Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of human-computer interaction, and specifically to a synchronous collection, transmission and analysis system for human brain electrical signals and surface physiological myoelectric signals, in particular to a wireless synchronous collection and analysis system for mixed brain electrical and myoelectric data. Background Art

[0002] Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a bioelectric signal generated by the activity of brain neurons, which can reflect the important physiological state and neural activity information of the brain. EEG signals have the advantages of non-invasiveness, non-traumaticity, and high temporal resolution. Usually, EEG signals are recorded by placing monopolar or bipolar electrodes on the scalp. However, since the activation state of neurons in different areas of the brain is not uniform, and the position of the electrode has a great influence on signal acquisition, the use of electrodes with a small number of channels will produce different EEG activity results due to differences in the placement of electrodes when extracting EEG signals. This makes it difficult to obtain EEG signals of sufficient accuracy in certain tasks such as precise brain area function analysis and cognitive status assessment, which in turn limits the accurate decoding and analysis of complex brain activities.

[0003] Surface electromyogram (sEMG) is a bioelectric signal generated by human neuromuscular activity. It can reflect important physiological status and health information of the human body and has the advantages of being non-invasive, non-traumatic, and easy to operate. Surface electromyography is usually performed by placing a single electrode or two electrodes on the muscle belly to extract electromyographic signals. However, the activation state of skeletal muscles is uneven during exercise. When extracting signals with fewer electrode channels, the signals will differ due to different electrode placement positions, making it difficult to complete tasks such as accurate muscle activation analysis and muscle force estimation.

[0004] High-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG) acquisition uses a three-dimensional matrix electrode array to cover the entire scalp area. Through the high-density electrode layout, HD-EEG can obtain richer time-frequency and spatial domain information in different brain regions, generate spatial distribution images of brain activity, and make up for the low spatial resolution of traditional few-channel EEG. As a means of objectively quantifying brain electrical activity, high-density EEG acquisition not only has important applications in neuroscience fields such as epilepsy monitoring and cognitive function research, but also shows broad application prospects in fields such as brain-computer interface, virtual reality, neurorehabilitation, and cognitive training. High-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) uses a two-dimensional matrix surface electrode to cover the entire muscle skin area. High-density surface electromyography can obtain the time-frequency and spatial domain information of the target muscle, and obtain a visualization of the corresponding activation area of ​​skeletal muscle, overcoming the disadvantage of low spatial resolution of ordinary electrodes. The synchronous acquisition of high-density EEG and high-density surface electromyography is an important technical means to carry out mechanistic refinement analysis of the human neuromusculoskeletal system and human-computer interactive control. In view of the demand for synchronous acquisition of human EEG and EMG, the shortcomings of existing EEG and EMG hybrid acquisition technology are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

[0005] (1) In response to the wireless demand for EEG and surface electromyography data collection, existing wireless acquisition devices have problems such as insufficient number of channels (usually less than 128 channels), low sampling frequency (less than 1000Hz), and insufficient synchronization accuracy (delay exceeding 1 millisecond). It is difficult to achieve real-time synchronous acquisition of EEG and surface electromyography signals in multiple scenarios. These limitations seriously affect the analysis effect and practical application of EEG and electromyography mixed data. In addition, wired acquisition of electromyography and EEG signals is more likely to cause mutual interference.

[0006] (2) At present, the acquisition of electromyography and electroencephalography is usually carried out through separate channels for analog amplification, filtering and analog-to-digital conversion. This leads to problems such as large equipment size, high power consumption and restricted movement of subjects during the test.

[0007] (3) For applications such as brain-computer interfaces, motion control, and rehabilitation training, relying solely on a single EEG or surface electromyography signal cannot fully reflect the user's neuromuscular activity status.

[0008] (4) Since EEG signals are low-frequency, low-amplitude electrical signals, they will be coupled to higher-amplitude industrial frequency interference from the surrounding environment during EEG signal acquisition. The existing front-end analog circuits lack the characteristics of high gain, high common-mode rejection ratio and low noise.

[0009] In response to the above problems, the present invention is committed to developing a new hybrid synchronous acquisition system of EEG and EMG, which realizes the synchronous acquisition of high-density EEG and high-density surface EMG through a wireless body area network, has a low-power, wearable design, supports data acquisition with high channel count and high sampling rate, and ensures high-precision and low-latency transmission of signals. In addition, the system effectively reduces the interference between EEG and EMG signals through a time synchronization mechanism, and can perform real-time monitoring and data analysis in multiple scenarios, which is suitable for fields such as neuroscience, motion control and rehabilitation training.

[0034] Furthermore, the signal time-frequency domain feature extraction is to extract the time-frequency domain features of the preprocessed EEG signal and surface electromyography signal:

[0035] A. Signal time domain feature extraction;

[0047] Average power frequency: The power-weighted average of each frequency component of the signal power spectral density.

[0048] Furthermore, the motor nerve signal decoding, i.e. the preprocessed surface electromyographic signal, is further used to extract the spatiotemporal characteristics of the motor unit time series based on the blind source separation algorithm and cluster analysis algorithm:

[0049] A. Signal expansion;

[0050] First, the surface electromyography signals of each channel after preprocessing are centered, that is, the average value of each channel is subtracted, and then the covariance matrix of the surface electromyography channel data after centering is calculated, and the covariance matrix is ​​decomposed by eigenvalue.

The size of the coherence value or causal relationship measurement value represents the connection strength of the edge in the network.

[0068] Furthermore, the interface of the reference electrode adopts a hot-swappable design; the reference electrode wristband conducts electricity by being soaked in conductive liquid, and uses soft fabric with good air permeability and strong water absorption to ensure comfort for long-term wearing. The multi-button design on the reference electrode wristband allows multiple leads to be connected to the same wristband.

[0069] Furthermore, the wireless routing module can simultaneously transmit data with 10 signal acquisition and transmission units, that is, simultaneously transmit 640-channel signals and 60-channel acceleration signals; the wireless routing module supports remote sending of control commands to the high-density EEG and surface electromyography signal acquisition system, adjusts the settings of the signal acquisition and transmission units and modifies the system parameters, and can meet the transmission bandwidth requirement of a peak value of 300KSps; it can also receive control instructions issued by the host computer system; it adopts the Modbus communication protocol in the form of RS485 and a full-duplex working mode to ensure the flexibility of data exchange.

[0083] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a wireless high-density EEG and EMG hybrid synchronous acquisition monitoring system is composed of three parts: a high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system, a base station system and a host computer system; the high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system is responsible for signal acquisition and preliminary processing, the base station system exchanges data with the high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system through wireless transmission, and transmits the processed signal to the host computer system for further analysis and display;

[0088] 1.4) The signal acquisition and transmission unit includes an EEG signal acquisition and transmission unit and a surface electromyography signal acquisition and transmission unit. Each signal acquisition and transmission unit includes a signal acquisition chip, a nine-axis acceleration sensor MPU-9250, a microcontroller STM32, a wireless transmission module, a power control and battery module; the wireless transmission module includes a wireless microcontroller CC3235 and a radio frequency transceiver CC2500;

[0089] Signal acquisition chip: used to amplify and filter the collected EEG signals and surface EMG signals, and convert the analog signals into high-resolution digital signals through a 24-bit analog-to-digital converter, completing the amplification, filtering and digital processing of 64-channel EEG signals or surface EMG signals;

[0090] Nine-axis acceleration sensor MPU-9250: used to collect acceleration data of the human body, provide motion-related data support for the synchronization of EEG signals and surface electromyography signals, and provide a data basis for monitoring posture and motion trajectory;

[0091] Microcontroller STM32: used to integrate the EEG and surface electromyography data processed by the signal acquisition chip and the acceleration data collected by the nine-axis acceleration sensor MPU-9250, and transmit the integrated data to the wireless microcontroller CC3235;

[0092] Wireless microcontroller CC3235: communicates with the base station system in real time through the RF wireless circuit, and is used to synchronously package and send the integrated data from the microcontroller STM32 to the base station system. At the same time, it sends the synchronization control instructions sent by the base station system to the microcontroller STM32 to control the start and stop of signal acquisition and time synchronization of each signal acquisition and transmission unit;

[0093] RF transceiver CC2500: used to receive the synchronization control instructions of the base station system and send the synchronization control instructions of the base station system to the wireless microcontroller CC3235;

[0094] The power control and battery module includes a power control unit and a battery unit: The power control unit adopts a low-voltage difference linear voltage regulator circuit design, which ensures the stability of the power supply voltage by adjusting the linear output of the P-MOS tube and minimizes power frequency interference; the battery unit uses a lithium-ion battery to power the entire signal acquisition and transmission unit, which can support the signal acquisition and transmission unit to work continuously for more than four hours and the standby time exceeds ten hours, ensuring the smooth progress of long-term experiments. It can also be charged through the power management and charging module of the base station system;

[0095] The high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system has achieved a miniaturized and portable design, ensuring wearing comfort and stability for long-term use. The design integrates the acquisition, processing and transmission functions of EEG and surface EMG signals, supports wireless communication, and is suitable for synchronous acquisition in multiple scenarios. The high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system can simultaneously acquire EEG and surface EMG signals, and perform high-precision data sampling from 16 to 24 bits. The signal sampling rate can reach 30KSps (30,000 samples per second), and supports up to 64 channels of data acquisition. The signal acquisition and transmission units can be freely combined according to the number of electrode channels in each high-density EEG electrode array and high-density EMG electrode array, and the number of electrodes is an integer multiple of 64. The data is sent to the base station system through the wireless transmission module, and Wi-Fi is used for low-latency data transmission. At the same time, the human body acceleration signal is obtained through the nine-axis acceleration sensor MPU-9250.

[0096] The high-density EEG (HD-EEG) and high-density surface EMG (HD-sEMG) signals collected by the high-density EEG and surface EMG signal acquisition system contain noise and artifacts. In order to prevent the high-frequency components in the signal from causing aliasing during the sampling process, the system first performs anti-aliasing filtering on the collected HD-EEG and HD-sEMG signals to remove useless frequency components above the Nyquist frequency to ensure the accuracy of the sampled signals. HD-EEG and HD-sEMG signals contain a large amount of low-frequency noise (such as electrode drift, motion artifacts) and high-frequency noise (such as power supply noise). These interferences are removed by high-pass and low-pass filtering. For HD-EEG signals, a 0.5Hz high-pass filter is often used to eliminate low-frequency drift, and a 50Hz or 60Hz low-pass filter is used to suppress power supply interference and high-frequency noise. For HD-sEMG signals, a 20Hz high-pass filter is used to remove low-frequency motion artifacts, and a 500Hz low-pass filter is used to remove high-frequency noise, retaining effective surface EMG signals in the range of 20-500Hz. HD-EEG signals are often interfered by biological artifacts such as electrooculogram (EOG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). Independent component analysis (ICA) or filter technology is used to remove these artifacts to retain pure brain electrical activity. For HD-sEMG signals, bandpass filtering can effectively reduce low-frequency and high-frequency noise in surface electromyography signals. Electrodes will cause baseline drift during long-term acquisition, especially in HD-EEG signals, where baseline drift may affect signal stability. These slow wave changes can be eliminated through baseline correction algorithms to ensure that the signal remains within a reasonable range.

[0097] The system automatically evaluates the signal quality of each channel and identifies abnormal channels due to poor electrode contact or other problems. If the signal quality of some channels is poor, the system will automatically mark and notify the user so that adjustments can be made or the data of these channels can be removed during subsequent processing.

The network consists of many nodes and edges connecting the nodes. Each signal channel represents a node in the network, and the connection between channels represents an edge in the network. The size of the coherence value or causal relationship measurement value represents the connection strength of the edge in the network. The larger the coherence value or causal relationship measurement value, the closer the connection between the nodes, that is, the stronger the coupling between the channel signals.
