Abstract: The invention relates to a system for body-condition-dependent stimulation by means of function modules, e. g. an action module (2, D/A module) for stimulating tissue and a capture module (3, A/D module) for deriving/measuring bio data or bio signals, characterized in that the two modules communicate via a communication link (5) that meets hard or at least firm real-time requirements. The communication link (5) preferably comprises a real-time-capable bus to which the two modules are connected, above all an EtherCAT bus.

Abstract: A method and device for optically stimulating the visual system during static perimetry and for objectively evaluating adequate stimulus-related electrophysiological and/or magnetophysiological quantities. Light stimuli with defined parameters derived from a predetermined correlation function and from the known intensity dependence of the excitation response amplitude are presented to the observer. The excitation responses contained in the ERG and/or in the EEG/MEG are detected and processed. These excitation responses are used to determine and topographically evaluate the local sensitivity of the visual system. In one embodiment, the light sources are fixed inside a perimeter, and the excitation responses are amplified and digitized by a device, which preferably comprises an ERG/EEG measuring system and an A/D converter.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for acquiring an electroencephalogram (EEG) are disclosed. A first set of electrodes is arranged to sense cortical signals generated primarily in a region of interest (ROI). A second set of electrodes are arranged to sense cortical signals generated inside and outside of the ROI. Individual signals sensed by each electrode of the first and second sets of electrodes are directed to a signal analyzer.

Abstract: According to the invention, the eye of the subject is lit with light from the non-visible spectrum (infrared light) in such a way that its image, taken with an infrared camera, is of sufficiently high-contrast for an evaluation, so that the actual line of sight can be calculated from the picture based on the characteristics of the eye and that, proceeding from the determined line of sight, the coordinates of the coming optical stimulation can be adjusted in such a way that the intended retinal area is stimulated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the multi-channel recording of signals of various biological origins in the frequency range of 0 to several kilohertz, preparation of the reference potential for the differential amplifier on each channel, from the determined data from the analogue to digital converter and predominantly, though not exclusively, all areas of medicine in which biosignals are used.

Abstract: The invention concerns an arrangement and a procedure for the spatial directed capturing of the electro encephalogram from selected brain areas with electrodes that are attached on the skull surface of an examined person.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for optically stimulating the visual system according to the requirements of the static perimetry and for objectively evaluating adequate stimulus-related electrophysical and/or magnetophysical quantities. Physiologically adequate luminous excitations with defined luminous parameters derived from a predetermined correlation function and from the known intensity dependence of the excitation response amplitude are presented to the observer. The excitation responses contained in the ERG and/or in the EEG/MEG are detected and processed. These excitation responses are used to determine and topographically evaluate the local sensitivity of the visual system. In one embodiment, the light sources are fixed inside a perimeter (1), and the excitation responses are amplified and digitized by a device (3), which preferably comprises an ERG/EEG measuring system and an A/D converter.

Abstract: A first layer of photoresist material, sensitive to radiation of a first wavelength, has a second layer of photoresist material, sensitive to radiation of a second wavelength, deposited thereon. A pattern of radiation of the second wavelength is then formed on the second layer of photoresist material which is subsequently treated with a solvent, in which the first layer of photoresist material is insoluble, to develop a first periodic profile. The first layer of photoresist material is then exposed to radiation of the first wavelength through the first periodic profile and treated to develop a second periodic profile. By directing the radiation of the second wavelength through the first periodic profile a an angle to normal to the first photoresist material a blaze profile may be obtained.

Abstract: The invention concerns a procedure and an arrangement for the stimulation of the human eye by projection of light patterns on the inside of a perimeter hemisphere. According to the invention, the eye of the viewer is lit in the non-visible area of the light (infrared light) in such a way that the picture, taken with an infrared camera, is of sufficient high-contrast for an evaluation through picture development, so that the actual line of sight can be calculated from the picture based on the characteristics of the eye and that, proceeding from the determined line of sight, the coordinates of the coming optical stimulation can be adjusted in such a way that the intended retinal area is stimulated.
