Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive brain science technique that indirectly assesses brain function by measuring metabolic changes associated with neural activity (e.g., changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin in blood vessels). It offers excellent temporal and spatial resolution, flexibility, and portability, making it suitable for a wide range of subjects. Therefore, it has become a key technique for both basic brain research and clinical brain function assessment. Each signal channel in an fNIRS device consists of a transmitting and receiving photodee. Light emitted by the light source passes through the scalp, skull, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and gray matter, where it is scattered and absorbed before being received by the probe. The signal quality can be affected by factors such as the optical power of the transmitting photodee, the contact between the transmitting and receiving photodee and the subject's scalp, and the hair volume, scalp oiliness, and skull thickness at the locations of the transmitting and receiving photodeee.

[0003] Attachment Figure 1 This is a diagram of the layout of a near-infrared hat. S represents the light source, which emits two wavelengths of light: 690nm and 830nm. D represents the detector, which receives the light from the corresponding light sources. If the light intensity is insufficient, light will be scattered and absorbed, preventing it from being received by the detector. Therefore, the intensity of each light source must be sufficient. The device also uses an APD (Avalanche Photodiode) to convert the received light into a voltage. The stronger the received light, the higher the voltage. Due to hardware limitations, the APD can only withstand a limited voltage. When the detector receives light from different light sources, the APD converts the light into electricity. If the voltage exceeds a threshold, saturation will occur. To ensure a high signal-to-noise ratio for the received signal and to meet the varying light intensity requirements at different locations, the light intensity of each light source must be appropriately adjusted based on the location of each channel. Excessive light intensity can also cause saturation of the light received by the detector.

[0004] The light intensity is adjusted by the light power level, which is 0-2 N -1 of 2 NThe traditional method is to try different levels in sequence to ensure that the light is strong enough without saturation. However, this method not only consumes a lot of computation but also increases the calculation time (usually taking 30-60 seconds or even longer), which is not suitable for practical application scenarios. In addition, when the user adjusts the position of the optode, it is impossible to automatically calibrate it in real time based on the latest signal conditions, and a new round of calibration must be started again, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the long optical power level calibration time issue, the present invention provides a fast, automated optical power calibration method based on fNIRS equipment. Through half-iteration, the optical power level of each light source at different wavelengths is rapidly determined, significantly reducing the number of adjustments, greatly improving computational efficiency, and enabling real-time computational updates.

[0019] All light sources emitting light of the first wavelength are turned off, and all light sources emitting light of the second wavelength are turned on. Based on the set initial optical power level of the second wavelength, the power level is set to 2. n The optical power level is iteratively calibrated for the interval until a final optical power level corresponding to the second wavelength is obtained.

[0022] When the maximum voltage of all probes around each light source obtained within the first preset time is less than the first voltage threshold, increase by 2 n Interval, n is the power of the previous iterative calibration process minus one.

[0023] As a further technical solution, the calibrated optical power level is:

[0024]

[0025] Here, ± indicates whether to add or subtract based on the comparison result between the maximum voltage corresponding to the current optical power level and the first voltage threshold.

[0026] As a further technical solution, the maximum voltage of all probes around each light source obtained within the second preset time period is compared with the second voltage threshold, further comprising:

[0027] When the maximum voltage of all probes around each light source obtained within the second preset time period is greater than or equal to the second voltage threshold, the light source is considered to be saturated, and a new round of optical power calibration is started.

[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, “first” and “second” are only used for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the order unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0046] See also Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention provides a fast and automated optical power calibration method based on fNIRS equipment. First, the initial optical power level is determined to be 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, 2 nThe optical power level is iteratively calibrated at intervals, where n is an integer and is less than N-1. Subsequently, during the iterative calibration process, when the number of calibrations is less than or equal to N-1, the maximum voltage of all probes around each light source obtained within a first preset time period is compared with a first voltage threshold, and the optical power level is adjusted according to the comparison result until the number of calibrations is greater than N-1, and the calibrated optical power level is output. Finally, all light sources are turned on at the calibrated optical power level, the maximum voltage of all probes around each light source obtained within a second preset time period is compared with a second voltage threshold, and the signal quality of each channel is obtained based on the comparison result, and then a decision is made whether to start a new round of optical power calibration based on the signal quality of each channel.

[0047] This embodiment of the present invention uses a semi-iterative approach to rapidly determine the optical power levels of each light source at different wavelengths, significantly reducing the number of adjustments and improving computational efficiency. Furthermore, this embodiment uses semi-iterative analysis to adjust and update optical power levels in real time, promptly, accurately, and efficiently analyzing the appropriate optical power level for each light source in the current state, thereby improving device stability.

[0048] See also Figure 3 Taking the optical power level of 0-511, a total of 512 levels, as an example, the automatic calibration method of the present invention is used to adjust the optical power level of each light source wavelength of 690nm and 830nm, including the following steps:

[0049] 1. Set all 830nm optical power levels to 255 and turn off all 830nm light sources.

[0050] 2. Set all 690nm optical power levels to 255 and turn off all 690nm light sources. Wait 200 milliseconds for the device to stabilize, then turn on all 690nm light sources.

[0051] 3. Wait for 100 milliseconds, read the APD voltage peaks of all detectors around each light source for 10 consecutive milliseconds and take the maximum value. Adjust the optical power level according to the voltage value. If the voltage value is greater than or equal to A volt (the hardware upper limit is A+0.2 volt, with a 0.2 volt upper limit redundancy reserved), adjust it down, otherwise adjust it up. For example, when the optical power level is 127, the APD measured peak voltage is 3 volts (greater than A), then adjust it down. The optical power level after the adjustment is 255-2 7 = 2 8 -1-2 7 =127, if the peak voltage measured by APD is 1.8V (less than A), then it is adjusted upwards, and the optical power level after adjustment is 127+2 6 =191, repeat the judgment until 2 is added or subtracted 0 Determine the final optical power level. The optical power level formula is as follows:

[0052]

[0053] ± indicates whether the voltage is plus or minus based on the current optical power level.

[0054] 4. Turn off all 690nm light sources and turn on all 830nm light sources.

[0055] 5. Wait for 100 milliseconds, read the APD voltage peaks of all probes around each light source for 10 consecutive milliseconds and take the maximum value. Adjust the optical power level according to the voltage value. If the voltage value is greater than or equal to A volt, adjust it down; otherwise, adjust it up, as in step 3.

[0056] 6. Turn on all 690nm light sources. At this time, all 690nm and 830nm light sources are fully turned on.

[0057] 7. Wait 100 milliseconds, then read the peak APD voltages of all sensors around each light source for 10 milliseconds. Take the maximum value. If it is greater than or equal to B volts (B is the upper limit of the combined 690nm and 830nm wavelengths, B = A + 0.2 + A + 0.2 = 2A + 0.4), the light source is saturated. If it is less than B volts, further assess the signal quality. If the raw light intensity value exceeds threshold C (the raw light intensity threshold for a good signal) for two consecutive seconds, the channel color turns green, indicating a good signal. Otherwise, the channel color turns red, indicating poor signal quality.

[0058] 8. Repeat steps 1-7 above to adjust the optical power level and judge the signal quality of any current channel, providing a reference guide for the operator to adjust the photodiode cap.

[0059] By utilizing the above embodiment, the traditional 512 optical power level adjustments can be reduced to 9 times, which greatly improves the calibration efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that the time limits in the above solutions, such as waiting for 100 milliseconds, reading for 10 milliseconds, and waiting for 200 milliseconds, can be adjusted according to actual conditions and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0061] In other embodiments, for example, taking the optical power level of 0-1023, a total of 1024 levels, the optical power level of each light source wavelength of 690nm and 830nm is adjusted using the automated calibration method of the present invention. The other steps are the same as the above embodiment. The optical power level formula is:

[0062]

[0063] It can be seen that by using the method of the present invention, the traditional 1024 optical power level adjustments can be reduced to 10 times, greatly improving the calibration efficiency.
