  • Patent number: 11666759
    Abstract: A nerve stimulating apparatus includes a plurality of stimulating units configured to respectively apply stimuli to a plurality of nerve regions branching from a particular nerve region of a living body, and a stimulation timing controller configured to set generating timings of respectively generating the stimuli at the plurality of stimulating units. The stimulation timing controller sets the generating timings of generating the stimuli at the plurality of stimulating units based on response results of the particular nerve region, the response results being obtained in response to the stimuli that are respectively generated at the plurality of stimulating units and that are respectively applied to the plurality of nerve regions, and the response results being measured by a biometric information measuring apparatus that measures biometric information.

  • Publication number: 20220409156
    Abstract: A biometric information display apparatus (30) for displaying a measurement result obtained by measuring a biometric signal, includes a maximum value calculation unit (63) configured to calculate a maximum value of the measurement result in a certain period of time for at least one of blocks into which a measurement area, in which the biometric signal is measured, is divided, a determination unit (64) configured to determine whether a measurement value in the at least one of blocks is greater than or equal to a threshold value obtained by multiplying the maximum value by a fractional value, the fractional value being determined in advance, and a display control unit configured to display, in response to an occurrence of an event in which the measurement value is determined to be greater than or equal to the threshold value, the measurement result in such a manner as to indicate the occurrence of the event.

  • Patent number: 11389076
    Abstract: A biomagnetic measurement system includes a magnetism measurement apparatus configured to measure a magnetism of a target; and an electrical stimulation apparatus configured to apply a stimulation current to the target. The magnetism measurement apparatus includes a confirming unit configured to confirm a magnitude of an artifact caused by the stimulation current. The electrical stimulation apparatus is configured to output a compensation current for reducing the artifact after the stimulation current is output, based on information from the confirming unit.

  • Publication number: 20210290143
    Abstract: A bioelectric current estimation method includes acquiring position information of a nerve in a measurement target region of a subject for which magnetic data is measured with a magnetic sensor, the position information of the nerve being acquired based on a nerve image included in a morphological image of the measurement target region; acquiring a positional relationship between a position of the nerve and a position of the magnetic sensor, based on the acquired position information of the nerve and position information of the magnetic sensor when the magnetic sensor is positioned to face the measurement target region; and estimating a neural activity current, which is generated in association with neural activity of the subject, based on the acquired positional relationship and the magnetic data of the measurement target region measured by the magnetic sensor.
