Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of neural modulation and brain function modeling technology, specifically to an epilepsy electroacupuncture treatment target assessment system based on amygdala neural response prediction. Background Technology
[0002] Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. Its seizures take many forms and involve complex abnormal neural network activity. Currently, commonly used clinical treatments include medication, surgical resection, and neuromodulation. Among these, electroacupuncture, as a non-invasive neuromodulation method, has been widely studied because it can regulate central nervous system activity and improve functional connectivity in brain regions through stimulation of specific acupoints. However, the efficacy of electroacupuncture for epilepsy exhibits significant individual differences, with key issues lying in the insufficient accuracy of identifying effective stimulation targets and predicting neural responses.
[0003] Traditional methods for assessing electroacupuncture targets often rely on experience or single EEG indicators, lacking multimodal dynamic coupling analysis of brain regions related to emotion and seizure regulation, such as the amygdala, thalamus, and cortex, and thus failing to reflect complex neural network interactions. Furthermore, current technologies for detecting electroacupuncture stimulation responses largely remain at the EEG signal level, lacking fusion processing with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and other brain functional imaging signals. This results in limited target localization accuracy and makes it difficult to achieve a comprehensive assessment of individualized neurological responses in patients.
[0004] During electroacupuncture treatment, brain responses exhibit time-varying and plasticity. Subtle adjustments to stimulation parameters (such as frequency, pulse width, and waveform) can affect neural synchronization patterns and firing activity in key brain regions like the amygdala. Existing electroacupuncture systems generally lack real-time feedback mechanisms and adaptive adjustment strategies, making it impossible to automatically correct stimulation parameters based on changes in neural plasticity during treatment. This can easily lead to unstable therapeutic effects or overstimulation. Summary of the Invention

If it does, a comprehensive parameter dataset is generated; if it does not, dynamic correction of the stimulus parameters is triggered until the response meets the standard. The neural effect coupling analysis module is used to cluster and spatially reconstruct electrical stimulation response features based on a comprehensive parameter set and a brain region function mapping matrix, generating a candidate set of electroacupuncture targets; for each candidate target, the neural response propagation delay is extracted. amygdala-thalamus-cortex co-coupling coefficient Epilepsy wavefront retrospective time Calculate the comprehensive target evaluation coefficient The target is compared with the target validity threshold Tth. If a target is deemed valid, it is included in the set of valid targets. If a target is deemed invalid, it is removed and the analysis iteration is re-executed.

This significantly improves the accuracy and timeliness of amygdala response prediction, providing a reliable quantitative basis for subsequent target assessment and stimulation parameter optimization.
[0028] Example 4: This example is an explanation of Example 3. Please refer to the example provided. Figure 1 Specifically, the first calculation unit is used to construct the amygdala prediction index ARI by using the acquired epilepsy abnormal synchronicity characteristic parameters, including phase lock value (PLV), power spectral density parameter (PSD), abnormal synchronization ratio (ASR), emotion regulation connectivity strength (EAC), and situational perturbation strength (Cctx), after dimensionless normalization. The formula is as follows: ; In the formula, a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 represent weighting coefficients; The phase-locked value (PLV) characterizes the impact of the amygdala predictive response index. It has a high weight and is a key indicator that directly reflects the contribution of abnormal discharge synchronization to the amygdala's excitation state. The power spectral density (PSD) characterizes the effect of the amygdala predicted response index, accounting for a moderate weight, and reflects the modulation effect of the discharge energy distribution on the intensity of the amygdala response. The anomalous synchronization ratio (ASR) represents the influence of the amygdala predictive response index, and has a moderate weight, reflecting the degree of disturbance of the stability of the amygdala response caused by thalamic-cortical synchronization abnormalities. The influence of Emotion Regulation Connection Strength (EAC) on the amygdala predictive response index is represented by a moderate weight, reflecting the buffering effect of the emotional network's regulatory capacity on amygdala abnormal activation. The influence of situational perturbation intensity Cctx on the amygdala predictive response index is characterized by a minor weight, reflecting the inhibitory effect of external environmental stimuli or cognitive load on the amygdala response threshold.

A preliminary target assessment model is automatically generated, and a comprehensive parameter set Mtarget including local neural potential characteristics, synaptic response coupling strength and pathway activation weight is recorded. When the amygdala predicts the corresponding index ARI < amygdala response threshold Ath, it indicates that the amygdala response under the current stimulation parameters has not met the standard, triggering the first warning instruction and generating the first strategy: dynamically reducing the step size of the electroacupuncture stimulation frequency, adjusting the pulse width and waveform duty cycle, and combining the optimal parameter range of similar individuals in historical data to generate a set of corrected stimulation parameters, re-collecting data, and recalculating until the amygdala predicts the corresponding index ARI ≥ amygdala response threshold Ath.
[0031] The amygdala response threshold (Ath) was obtained by statistically analyzing EEG and fMRI data from a large number of epilepsy patients and healthy controls. The amplitude changes in electrical activity and the distribution range of blood flow response amplitude in the amygdala region under electrical stimulation or emotionally induced tasks were extracted. Combining the characteristics of neural signal propagation with the physiological safety limits of electroacupuncture stimulation, the stability and reversibility of the amygdala's response under different stimulation intensities were comprehensively analyzed. Referring to neuromodulation safety guidelines, quantitative analysis standards for medical imaging, and the experience of clinical experts, a reasonable amygdala response threshold (Ath) was finally determined to accurately reflect the sensitivity of the amygdala to electroacupuncture stimulation, enabling early identification of abnormal excitation responses and ensuring the safety of neuromodulation.
[0032] In this embodiment, a dynamic calculation and adaptive judgment mechanism for the amygdala predictive response index (ARI) is realized by setting up a first calculation unit and a first analysis unit. This module normalizes and fuses multimodal neural feature parameters to construct a quantitative response index, and compares it with a preset threshold Ath in real time to accurately determine the response state of the amygdala under the current electroacupuncture stimulation parameters. When the response is insufficient, the system can automatically generate a parameter correction strategy, dynamically adjust the stimulation frequency, pulse width, and waveform duty cycle, forming a closed-loop optimization process. This can effectively improve the individualized adaptability of electroacupuncture stimulation and the accuracy of target response matching, and significantly improve the stability and efficacy consistency of amygdala regulation during epilepsy treatment.

Characterizing the delay in neural response propagation and the amygdala-thalamus-cortex co-coupling coefficient The impact on target assessment results has the second highest weight, reflecting the synergy of signal propagation between neural circuits and the effectiveness of target regulation; : Characterizes the influence of the local magnification correction coefficient on the cooperative coupling strength, and has a high weight, reflecting the weight correction ratio of the coupling characteristics of the target region under different neural pathways; This characterizes the impact of neural response propagation delay on target assessment results, and has a minor weight, reflecting the constraint effect of target response delay on neural signal transmission efficiency and control timing. By constructing a comprehensive target evaluation coefficient that is weighted by wavefront advance, synergistic coupling strength, and propagation delay, the regulatory potential of the target region in multi-pathway signal propagation can be quantified, providing a decision-making basis for the dynamic screening and optimization of effective therapeutic targets.
[0038] The second analysis unit is used to pass a preset target effectiveness threshold Tth and integrate the comprehensive target evaluation coefficient. A comparative analysis was performed with the target effectiveness threshold Tth to obtain the second evaluation results, including: When the comprehensive target evaluation coefficient When the value is greater than or equal to the target effectiveness threshold Tth, it indicates that the current target's neural effect is qualified, and the current target is determined to be an effective target and included in the effective target set Teff for continuous monitoring. When the comprehensive target evaluation coefficient When the value is less than the target effectiveness threshold Tth, it indicates that the current target's neural effect is unqualified. The current target is determined to be an invalid target, triggering a second warning instruction and generating a second strategy: remove the current target, update the electroacupuncture target candidate set Tcand, and re-execute the target generation and coupling analysis process until all target evaluations are completed.
[0039] The target effectiveness threshold Tth was obtained by systematically statistically analyzing and modeling the distribution of neural effect parameters from multiple patients under electroacupuncture stimulation. Typical distribution intervals of the comprehensive target evaluation coefficient were extracted by analyzing the functional improvement rate, changes in epileptic seizure frequency, and the degree of recovery of the emotion regulation network after stimulation of different targets. Combining the stability constraints of the neural function remodeling model and the clinical reproducibility of target responses, and referencing the effect evaluation standards in the field of brain function regulation and the target identification experience of clinicians, a reasonable target effectiveness threshold was determined to accurately distinguish between qualified and unqualified targets, thereby improving the scientific rigor and reliability of target selection.
[0040] In this embodiment, a comprehensive target evaluation coefficient is introduced. The computational mechanism enables the quantitative identification and dynamic optimization of electroacupuncture treatment targets for epilepsy. This method comprehensively considers key parameters such as neural response propagation delay, synergistic coupling strength, and epileptic wavefront retrospective time. It utilizes dimensionless normalization and weighted calculation to achieve multi-index fusion evaluation, which not only improves the objectivity and accuracy of target evaluation, but also automatically identifies and eliminates invalid targets by comparing them with the target effectiveness threshold Tth, dynamically updates the candidate set, and forms a closed-loop optimization process, thereby significantly improving the certainty of electroacupuncture treatment targets and the precision of neural modulation.

Figure 1 Specifically, the neural response feedback adjustment module includes a comprehensive neural feedback acquisition unit, a third calculation unit, and a third analysis unit; The integrated neurofeedback acquisition unit is used for the implementation of treatment plans based on the effective target set Teff, and for real-time monitoring of neurofeedback data during continuous treatment cycles. It also acquires electrical activity signals from the patient's cerebral cortex in real time using an EEG electrode array, and employs time-series analysis and signal transformation techniques to obtain the rate of change in electrical activity in the amygdala region. Epilepsy waveform signals were acquired in real time using an EEG electrode array, and the power change rate of the epilepsy waves was obtained using wavelet transform and power spectrum analysis methods. Combining fMRI and PET scans, we monitored blood flow changes and metabolic activity in the anterior cingulate cortex and amygdala. Using dynamic causal modeling (DCM) and correlation modeling methods, we obtained the rate of change in the strength of the emotion regulation network. .
[0042] In this embodiment, a neural response feedback adjustment module was implemented to achieve dynamic monitoring and adaptive regulation of the patient's brain neural activity during electroacupuncture treatment. This module integrates multimodal data from EEG, fMRI, and PET, extracting key indicators such as the rate of change in amygdala electrical activity, the rate of change in epileptic wave power, and the rate of change in the strength of the emotion regulation network, constructing a high-dimensional neural feedback dataset to provide continuous quantitative evidence for the therapeutic effect of the target. Through real-time feedback and modeling analysis, the neuromodulation effect can be dynamically evaluated during treatment, and stimulation parameters can be adjusted in a timely manner to achieve individualized and precise electroacupuncture treatment strategies, thereby significantly improving the stability of therapeutic effects and the efficiency of neurological function recovery.
[0043] Example 9: This example is an explanation of Example 8. Please refer to the example provided. Figure 1 Specifically, the third calculation unit is used to acquire the rate of change of electrical activity. The rate of change of power of epileptic waves and the rate of change in the strength of the emotion regulation network After dimensionless normalization, the neural plasticity correction index (NPI) is calculated using the following formula: ;
[0044] In the formula, s1, s2 and s3 represent weighting coefficients.
[0045] The amygdala electrical activity rate is a key indicator that characterizes the impact of changes in amygdala electrical activity on the neural plasticity correction index. It has a high weight and directly reflects the contribution of changes in neural discharge intensity to the trend of plasticity remodeling. The epileptic wave power change rate characterizes the effect of the neural plasticity correction index, accounting for a medium weight, and reflects the regulatory effect of abnormal wave energy decay or enhancement on neural stability. This index represents the impact of the rate of change in the strength of the emotion regulation network on the neural plasticity correction index, and has the second highest weight, reflecting the supporting role of changes in emotion network activity in the recovery of neural plasticity. By constructing a neural plasticity correction index that is a weighted fusion of the rate of change of electrical activity, the rate of change of power spectrum, and the rate of change of emotional network strength, we can comprehensively assess the neurological functional adaptability and stability of patients during continuous treatment cycles, providing a basis for optimizing individualized stimulation strategies and controlling the closed-loop feedback of therapeutic effects.
[0046] In this embodiment, by setting up a third calculation unit and introducing a computational mechanism for the Neuroplasticity Modified Index (NPI), a quantitative assessment of the degree of functional recovery in brain regions after electroacupuncture stimulation is achieved. This index comprehensively considers three types of dynamic parameters: enhanced amygdala electrical activity, suppression of epileptic wave power, and increased strength of the emotion regulation network. After dimensionless normalization and weighted fusion processing, it accurately reflects the trend of plasticity changes in the nervous system during continuous treatment cycles. This allows for precise tracking of the neural function reconstruction process, providing a scientific basis for optimizing electroacupuncture parameters and adjusting individualized treatment courses, thereby improving the targeting and duration of neuromodulation.
[0047] Example 10: This example is an explanation of Example 8. Please refer to the example provided. Figure 1 Specifically, the third analysis unit is used to preset the plasticity stabilization threshold Nth, and compare the neural plasticity correction index NPI with the plasticity stabilization threshold Nth to obtain the third evaluation result, including: When the neural plasticity correction index NPI is greater than or equal to the plasticity stability threshold Nth, it indicates that neural plasticity is stable under the current treatment state. The current treatment plan should be maintained and continuous monitoring should be carried out. When the neural plasticity correction index NPI is less than the plasticity stability threshold Nth, it indicates that the neural plasticity is unstable under the current treatment state, triggering the third warning instruction and generating the third strategy: automatically executing parameter correction, increasing the intensity of low-frequency stimulation; adjusting the waveform to a biphasic decreasing mode; extending the stimulation period and reducing the overlap rate of adjacent target points; and simultaneously updating the neural response database and the prediction model weight matrix to form an adaptive feedback closed loop.
[0048] The method for obtaining the plasticity stability threshold Nth: Based on longitudinal analysis of neurofeedback data within consecutive treatment cycles, the changing trend and steady-state distribution range of the neuroplasticity correction index (NPI) are extracted. By statistically analyzing the long-term fluctuation characteristics of the rate of change in emotion regulation network strength, the rate of change in epileptic wave power, and the rate of change in amygdala electrical activity in different patients, their correlation with treatment efficacy, seizure control rate, and neural network reconstruction stability is analyzed. Referring to clinical evaluation criteria for neuroplasticity regulation, steady-state response thresholds for neurofeedback therapy, and the practical experience of neurorehabilitation experts, this threshold is formulated to accurately reflect the stability of the neuroplasticity state, achieving adaptive parameter correction during treatment and maintaining long-term efficacy.
[0049] In this embodiment, by setting a third analysis unit and introducing a plasticity stability threshold Nth, dynamic discrimination and adaptive control of the neural plasticity state during treatment are achieved. When the neural plasticity correction index NPI is lower than the threshold, the system can automatically trigger a parameter correction strategy to intelligently adjust the stimulation intensity, waveform pattern, and stimulation cycle, and simultaneously update the neural response database and model weight matrix, forming a closed-loop optimization process. This design significantly improves the adaptability and safety of electroacupuncture therapy, enabling the system to maintain the optimal stimulation state in real time during fluctuations in neural plasticity, promoting stable remodeling of neural function and long-term efficacy maintenance.
[0050] The threshold is set to facilitate comparison. The size of the threshold depends on the amount of sample data and the number of bases set by those skilled in the art for each set of sample data; as long as it does not affect the ratio between the parameter and the quantized value, it is acceptable.
