Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fast and automatic optical power calibration method and device based on an fNIRS device. Background Art

[0002] Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology is a non-invasive brain science technology means. It indirectly evaluates the brain function status by measuring the metabolic changes (such as oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin in blood vessels) accompanying nerve activities, has good temporal and spatial resolutions, and also has good flexibility and portability, and can be applied to the vast majority of subject groups. Therefore, it has currently become the main technology means for basic brain science research and clinical brain function status evaluation. Each signal channel of the fNIRS device is jointly composed of a transmitting optical pole and a receiving optical pole. The light emitted by the light source passes through the scalp, skull, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and gray matter in sequence, scatters and is absorbed therein, and finally is received by the probe. The light power of the light source of the transmitting optical pole, whether the transmitting optical pole and the receiving optical pole are in good contact with the scalp of the subject, the hair volume, scalp oil, and skull thickness at the positions where the transmitting and receiving optical poles are located, etc. will all affect the signal quality.

[0003] Appendix Figure 1 Shown is an arrangement diagram of a near-infrared hat. S represents the light source, which is used to emit two kinds of light with wavelengths of 690nm and 830nm. D represents the probe, which is used to receive the light emitted by the corresponding light source. When the light intensity is not large enough, there will be a phenomenon that the light is not strong enough to be received by the probe after scattering and absorption. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the light intensity of each light source is strong enough. At the same time, the device uses an APD (Avalanche Photodiode) to convert the received light into voltage, and the stronger the received light, the greater the voltage. Due to hardware limitations, the voltage that the APD can withstand is limited. That is, when the probe receives the light from different light sources and the APD converts the light into electricity, if the voltage value is greater than the threshold, a saturation phenomenon will occur. In order to ensure a higher signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal for the light at different transmitting light sources and receiving probe positions, and to meet the inconsistent requirements for the light intensity at different positions, it is necessary to reasonably adjust the light intensity of each light source according to the different positions of each channel. However, too high light intensity will also cause the light received by the probe to saturate.

[0004] The magnitude of the light intensity is adjusted by the optical power level, and the optical power level is 0 - 2 N -1, a total of 2 NFor each level, the traditional method is to sequentially try different levels so that the light does not saturate under the premise of being strong enough. However, this method not only consumes computational power but also increases the calculation time (usually taking 30 - 60 seconds or even longer), which does not conform to the actual application scenario. In addition, when the user adjusts the position of the optode, real-time automatic calibration cannot be performed according to the latest signal situation, and a new round of calibration needs to be restarted, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, "first" and "second" are only used for illustrative purposes and do not limit the order unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a fast automatic optical power calibration method based on an fNIRS device. First, determine that the initial optical power level is 2 N-1 -1, where N represents the power corresponding to the total optical power level of the light source; then, based on the initial optical power level, with 2 nFor interval iterative calibration of the optical power level, n is an integer and less than N - 1; subsequently, during the iterative calibration process, when the calibration times are less than or equal to N - 1, compare the maximum voltage of all the probes around each light source obtained within the first preset duration with the first voltage threshold, and adjust the optical power level according to the comparison result until the calibration times are greater than N - 1, then output the calibrated optical power level; finally, turn on all the light sources with the calibrated optical power level, compare the maximum voltage of all the probes around each light source obtained within the second preset duration with the second voltage threshold, and obtain the signal quality of each channel according to the comparison result, and then determine whether to start a new round of optical power calibration according to the signal quality of each channel.

[0027] The embodiment of the present invention can quickly determine the optical power levels of different wavelengths of each light source through a semi-iterative method, greatly reducing the adjustment times and improving the calculation efficiency. Further, through semi-iterative analysis, the embodiment of the present invention adjusts and updates the optical power level in real time, and timely, accurately and effectively analyzes the optical power level of each kind of light suitable for the current state, improving the equipment stability.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , taking 512 levels from 0 to 511 of the optical power level as an example, using the automatic calibration method of the present invention to adjust the optical power levels of the wavelengths 690nm and 830nm of each light source, including the following steps: 1. Set the optical power levels of all 830nm to 255 and turn off all 830nm light sources.

[0029] 2. Set the optical power levels of all 690nm to 255 and turn off all 690nm light sources. Wait for 200 milliseconds. After the equipment is stable, turn on all 690nm light sources.

[0030] 3. Wait for 100 milliseconds, read the peak voltage of the APD of all the probes around each light source continuously for 10 milliseconds and take the maximum value, and adjust the optical power level according to this voltage value. If this voltage value is greater than or equal to A volts (the hardware upper limit is A + 0.2 volts, reserving 0.2 volts of upper limit redundancy), lower it, otherwise raise it. For example, when the optical power level is 127, the peak voltage measured by the APD is 3 volts (greater than A), then lower it. The lowered optical power level is 255 - 2 7 = 2 8 -1 - 2 7 = 127. If the peak voltage measured by the APD is 1.8 volts (less than A) at this time, then raise it. The raised optical power level is 127 + 2 6 = 191. Repeat the judgment like this until adding or subtracting 2 0 to determine the final optical power level. In summary, the optical power level formula is as follows:

[0031] Wherein, ± indicates addition or subtraction determined according to the voltage at the current optical power level.

[0032] 4. Turn off all 690 nm light sources and turn on all 830 nm light sources.

[0033] 5. Wait for 100 milliseconds, read the peak voltage of all the probe APDs around each light source for 10 consecutive milliseconds and take the maximum value. Adjust the optical power level according to this voltage value. If this voltage value is greater than or equal to A volts, lower it; otherwise, raise it, the same as step 3.

[0034] 6. Turn on all 690 nm light sources. At this time, all 690 nm and 830 nm light sources are fully on.

[0035] 7. Wait for 100 milliseconds, read the peak voltage of all the probe APDs around each light source for 10 milliseconds and take the maximum value. If it is greater than or equal to B volts (B is the upper limit when 690 nm and 830 nm are added together, B = A + 0.2 + A + 0.2 = 2A + 0.4), then the light source is saturated. If it is less than B volts, further judge the signal quality. When the original light intensity value within 2 consecutive seconds is greater than the threshold C (the original light intensity threshold for good signal), the channel color is green indicating good signal. Otherwise, the channel color is red indicating poor signal quality.

[0036] 8. The above steps 1 - 7 are executed in a loop, adjusting the optical power level in a loop and judging the signal quality of any current channel, providing a reference guide for the operator to adjust the optical pole cap.

[0037] Using the above embodiments, the traditional 512 - time optical power level adjustment can be reduced to 9 times, greatly improving the calibration efficiency.

[0038] It should be noted that the time limits such as waiting for 100 milliseconds, reading for 10 milliseconds, waiting for 200 milliseconds, etc. in the above scheme can all be adjusted according to the actual situation and are not limitations to the present invention.

[0039] In other embodiments, for example, taking the optical power level from 0 to 1023 with a total of 1024 levels as an example, using the automatic calibration method of the present invention to adjust the optical power levels of light sources with wavelengths of 690 nm and 830 nm for each light source, the other steps are the same as the previous embodiments, and the optical power level formula is:

[0040] It can be seen that using the method of the present invention, the traditional 1024 - time optical power level adjustment can be reduced to 10 times, greatly improving the calibration efficiency.

[0041] The implementation basis of each embodiment of the present invention is achieved through programmed processing by a device with processor functions. Therefore, in engineering practice, the technical solutions and functions of each embodiment of the present invention are encapsulated into various modules.
