Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of analyzing the setup of an array of acceleration sensors on an anatomical body part of a patient encompasses acquisition of acceleration data using a cranial headset having acceleration sensors and determining an appropriate contact of the acceleration sensor to the patient's head, detecting, marking, filtering out, or removing different kinds of noise as well as acceleration signals which are considered to be due to gross patient movement. This is done to determine whether the setup of the headset on the patient's head is good enough to generate measurement signals of acceptable quality. If this is the case, the headset is subsequently used to acquire continuous datasets of acceleration data which is then evaluated to determine the patient's physiological status.

Abstract: The patent discloses a medical instrument having a control device for controlling medical treatment software, wherein the control device includes a transmitter for transmitting software control signals and at least one control for activating the transmitter. The transmitter may be provided as a separate transmitter unit, and the instrument may include a closable interior receptacle, wherein the transmitter unit can be inserted into and removed from the interior receptacle.
