processing unit 5, and the digital processing unit 5 can perform signal processing on the EEG signals to obtain the waveform of the electroencephalogram. In one embodiment, the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 is an AD converter.

[0047] In addition, the switch circuit unit 2 is connected in series between the signal output end of the impedance network 1 and the signal input end of the analog processing unit 3 for controlling the start and stop of the EEG signal detection process.

[0049] In one embodiment, the EEG detection device further includes an auxiliary circuit unit 6, and the auxiliary circuit unit 6 is connected in series between the impedance network 1 and the switch circuit unit 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the auxiliary circuit unit 6 is connected in series between the impedance network 1 and the switch circuit unit 2. Before the impedance network 1 transmits the acquired EEG signal to the switch circuit unit 2, the EEG signal will first be transmitted to the auxiliary circuit unit 6.

[0051] In one embodiment, the EEG detection device further includes a power supply module 7. The power supply module 7 includes a positive power supply 71, a first resistor 72, and a second resistor 73. The positive power supply 71 is a voltage source.

[0052] The EEG detection device further includes a power supply module 7. In this embodiment, the power supply module 7 includes a positive power supply 71, a first resistor 72, and a second resistor 73. The positive power supply 71 is a voltage source, and the DC or AC of this voltage source is not limited. If it is AC, the fundamental frequency should be within the band of the analog processing unit 3, and the sine or square wave waveform is not limited. And there is at least one voltage source in the present application.

[0053] In addition, there are two working modes in the EEG detection device of the present application. In the EEG acquisition mode, the voltage source does not work. In addition to the EEG acquisition mode for acquiring and processing EEG signals, there is also an impedance test mode for testing the impedance of the lead electrodes in the impedance network 1. In the impedance test mode, the positive power supply 71 generates a power supply test signal. The power supply test signal can form a closed resistor voltage division network at the scalp through the impedance network 1 to generate an impedance test signal. The impedance test signal sequentially passes through the analog processing unit 3, the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 and reaches the digital processing unit 5.

[0061] In this embodiment, the analog processing unit 3 includes a filter amplification circuit 31 and a drive circuit 32. The signal input end of the filter amplification circuit 31 is connected to the signal output end of the impedance network 1, and the signal output end of the filter amplification circuit 31 is connected to the signal input end of the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4, and is used to filter and amplify the impedance test signal and the EEG signal. The drive end of the drive circuit 32 is connected to the driven end of the impedance network 1. Whether in the EEG acquisition mode or the impedance test mode, the drive circuit 32 can extract the slow-changing wave in the EEG signal, and pass the slow-changing wave through the impedance module to reach the user's scalp, and negatively feedback to the scalp to cancel the static voltage fluctuation on the scalp, so as to compress the dynamic range of the EEG signal to match the signal input range of the analog processing unit 3, so as to maintain the traceability of the EEG signal.

[0062] In one embodiment, the impedance network 1 includes at least two electroencephalogram (EEG) signal test electrodes Z1-Zn, an impedance test auxiliary electrode Zref, and a drive auxiliary electrode Zgnd. The EEG signal test electrodes Z1-Zn are respectively connected to the signal input ends of the filtering and amplifying circuit 31. The impedance test auxiliary electrode Zref is connected to the signal input end of the filtering and amplifying circuit 31.

[0063] In this embodiment, the impedance network 1 includes at least two EEG signal test electrodes Z1-Zn, at least one impedance test auxiliary electrode Zref, and at least one drive auxiliary electrode Zgnd. The EEG signal test electrodes Z1-Zn are respectively connected to the signal input ends of the filtering and amplifying circuit 31.

[0064] In one embodiment, the switch circuit unit 2 includes at least two groups of signal test switches and a first switch S0. The signal test switches correspond to the EEG signal test electrodes Z1-Zn one by one. The signal test switch includes a first signal test switch S1 and a second signal test switch S2.

One end of the first switch S0 is connected to the second resistor 73. The other end of the first switch S0 is connected to the signal input end of the filtering and amplifying circuit 31.

[0065] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the switch circuit unit 2 includes at least two groups of signal test switches. Each group of signal test switches includes two, and each group of signal test switches corresponds to an EEG signal test electrode Z1-Zn one by one. Specifically, each signal test switch can control whether the power test signal passes through the impedance network 1 to form a closed loop at the scalp, generating an impedance test signal.

[0066] Furthermore, the filtering and amplifying circuit 31 includes at least three operational amplifiers, including two electroencephalogram (EEG) signal testing operational amplifiers and one driving auxiliary operational amplifier.

[0067] The present invention also provides an impedance detection method for an EEG detection device. The steps of the impedance detection method for the EEG detection device include:

[0068] Step S100, obtaining a control instruction and selecting the working mode of the EEG detection device according to the control instruction;

[0069] Step S200, if the EEG acquisition mode is selected, acquiring an EEG signal and generating an EEG signal processing result according to the EEG signal;

[0070] Step S300, if the impedance detection mode is selected, obtaining a power supply test signal, generating an impedance detection signal according to the power supply test signal, and obtaining a theoretical contact impedance based on the impedance detection signal.

[0071] There are two working modes in the EEG detection device of the present application. One working mode is the EEG acquisition mode for acquiring and processing EEG signals, and the other working mode is the impedance test mode for testing the impedance of the lead electrodes in the impedance network 1.

[0072] In the EEG acquisition mode, at least two EEG signal testing electrodes Z1-Zn in the impedance network 1 are placed on the user's scalp and respectively acquire the EEG signals on the human scalp. The EEG signals can reach the switch circuit unit 2 and the auxiliary circuit unit 6 simultaneously. In the EEG acquisition mode, all switches in the switch circuit unit 2 are disconnected. Therefore, the power supply module 7 will not affect the EEG acquisition, and the auxiliary circuit unit 6 limits the harmful large signals in the EEG signals. Then the EEG signals enter the analog processing unit 3. The analog processing unit 3 filters and amplifies the EEG signals. The amplified EEG signals enter the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4 to be converted from analog signals to digital signals. The converted EEG signals enter the digital processing unit 5 to obtain the EEG signal processing result. Among them, the EEG signal processing result can be an electroencephalogram in the form of a curve graph or a record in the form of text.

[0073] In the impedance test mode, the positive power supply 71 generates a power supply test signal. As Figure 6 shown, in the impedance test mode, the switch S0 is closed, and in the switch circuit unit 2, S1 - Sn are closed in turn for a first preset duration and then opened, so as to test the theoretical contact impedance of each EEG signal test electrode Z1 - Zn in the impedance network 1 in turn. Herein, the first preset duration is a time length set in advance by those skilled in the art. In this way, the power supply test signal passes through the impedance network 1 and will form a closed loop at the scalp, generating an impedance test signal for the analog processing unit 3. The analog processing unit 3 will also filter and amplify the impedance test signal. Then, the impedance test signal reaches the digital processing unit 5 through the analog-to-digital conversion unit 4. The digital processing unit 5 can calculate the theoretical contact impedance of each lead electrode according to the impedance test signal.

[0074] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the theoretical contact impedance based on the impedance detection signal includes:

[0075] Obtaining the voltage amplitude of the voltage source and the circuit amplification gain;

[0076] Obtaining the first resistance value of the first resistor 72 and the second resistance value of the second resistor 73, and calculating the source fixed resistance value according to the first resistance value and the second resistance value;

[0077] Calculating the theoretical contact impedance according to the voltage amplitude, the source fixed resistance value, the circuit amplification gain, and the impedance detection signal.

[0078] In this embodiment, taking Figure 6 as an example, since the positive power supply 71 is a voltage source, the voltage amplitude of the voltage source can be set as U. Then, the amplitudes of the impedance detection signals received in the digital processing unit 5 can be U1, U2......U n-1 , U n , U 1g , U 2g , and the first resistance value of the first resistor 72 can be set as R0, and the second resistance value of the second resistor 73 can be set as R1. Therefore, since the first resistor 72 and the second resistor 73 are in series, the resistance value of the source fixed resistor can be calculated as the sum of the first resistance value and the second resistance value. The source fixed resistor R exists:

[0079] R = R0 + R1

[0080] Among them, U 1g is the signal amplitude of the impedance detection signal passing through the CH1 channel after the switch S1 is closed; U 2g is the signal amplitude of the impedance detection signal passing through the CH2 channel after the switch S2 is closed. Then, the following equations can be listed:

[0081]

[0082] Among them, Z1, Z2, Z3.......Z n , Z ref , Z gnd are the theoretical contact impedances corresponding to the respective lead electrodes. g is the circuit amplification gain of the analog processing unit 3. When I, g, R, U1, U2......U n-1 , U n , U 1g , U 2g are all known quantities, the theoretical contact impedances of the respective lead electrodes can be calculated. Based on the above calculation method, the present application supports contact impedance testing for zero electrodes, and the present application supports impedance testing for lead electrodes of a fully differential circuit.
