[0039] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0040] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.
[0041] Embodiments of this invention can be applied to computer systems / servers that can operate with a wide range of other general-purpose or special-purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well-known computing systems, environments, and / or configurations suitable for use with computer systems / servers include, but are not limited to: personal computer systems, server computer systems, thin clients, thick clients, handheld or laptop devices, microprocessor-based systems, set-top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputer systems, mainframe computer systems, and distributed cloud computing environments that include any of the above systems, etc.
[0042] Computer systems / servers can be described in the general context of computer system executable instructions (such as program modules) executed by the computer system.

In distributed cloud computing environments, program modules can reside on local or remote computing system storage media, including storage devices.
[0043] Before introducing the embodiments of the present invention, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of example. Electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, used to acquire brain signals from a target, has high temporal resolution but low spatial resolution; functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology, used to acquire brain oxygenation signals from a target, has high spatial resolution but low temporal resolution. Specific comparative data are shown in Table 1. Therefore, when detecting physiological data of patients with mental illnesses, a single neuroimaging modality (i.e., EEG or fNIRS) may, due to its inherent technical limitations, result in a lack of spatiotemporal physiological data (i.e., information), ultimately failing to provide medical personnel with a good basis for diagnosis and treatment.
[0044] Table 1 Comparison of EEG and fNIRS in terms of temporal and spatial resolution.
[0045]
[0046]
[0047] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors, based on a thorough study of existing technologies, proposed combining EEG technology with fNIRS technology to achieve multimodal analysis of the target. For this purpose, an exemplary configuration of the multimodal fNIRS-EEG acquisition channel is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. Specifically, Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the configuration of fNIRS-EEG multimodal acquisition channels based on the international 10-20 configuration system and with Fpz as the reference center. These channels are distributed across two functional regions of the target (prefrontal and temporal lobes), comprising 16 fNIRS detectors, 16 fNIRS light sources, and 29 EEG electrodes. The channels formed between the fNIRS detectors and fNIRS light sources constitute the cerebral oxygenation signal acquisition channels (36 in total), while the channels formed between two EEG electrodes are the EEG acquisition channels. Of course, acquisition channels can be configured using other methods; no specific limitations are specified here.
[0048] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a biometric analysis method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where EEG and fNIRS are combined to obtain complete spatiotemporal biometric information through multimodal analysis. The method can be executed by the biometric analysis device provided in this embodiment of the present invention. This device can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be integrated into an electronic device, which can be various user terminals or servers.
[0049] See Figure 2 The method of this invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0050] S110. Acquire the target's electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal.
[0051] This includes acquiring electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and cerebral oxygenation (COS) signals from the target using fNIRS technology. The system can analyze the actual EEG and COS signals (referred to as the two signals) of the target. For example, it can analyze the two signals acquired in real-time, or analyze signals that have already been acquired. It can also analyze simulated signals from the target, which can be derived from the actual acquired signals and can reflect the target's true condition to some extent, thus providing more analytical data. These are not specifically limited here.
[0052] In practical applications, optionally, the raw signals such as directly acquired EEG signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals can be preprocessed. For example, see... Figure 3 For electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, Independent Component Correlation Algorithm (ICA) can be used to process them. Specifically, this involves using source signal statistics and other methods to meet prior conditions and reconstruct unobservable source signal components from the mixed signal. Eye movement noise can also be removed from the EEG signal. Other techniques can also be used for processing the EEG signal, without specific limitations. For cerebral oxygenation (COS) signals, at least one of the following operations can be used for preprocessing: 1) conversion from light intensity to density; 2) channel-to-channel analysis; 3) artifact detection and correction; 4) signal filtering, such as wavelet processing, median filtering, or deep learning filtering; 5) conversion from optical density to oxygen concentration; 6) block averaging; etc., without specific limitations.
[0053] S120. Extract features from the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain EEG features, and extract features from the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain cerebral blood oxygenation features.
[0054] The process involves feature extraction from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to obtain EEG features. For example, specific feature extraction methods may include at least one of the following: short-time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelet filtering algorithm, support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), deep neural networks (DNN), and convolutional neural network (CNN). In addition, feature extraction is performed on cerebral blood oxygenation signals to obtain cerebral blood oxygenation features. The feature extraction method used here may be the same as or different from the feature extraction method used for EEG signals; no specific limitation is made here.
[0055] S130. Based on EEG characteristics and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics, biological characteristics are obtained through analysis. Among them, biological characteristics include the neurovascular coupling relationship of EEG signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals and the comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics of the target.
[0056] Among these, electroencephalogram (EEG) features provide more complete temporal information, and cerebral oxygenation features provide more complete spatial information. Therefore, multimodal analysis can be performed based on these two features, resulting in biomarkers with relatively complete information in both time and space. It should be noted that the analyzed biomarkers can include the neurovascular coupling relationship between EEG signals and cerebral oxygenation signals, as well as the comprehensive brain functional connectivity features of the target. Of course, other types of biomarkers may also be included, without specific limitations. In conjunction with the application scenarios that may be involved in the embodiments of this invention, the physiological data of patients with mental illnesses can be detected based on the above scheme, thereby analyzing their biomarkers.
[0057] The technical solution of this invention involves acquiring the target's electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal; extracting features from the EEG signal to obtain EEG features, and extracting features from the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain cerebral blood oxygenation features; and then analyzing these features to obtain biological characteristics, including the neurovascular coupling relationship between the EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation signals and the target's comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics. This technical solution, targeting the EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation signals acquired through multimodal fNIRS-EEG neuroimaging technology, extracts features from both, and then analyzes the resulting EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation features to obtain biological characteristics. These biological characteristics possess relatively complete information in both time and space, thus providing medical personnel with better diagnostic and treatment basis.
[0058] An optional technical solution involves feature extraction from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals to obtain EEG features. This can include: acquiring a pre-set time window and sliding the window across the EEG signal to obtain at least two EEG signals; extracting features from the at least two EEG signals to obtain cortical activity information of the target in the time domain, and using the cortical activity information as the EEG features. In conjunction with potential application scenarios of this invention, spatiotemporal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) constrained EEG source imaging (i.e., dynamic brain migration networks) can be used to perform source tracing analysis, where a sliding window method is used to analyze each EEG period. Specifically, the EEG time window is selected as t milliseconds (depending on the test duration), where the dynamic time window can be designed with 50% overlap, which helps to provide a suitable temporal resolution for evoked response potential studies. Thus, cortical activity information of each region of interest in the target in the time domain can be extracted by averaging voxel activity within the region. The above technical solution, by employing a sliding window scheme, achieves effective extraction of EEG features.
[0059] Another optional technical solution involves feature extraction from the cerebral oxygenation signal to obtain cerebral oxygenation features. This may include: statistically analyzing the channel signals acquired under the same acquisition channel using a generalized linear model to obtain a channel activation map; and obtaining a scalp activation map of the target based on the channel activation maps corresponding to each acquisition channel, using the scalp activation map as a cerebral oxygenation feature. Considering the application scenarios that may be involved in the embodiments of this invention, the classic generalized linear model (GLM) can be used to perform statistical analysis on the cerebral oxygenation signal of each target, and then obtain the channel activation map of the acquisition channel by comparing the encoding task with the baseline, which can also be called a significant activation map. Based on this, a cluster-based method can be used to correct multiple comparisons to limit the multiple comparison error rate to within 0.05. Acquisition channels with acquisition channel values in fNIRS higher than the p_value threshold (p-correction > 0.05) can be considered as negligible acquisition channels with minimal impact, thus ensuring that only statistically significant acquisition channel values can be used for subsequent source imaging operations. The scalp activation maps of fNIRS are typically projected and interpolated onto the cortical layer, thus visually representing the activation status of relevant brain regions. In short, firstly, the position of each acquisition channel (midpoint between the light source and detector) of fNIRS is marked on the scalp; further, according to the method described, the fNIRS scalp positions are projected onto the cortical layer; finally, the fNIRS activation values of each acquisition channel are applied and interpolated onto the cortical source using the method described. In this embodiment of the invention, the channel activation map of a single acquisition channel can be divided into multiple sub-maps based on adjacent locations and cortical functional region clusters, allowing greater spatial flexibility when using fNIRS information as a constraint. More specifically, connected component labeling techniques (e.g., decomposition algorithms, such as Dulmage Mendelsohn) are used to group activation voxels into multiple subsets, and then each cortical activation block is divided into smaller blocks according to a predefined brain atlas, thereby ensuring that a single region does not cover multiple functional brain regions. The above technical solution, by employing GLM analysis of cerebral blood oxygenation signals, achieves effective extraction of cerebral blood oxygenation features.
[0060] Based on this, in order to better understand the various technical solutions mentioned above as a whole, specific examples will be provided below for illustrative purposes. For example, such as... Figure 4As shown, the acquired EEG and cerebral oxygenation signals are preprocessed, and the signals are updated based on the preprocessing results. Furthermore, a sliding window scheme is used to perform EEG source analysis to obtain EEG features, and GLM-based feature extraction is used to extract cerebral oxygenation features. Of course, other schemes can also be used for feature extraction; no specific limitation is made here. Finally, the neurovascular coupling relationship and comprehensive brain functional connectivity features can be obtained by combining the EEG and cerebral oxygenation features.
[0061] Before introducing the embodiments of the present invention, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention will be described by way of example. The neurovascular coupling relationship can be understood as the relationship between local neural activity and subsequent changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF). The magnitude and spatial location of blood flow changes are closely related to changes in neural activity through a complex sequence of coordinated events involving neurons, glial cells, and vascular cells. Many vascular-based functional brain imaging techniques, such as fMRI and fNIRS, rely on this neurovascular coupling relationship to infer the patterns of neural activity changes.
[0062] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of another biometric analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. This embodiment is based on the above-mentioned technical solutions and optimized. In this embodiment, optionally, feature extraction of EEG signals to obtain EEG features may include: standardizing the potential signals of at least one band in the time dimension of the EEG signal in the amplitude dimension; orthogonalizing the standardized potential signals of each band to obtain orthogonalization results; convolving the orthogonalization results with a hemodynamic function, and using the regression value of the EEG signal obtained after convolution in a generalized linear model as the EEG feature. Alternatively, feature extraction of cerebral oxygenation signals to obtain cerebral oxygenation features may include: feature extraction of cerebral oxygenation signals acquired in a first channel to obtain a first oxygenation feature, and feature extraction of cerebral oxygenation signals acquired in a second channel to obtain a second oxygenation feature, wherein the channel length of the first channel is longer than that of the second channel; using the regression values of the first oxygenation feature and the second oxygenation feature in the generalized linear model as cerebral oxygenation features. The explanations of terms that are the same as or corresponding to those in the above embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0063] See Figure 5 The method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:
[0064] S210. Acquire the target's electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal.
[0065] S220. For the potential signal of at least one band in the time dimension of the EEG signal, the potential signal of each band is standardized in the amplitude dimension.
[0066] At least one band can be at least one of the theta, alpha, and beta bands, but other bands are not specifically limited here. The signal of at least one band in the time dimension of the EEG signal is taken as the potential signal, and the potential signals of each band are standardized in the amplitude dimension.
[0067] S230. Orthogonalize the normalized potential signals of each band to obtain the orthogonalization result.
[0068] In this process, the potential signals of each band after standardization are orthogonalized. Considering the possible application scenarios involved in the embodiments of this invention, the Schmidt-Gram orthogonalization scheme can be adopted here. This scheme solves for the orthogonal basis (i.e., normalization) of each band in Euclidean space to obtain the orthogonalization result.
[0069] S240. Convolve the orthogonalization result with the hemodynamic function, and use the regression of the EEG signal obtained after convolution in the generalized linear model as the EEG feature.
[0070] In this process, the orthogonalization result is convolved with the hemodynamic response function (HRF) to obtain the regression value of the EEG signal in the GLM. Alternatively, this step can be understood as convolving the orthogonalization result with brain oxygenation dynamics to obtain a model of the expected change in hemoglobin concentration after EEG activity in a resting state, resulting in a regression value based on EEG in the GLM. This regression value is then used as the EEG feature.
[0071] S250. Perform feature extraction on the cerebral blood oxygenation signal acquired on the first channel to obtain the first blood oxygenation feature, and perform feature extraction on the cerebral blood oxygenation signal acquired on the second channel to obtain the second blood oxygenation feature, wherein the channel length of the first channel is longer than that of the second channel.
[0072] In this step, the first channel can be understood as a long channel, and the second channel as a short channel; these terms are relative. Feature extraction is performed on the cerebral blood oxygenation signals acquired from different acquisition channels to obtain their respective blood oxygenation features: the first blood oxygenation feature corresponding to the first channel and the second blood oxygenation feature corresponding to the second channel. In practical applications, optionally, the first stage of the first blood oxygenation feature can be standardized. Depending on the application scenarios that may be involved in this embodiment, standardization can be achieved using the Z-score.
[0073] S260. The regression values of the first blood oxygenation feature in the generalized linear model and the regression values of the second blood oxygenation feature in the generalized linear model are used as brain blood oxygenation features.
[0074] Among them, the regression values of the first blood oxygenation feature in GLM and the regression values of the second blood oxygenation feature in GLM are used as brain blood oxygenation features.
[0075] S270. Based on EEG characteristics and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics, biological characteristics are obtained through analysis. Among them, biological characteristics include the neurovascular coupling relationship of EEG signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals and the comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics of the target.
[0076] The technical solution of this invention standardizes the potential signals of each band in the time dimension of the EEG signal in the amplitude dimension, then orthogonalizes the standardized potential signals of each band, and convolves the orthogonalization result with the HRF. The regression value of the EEG signal obtained after convolution in the GLM is used as the EEG feature, thereby achieving effective extraction of EEG features; and / or, feature extraction is performed on the cerebral blood oxygenation signals acquired in the short channel and long channel respectively to obtain the corresponding first blood oxygenation feature and second blood oxygenation feature. The regression values of the first blood oxygenation feature and the second blood oxygenation feature in the GLM are used as the cerebral blood oxygenation feature, thereby achieving effective extraction of cerebral blood oxygenation features.
[0077] Based on this, an optional technical solution, which analyzes and obtains biomarkers based on EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics, may include: fusing EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics to obtain a first fused feature; analyzing the first fused feature based on a generalized linear model (GLM), and using the obtained neurovascular coupling relationship as a biomarker. Specifically, to fully utilize the advantages of both EEG and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics, these two can be fused to obtain the first fused feature, and then analyzed based on a GLM to obtain the neurovascular coupling relationship, thereby achieving effective analysis of this biomarker. In practical applications, the fusion of EEG and cerebral oxygenation features can be achieved in various ways, such as based on attention mechanisms or wavelet transform; or by using the Joint Mutual Information (JMI) criterion to optimize the combination of EEG and cerebral oxygenation features; or by analyzing brain information from preset perspectives through different decision paths and then using Independent Decision Path Fusion (IDPF); or by converting the combination of EEG and cerebral oxygenation features in the time series into a third-order tensor through tensor mapping; of course, other methods can also be used to achieve the fusion process, which will not be elaborated here.
[0078] To better understand the various technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention, specific examples are provided below for illustrative purposes. For example, see [link to example description]. Figure 6 To estimate the physiological (neuronal) indices of patients with mental illness, the neurovascular coupling relationship based on fNIRS convolution of signal features can be analyzed. Specifically, during EEG signal processing, the potential signals of the θ, α, and β bands for each patient with mental illness are extracted from single trials to multiple trials (i.e., the time dimension), and these signals are standardized in the amplitude dimension. Schmidt-Gram orthogonalization is performed by solving for the orthogonal basis (normalization) of each band in Euclidean space; this is then convolved with the HRF to obtain the regression value based on EEG in GLM. During cerebral oxygenation signal processing, the first stage of the first oxygenation feature in the long channel and the first stage of the second oxygenation feature in the short channel are z-score processed. Finally, their regression values are combined with the EEG regression values for GLM analysis, thereby obtaining the neurovascular coupling relationship between EEG signals and cerebral oxygenation signals.
[0079] Figure 7 This is a flowchart of another biometric analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above-mentioned technical solutions. In this embodiment, optionally, feature extraction is performed on the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain EEG features, including: analyzing the EEG signal to obtain a first brain functional connectivity feature, and using the first brain functional connectivity feature as the EEG feature; feature extraction is performed on the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain cerebral blood oxygenation features, including: analyzing the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain a second brain functional connectivity feature, and using the second brain functional connectivity feature as the cerebral blood oxygenation feature; based on the EEG features and cerebral blood oxygenation features, biometric features are analyzed and obtained, which may include: comparing the EEG features and cerebral blood oxygenation features to obtain a comprehensive brain functional connectivity feature, and using the comprehensive brain functional connectivity feature as the biometric feature. The explanations of terms that are the same as or corresponding to those in the above embodiments are not repeated here.
[0080] See Figure 7 The method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:
[0081] S310. Acquire the target's electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal.
[0082] S320. Analyze the EEG signals to obtain the first brain functional connectivity features, and use the first brain functional connectivity features as EEG features.
[0083] S330. Analyze the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain the second brain functional connectivity feature, and use the second brain functional connectivity feature as the cerebral blood oxygenation feature.
[0084] S340. Compare the EEG characteristics and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics to obtain the comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics of the target, and use the comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics as biological characteristics.
[0085] Specifically, EEG signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals can be analyzed separately to obtain their respective brain functional connectivity features, such as the first brain functional connectivity feature corresponding to the EEG signal and the second brain functional connectivity feature corresponding to the cerebral blood oxygenation signal. Furthermore, these two brain functional connectivity features are compared to obtain the comprehensive brain functional connectivity features of the target. In practical applications, the analysis process for the first and second brain functional connectivity features can optionally be the same or different; no specific limitations are imposed here.
[0086] The technical solution of this invention analyzes electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals, and then compares the first brain functional connectivity features corresponding to the EEG signals and the second brain functional connectivity features corresponding to the cerebral blood oxygenation signals to effectively obtain comprehensive brain functional connectivity features.
[0087] Based on this, an optional technical solution involves analyzing cerebral oxygenation signals to obtain second brain functional connectivity features. This can include: calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient between the reference signal located on the reference channel and the remaining signals located on the other channels in each acquisition channel, based on the reference signal and the remaining signals; and obtaining the second brain functional connectivity features based on the Pearson correlation coefficient. In practical applications, optionally, assuming the reference channel is the i-th acquisition channel and the remaining channels are the j-th acquisition channels, the Pearson correlation coefficient r between these two acquisition channels can be expressed by the following formula:
[0088]
[0089] Where ρ is the correlation coefficient of the Pearson function, and y i Let y represent the n-point time series of the i-th acquisition channel. j Let represent the n-point time series of the j-th channel, with the functional connectivity quantized as r for the channel configuration. The above technical solution effectively obtains the second brain functional connectivity features through the calculated Pearson correlation coefficient.
[0090] Another optional technical solution, based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, to obtain the second brain functional connectivity feature may include: transforming each of the at least two calculated Pearson correlation coefficients according to a preset transformation strategy to obtain a transformed brain functional connectivity map, wherein the preset transformation strategy is used to achieve nonlinear correction; averaging the transformed brain functional connectivity maps to obtain an average brain functional connectivity map; and performing a reverse transformation on the average brain functional connectivity map based on the inverse transformation strategy corresponding to the preset transformation strategy to obtain the second brain functional connectivity feature. In practical applications, optionally, the preset transformation strategy can be a pre-set strategy for transforming the Pearson correlation coefficient to achieve nonlinear correction, such as the Fisher transformation; then the inverse transformation strategy can be the inverse Fisher transformation. The Fisher transformation is expressed by the following formula:
[0091]
[0092] Here, z represents the z-value obtained after Fisher transform, and a transformed brain functional connectivity map can be obtained based on the z-value. The above technical solution can accurately obtain the second brain functional connectivity features.
[0093] To better understand the various technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention, specific examples are provided below for illustrative purposes. For example,... Figure 8 As shown, brain functional connectivity analysis can be understood as follows: A sampling channel from a functional region of interest is selected as the basic seed (i.e., the baseline channel) to calculate the correlation coefficient (r) between the basic seed and all other channels (i.e., the remaining channels). At least two basic seeds are used to calculate r for each region of interest in each cortical area. Specifically, firstly, trials representing time-series hemodynamic response signals during the detection phase are selected from the overall trial to represent task-related responses. Then, r between the i-th and j-th sampling channels is calculated using the formula mentioned above. Each new calculation of r can be called a run. Then, the Fisher transform is used to convert the r values to z values to obtain a set of functional connectivity maps (i.e., transformed brain functional connectivity maps), and the z values during the runs of each sampling channel are averaged to obtain the average brain functional connectivity map. Finally, the brain functional connectivity presented in the r map (i.e., the second brain functional connectivity feature) is obtained through the inverse Fisher transform. Based on this, to further analyze the brain functional connectivity maps corresponding to the second brain functional connectivity feature, statistical analysis can be used to compare significant differences in brain functional connectivity between frontal and temporal cortical regions.
[0094] Before introducing the embodiments of the present invention, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention will be described exemplarily. From the perspective of locating the target region within a target, EEG currently has difficulty locating the target region, while fNIRS has a much higher localization performance than EEG. By analyzing the target's cerebral blood oxygenation signal, damaged or abnormal areas under the cerebral cortex can be reconstructed through algorithms and can be identified relatively well by the naked eye. However, it still lacks the accuracy of fMRI. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of target region localization, the inventors have proposed the following technical solution.
[0095] Figure 9 This is a flowchart of another biometric analysis method provided in this embodiment of the invention. This embodiment is an optimization based on the above-described technical solutions. Optionally, in this embodiment, the above-described biometric analysis method may further include: fusing electroencephalogram (EEG) features and cerebral blood oxygenation features to obtain a second fused feature; and performing brain imaging reconstruction based on the second fused feature to obtain a brain atlas. The explanations of terms that are the same as or corresponding to those in the above embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0096] See Figure 9 The method in this embodiment may specifically include the following steps:
[0097] S410. Acquire the target's electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal.
[0098] S420. Extract features from the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain EEG features, and extract features from the cerebral blood oxygenation signal to obtain cerebral blood oxygenation features.
[0099] S430. Based on EEG characteristics and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics, biological characteristics are obtained through analysis. Among them, biological characteristics include the neurovascular coupling relationship of EEG signals and cerebral blood oxygenation signals and the comprehensive brain functional connectivity characteristics of the target.
[0100] S440. The EEG characteristics and cerebral blood oxygenation characteristics are fused to obtain the second fused characteristic.
[0101] Among them, the second fusion feature has relatively complete information in both time and space.
[0102] S450. Brain imaging reconstruction is performed based on the second fusion feature to obtain a brain atlas.
[0103] The brain atlas obtained after brain imaging reconstruction based on the second fusion feature can be understood as a brain atlas generated under multimodal data fusion. Such a brain atlas is more helpful for automatically or manually locating target regions. For example, see Figure 10The brain atlas shown typically contains multiple functional areas within the target area. Target areas for different diseases may be located in the same or different functional areas. In the diagram, A and B represent two different diseases. Taking A as an example, its two straight lines point to different functional areas, which are darker in color. The darker the color, the greater the likelihood that the functional area is the target area, thus improving the accuracy of target area localization. The located target area can be used as a physical stimulation target, such as transcranial alternating-current stimulation (tACS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (tMS).
[0104] The technical solution of this invention involves fusing EEG features and cerebral blood oxygenation features to obtain a second fused feature, and then performing brain imaging reconstruction based on the second fused feature to obtain a brain atlas. This processing method can capture more complete information in time and space, thereby improving the localization accuracy of the target area.
[0105] To better understand the various technical solutions described above, specific examples are provided below for illustration. For examples, see [link to example]. Figure 11 Specifically:
[0106] Step 1: Collect EEG and cerebral oxygenation signals from the target patient with mental illness;
[0107] Step 2: Preprocess and filter the EEG signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal respectively;
[0108] Step 3: Extract features from the EEG signal and cerebral blood oxygenation signal respectively, such as short-time Fourier transform, wavelet algorithm or deep learning algorithm, etc.
[0109] Step 4: Fuse the extracted EEG features and cerebral blood oxygenation features so that they can be integrated into data on the same dimension;
[0110] Step 5: Multidimensional data analysis: 1) Neurovascular coupling analysis; 2) Brain atlas analysis; 3) Brain functional connectivity analysis;
[0111] Step 6: The results of multi-dimensional data analysis can provide medical staff with a basis for diagnosis and treatment.
[0112] The above technical solution integrates and couples fNIRS and EEG data in multiple dimensions to capture the biological characteristics of patients with mental illness to the greatest extent. In addition, based on the spatial localization of fNIRS, the brain imaging reconstruction algorithm under multimodal data can accurately locate the target area of patients with mental illness.
