  • Patent number: 10595741
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting brain activity may be disclosed, the method including performing multi-channel synchronous collections of brain electrical signals and cerebral cortex blood oxygen signals simultaneously and ensuring synchronicity of the collected signals among channels by collecting the signals at multiple locations simultaneously. A system may include a functional near-infrared light source emission module, which may employ the frequency division multiplexing technique. A multi-functional joint collection helmet may access the light source signal emitted from the emission module, then may be processed by a near-infrared detection module. Further, the near-infrared detection module may detect optical signals of the scalp, while a brain electricity detection module detects electrical signals of the scalp. Finally, a central control unit may synchronize data collected from the detected signals and may control a variety of functional modules and upload the data to a host computer.

  • Patent number: 8965093
    Abstract: A method for registering functional MRI data, comprising: computing the functional connectivity pattern for every voxel in its given spatial neighborhood for every fMRI image; extracting features invariant to spatial location of the neighboring voxels based on the functional connectivity patterns; constructing similarity metric between voxels of different images based on the extracted features, and using fluid-like demons registration model to spatial normalize the fMRI data. The present invention tries to exploit the multi-range functional connectivity information of the fMRI data, and to register functional MR images based on the extracted spatial-location-invariant features. The present invention is robust against local spatial perturbations and does not depend on the assumption that functional signals of different subjects are synchronic, hence can be applied to resting-state fMRI data, and can achieve a statistically significant improvement in functional consistency across subjects.
