Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to neuromodulation techniques, and in particular, to a method for establishing and measuring a parameter model of an electrode-skin contact surface. Background Art

[0002] Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a technique for non-invasively regulating cortical nerve activity using low-intensity currents. By adjusting the stimulation location, current intensity, and waveform, the regulation purpose can be achieved, and it has been widely used in the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, rehabilitation of brain function injuries, cognitive function regulation, etc. The transcranial electrical stimulation device uses electrodes attached to the scalp to conduct the stimulation current, and usually a conductive medium (such as conductive paste, conductive gel, saline, etc.) is added between the electrode and the skin to reduce the contact impedance.

[0003] During the electrical stimulation process, skin damage is likely to occur, and the current damage mechanism is not yet clear. The occurrence of skin damage is related to various factors, including stimulation intensity, current density, conductive medium, skin condition, etc. Among these factors, reducing the stimulation intensity seems to be an absolutely effective option for reducing the risk of skin damage, but at the cost of reducing the stimulation intensity in the target area, it is not the optimal choice in most cases. In addition, these influencing factors can directly or indirectly affect the characteristics of the electrode-skin interface. For example, changes in current density may reflect whether the contact between the electrode and the skin is uniform and sufficient; changes in the electrode-tissue contact resistance may reflect changes in skin condition or conductive medium.

[0004] Therefore, obtaining detailed parameters of the electrode-skin contact surface helps to accurately evaluate the electrode-skin contact condition and understand the electrode-tissue characteristics, and provides assistance for reducing skin damage and promoting electrode design.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present application, after multiplying the two carrier signals with the voltage signal, the signal is passed through a low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency lower than twice the carrier frequency and a passband gain of 2.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present application, the two carrier signals are respectively:

[0025]

[0026] According to some embodiments of the present application, one of the carrier signals Ci(t) is a current signal I(t), and performing a Hilbert transform on Ci(t) can obtain another carrier signal Cq(t).

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This embodiment provides a method for establishing a parameter model of an electrode-skin contact surface, and its establishment idea is as follows:

[0050] When a metal electrode is placed in a physiological medium such as human tissue fluid, an interface will be formed between the two phases. In the metal electrode and the circuit system, charges are carried by electrons, while in the physiological medium, charges are carried by ions, including sodium ions, potassium ions, and chloride ions in the extracellular fluid. When the tissue is electrically stimulated, the charge carriers are converted from electrons in the metal electrode to ions in the electrolyte. This process involves two electrochemical mechanisms: non-Faraday reaction and Faraday reaction. In the non-Faraday reaction, the charge transfer does not involve the oxidation-reduction reaction of chemical substances, but a double-layer structure is formed on both sides of the interface. The enrichment or diffusion of charges on both sides of the double layer transfers current, and the electrical characteristics of this process are very similar to those of a flat capacitor. Therefore, the electrode-electrolyte interface capacitance is usually called the double-layer capacitance; in the Faraday reaction, the charge transfer is accompanied by the oxidation-reduction reaction of chemical substances, which is the process of electrons directly transferring from the electrode to the ions in the solution and follows Faraday's law, so it is called the Faraday reaction.

[0051] In the actual electrode-tissue interface, both of these reactions exist simultaneously, and the impedance model can be represented by an equivalent circuit as shown in Figure 1 The double-layer capacitance CPE formed by the non-Faraday reaction and the resistance R2 formed by the Faraday process are connected in parallel, and then connected in series with the resistance R1 of the biological tissue and the electrolyte. The model also includes the polarization voltage E formed by the electrode in the electrolyte solution.

[0052] Affected by the electrochemical effect, the impedance characteristics of the double-layer capacitance are different from those of an ideal capacitor. Its impedance phase angle is an approximately constant value. Therefore, a constant phase angle element (CPE) is used instead, and the impedance expression is as follows:

[0053]

[0054] Currently, the electrostimulation devices on the market generally have an impedance measurement function, which can measure the equivalent resistance between electrodes. The measurement of the equivalent resistance is affected by the excitation signal. The smaller the amplitude of the excitation signal, the higher the measured equivalent resistance. The excitation signals used by the devices of different manufacturers are different, resulting in different measured resistances under the same contact conditions, making the impedance measurement values between different devices not comparable.

[0055] In addition, the equivalent resistance reflects to a certain extent the characteristics of the contact surface between the electrode and the skin. However, the change in the contact condition between the electrode and the skin may be manifested as a change in the resistance and capacitance parameters, or as a change in the β of the CPE element, while the equivalent resistance remains unchanged. The equivalent circuit model of the contact surface cannot be fully described only by the equivalent resistance.

[0056] In order to describe the characteristics of the electrode-skin contact surface in more detail and stably, the present invention is based on Figure 1 the equivalent circuit model shown, and proposes a method for establishing a parameter model to quantify the characteristics of the electrode-skin contact surface. Due to the capacitive device formed by the double electric layer, the overall presents a complex impedance, and the complex impedance measurement circuit is as Figure 2 shown. The electrostimulation device outputs a current signal I(t) of a specific frequency and measures the voltage U(t) across the electrodes in real time. The complex impedance at the current frequency can be calculated through the amplitude and phase relationship between the voltage and the current. By measuring the values of the complex impedance at different frequencies, a curve of the impedance changing with frequency in the complex plane can be drawn, that is, the complex impedance spectrum. The complex impedance spectrum describes the information of the resistance (real part) and reactance (imaginary part) at different frequencies. These information can fit the parameters of the components in the model. In addition, when biological cells are placed in an alternating electric field, the dielectric response of the cells shows relaxation phenomena of α dispersion and β dispersion. Therefore, the impedance spectrum can also reflect the structural characteristics of the cells, which is crucial for quantifying, understanding, and optimizing the characteristics of the electrode-tissue interface.

[0057] From the perspective of modulation and demodulation, the voltage signal can be regarded as the result of the amplitude modulation of the complex impedance to the current signal. According to the principle of orthogonal demodulation, when a complex signal modulates a carrier in the amplitude modulation process, the real part and the imaginary part of the complex signal are respectively modulated onto two orthogonal carriers. During demodulation, the received signal is demodulated using the same two orthogonal carriers as in the modulation process, so as to respectively recover the two components of the original signal. Therefore, by demodulating the voltage signal, the change of the complex impedance with time can be obtained. If the carrier frequency is set as a function of time, the change of the complex impedance with time can be mapped into a curve of the complex impedance changing with frequency, that is, the complex impedance spectrum.

[0058] Based on the above idea, the method for establishing the parameter model of the electrode-skin contact surface in the embodiments of the present application includes the following steps: S100. Establish the electrode-skin complex impedance formula:

[0059] z(t) = a(t) + jb(t);

[0060] S200. Apply a continuous exponential swept-frequency current with an angular frequency of ω as an excitation signal to the stimulation electrode. The excitation signal is applied to both ends of the electrode, and the generated voltage is:

[0061] U(t) = z(t)e jωt ;

[0062] S300. Synchronously sample the voltage and current signals between the electrodes. Since the physical signal only contains the real part and cannot reflect the imaginary part, the actual obtained voltage signals U(t) and I(t) are as follows:

[0063]

[0064] The swept-frequency current and voltage waveforms are referred to Figure 3 ;

[0065] S400. Obtain two carrier signals;

[0066] S500. Multiply the two carrier signals with the voltage signal respectively to obtain the real part and the imaginary part of the complex impedance:

[0067]

[0068] Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 In (A) of Figure 4 shows the curves of the real part and the imaginary part of the complex impedance changing with frequency when the frequency changes from 3 Hz to 100 Hz,

[0069] In (B) of

[0070]

[0071] where R 1 , R 2 , K, β, and use the complex impedance spectrum to fit the model parameters.

[0072] Furthermore, the existence of exponential and trigonometric functions in the model greatly increases the difficulty of parameter fitting. According to the Cole-Cole theory, the calculation can be simplified. The Cole-Cole theory was proposed by KSCole and RHCole to describe the frequency characteristics of multipolar dielectrics. According to the theory, when the frequency changes from zero to infinity, the complex impedance depicts an arc. The coordinates of the origin and radius of the arc after fitting are:

[0073]

[0074] The arc intersects the real axis at two points (R 1 +R 2 ,0) and (R 1 ,0), corresponding to the frequency of 0 and infinity respectively. The angle between the intersection point and the center of the circle and the imaginary axis is πβ / 2. β is between 0 and 1, and the smaller β is, the lower the center of the circle is. When the frequency varies within a limited range, the actual measured complex impedance spectrum is part of a semicircular arc, and K determines the starting and ending positions of the arc.

[0075] Furthermore, the least squares method is used to fit the complex impedance spectrum into a circle, and R is calculated based on the center and radius of the circle and the intersection with the real axis. 1 , R 2 and β, and K is calculated based on the complex impedance spectrum. So far, the parameters of the electrode-skin equivalent circuit model can be obtained, and the fitting results and parameters are as follows: Figure 5 Parameter R 1 The negative value is because the real electrode-skin interface cannot fully explain the measurement data due to the influence of measurement level, frequency conditions, model complexity and other issues. Especially at high frequencies, the impedance spectrum is no longer a circular arc, which leads to negative values ​​in the fitting results. However, these parameters can still reflect the characteristic differences of the electrode-skin interface and should be regarded as characteristic parameters of the complex impedance spectrum.

[0076] Furthermore, after the two carrier signals are multiplied by the voltage signal, the signals are passed through a low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency lower than twice the carrier frequency and a passband gain of 2.

[0077] Specifically, for two carrier signals, they are:

[0078]

[0079] One of the carrier signals Ci(t) is a current signal I(t), and another carrier signal Cq(t) can be obtained by performing Hilbert transform on Ci(t).

[0084] S800. Calculate the complex impedance at the current frequency through the amplitude and phase relationship between the measured voltage U(t) and the current I(t);
