This invention discloses a drilling path planning method, storage medium, and device for cochlear implantation, belonging to the field of path planning technology in cochlear implantation. This invention solves the problems of low efficiency and easy introduction of path deviation in existing path planning methods. The invention preprocesses preoperative three-dimensional CT images and integrates anatomical structural models to extract three-dimensional spatial geometric information of key tissues within the temporal bone, including the facial nerve and cochlea. Subsequently, combined with prior medical knowledge, the drilling path for the cochlear implant electrode is automatically planned in three-dimensional space to minimize damage to key nerves and ensure surgical safety. The path planning method of this invention is applicable to cochlear implantation surgery assisted by medical robots, significantly reducing reliance on the doctor's subjective judgment, improving the individualized adaptability and efficiency of path design, and effectively avoiding path deviation caused by human subjective judgment. This invention can be applied to path planning in cochlear implantation surgery.

The system comprises: a head stabilization apparatus, a focusing and lighting apparatus, a specified camera, and a seat. The seat is arranged below the head stabilization apparatus, cooperates with the head stabilization apparatus, and is configured to provide a seat for a patient suffering from facial paralysis. The specified camera is arranged directly in front of the seat and faces the seat. The focusing and lighting apparatus is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the specified camera and faces the seat. The head stabilization apparatus is configured to provide support for a head position of said patient and calibrate the head position of said patient when the patient sits on the seat. The focusing and lighting apparatus is configured to adjust a photographing environment for said patient to a photographing environment that meets a target photographing requirement. The specified camera is cooperates with the focusing and lighting apparatus and is configured to record a facial nerve movement image of said patient when calibration of the head position of the patient and the photographing environment is completed.

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 10.2 to 12.2 parts of stiff silkworm, 10.4 to 12.4 parts of scorpion, 10.5 to 12.5 parts of rhizoma arisaematis, 10.4 to 12.4 parts of rhizoma typhonii, 10.3 to 12.3 parts of pinellia ternate, 10.4 to 12.4 parts of cantharides and 10.5 to 12.5 parts of red vitriol. The traditional Chinese medicine composition can effectively inhibit HSV-1 virus replication and treat facial paralysis caused by the HSV-1 virus, and overcomes the symptoms of head post-brain pain, ear post-brain pain, facial pain, neck pain, facial paralysis, eye exposure and lacrimation, eye fission, shallow or disappearing frontal marks, mouth rinsing water leakage, incapability of normally completing eye squeezing, nose rising or mouth pulling actions and the like. Animal experiments prove that the traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by the invention verifies the protection effect on HSV-1 infected facial nervous tissues from the dimensions of nucleic acid load, tissue infection dose and the like. And the safety of the composition is verified according to results of a repeated administration toxicity test, a skin stimulation test and an allergy test. The medicine takes effect quickly, and an obvious curative effect can be achieved within 8 days after the medicine is taken.

Facial nerve decoding method based on electroencephalogram signal relates to the field of neural decoding and computer vision. It includes the following steps: 1) extracting facial expression information from human brain neural data to establish a realistic face generation model; 2) locking the corresponding brain area and neural band of human brain neural data by using DEAP data set; 3) connecting electroencephalogram and facial data through LSTM model, and quantifying the emotional parameters of subjects as the initialization parameters of LSTM by using CNN model; 4) editing the emotional parameters on the basis of the original face by using StyleGan network to obtain generated pictures very close to the original facial expression. Realistic faces can be generated, which is a step forward in the visualization level. It realizes an innovative step of directly decoding facial features from neural signals. The whole process from preprocessing to application is given, which makes good use of the advantages of the cross between brain science and computer science and optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio of the data end.

This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more particularly to a controlled physiotherapy device for use in neurology. This invention provides a controlled physiotherapy device for neurology that applies pressure to acupoints and massages muscle groups on the patient's face, and intermittently applies electrical stimulation to the face to treat facial nerve damage, thereby achieving a better therapeutic effect. The controlled physiotherapy device for neurology includes a headband, a parameter adjuster, and support blocks. The parameter adjuster is fixedly connected to one side of the headband, and two support blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the headband, with the two support blocks arranged symmetrically. The pressure contacts massage the patient's face and electrically stimulate different acupoints on the face of patients with facial paralysis, stimulating the facial nerves, repairing damaged facial nerves, and providing targeted and effective treatment.

The present invention relates to techniques for management of unintentional stimulation. The techniques relate to management of non-auditory stimulation, such as unintentional facial nerve stimulation, including pre-operative and intra-operative techniques for preventing unintentional non-auditory stimulation, and / or post-operative techniques for diagnosing and treating unintentional non-auditory stimulation.
