  • Publication number: 20220079505
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an unrestrained neural signal monitoring device and system configured to enable an unrestrained test by being mounted on a living test subject such as a mouse, the device comprising a neural signal detector detecting a neural signal of the test subject such as a brain wave, a first light emitting part outputting a colored light for position tracking, a second light emitting part outputting a colored light for neural signal display, and a controller for controlling the first and second light emitting parts in response to the neural signal detected through the neural signal detector. Because movement of a test subject is unrestrained, a natural activity of the test subject is enabled to thereby prevent an interactive behavior of a group from being restrained.

  • Patent number: 8348986
    Abstract: A photostimulation apparatus may include: a membrane for insertion into a living body; and at least one cell disposed on the membrane. Each cell may include a first light source for irradiating light to a photosensitive material in the living body. Further, a photostimulation apparatus may include: a membrane for insertion into a living body; and at least one first light source disposed on the membrane for irradiating light to a photosensitive material in the living body. Since the photostimulation apparatus is placed on the surface of cortex or dura, it may minimize damage of the brain tissue and may activate and/or inhibit a large area simultaneously using light.

  • Publication number: 20100241006
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to an apparatus for detecting brain conditions. The apparatus for detecting brain conditions may include: a layer which is located adjacent to the brain of a living body; a light source which is formed on the layer and irradiates light to the brain; and an optical sensor which is formed on the layer adjacent to the light source and detects the light scattered from the brain. Since detection is possible at a location relatively adjacent to the brain, the apparatus for detecting brain conditions may improve accuracy and reliability of detection. The apparatus for detecting brain conditions may be used to detect brain conditions such as cerebral oxygenation, cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow, etc. or to monitor brain activities, or to diagnose and/or localize the disease foci in case of neurovascular disease such as stroke including hemorrhage or bleeding, into or around the brain or brain tumors or epilepsy, etc.
