Abstract: An internal device (1) is implanted in a living body (300). A control section (6) causes a communication section (5) to wirelessly transmit data corresponding to electroencephalogram signals of the living body (300) which are detected through a group of N (N is 2 or more) electrodes, to an external device (200). When the communication section (5) receives a designation signal designating a group of M electrode(s) (2a), M being smaller than N, the communication section (5) is caused to transmit data corresponding to electroencephalogram signals of the living body (300) which are detected through the group of M electrode(s) (2a), to the external device (200) in real time.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of electroencephalographs is adapted to measure electroencephalograms of a patient and to be connected to a communication network. Each of the electroencephalographs is operable to analyze the electroencephalograms to generate electroencephalogram information. Each of a plurality of cameras is adapted to monitor a state that the patient is subjected to the electroencephalogram measurement to transmit the monitored state as image information to associated one of the electroencephalographs. A central control monitor is connected to the communication network and operable to simultaneously displaying the electroencephalogram information and a part of the image information which are transmitted from each of the electroencephalographs via the communication network.

Abstract: A system for performing telemetry of multi-channel biological signals obtained from electrodes attached to a subject, is provided with a transmitter and a receiver. In the transmitter, a converter converts the multi-channel biological signals to digital data, and a storage stores the digital data. In the transmitter, a first transceiver is operable to transmit a prescribed amount of the digital data stored in the storage, and a battery is operable to supply a battery voltage to the first transceiver. In the transmitter, a switch places the battery in either a first state where the battery voltage is supplied to the first transceiver or a second state where the battery voltage is not supplied to the first transceiver, so that the first transceiver intermittently transmits the digital data. In the receiver, a second transceiver is operable to receive the digital data transmitted from the first transceiver. The received digital data is to be reproduced multi-channel biological signals at an output device.

Abstract: A plurality of nodes are connected to a network. A first node converts the image signals into image signal data and transmits the same. A second node converts the biological signals into biological signal data and transmits the same. A third node receives the image signal data and the biological signal data. A master counter is provided in one of the nodes to provide a reference count. A first counter in the first node appends a first count to the image signal data. A second counter in the second node appends a second count to the biological signal data. At least one of the first and second counters issues a query to the master counter to receive the reference count as a response. At least one of the first and the second counts is corrected, based on the reference count and a time period from the issuance of the query to the receipt of the response, so as to synchronous with the reference count.
