The specific embodiment
The specific embodiment one: below in conjunction with Fig. 1 present embodiment is described, the present embodiment method may further comprise the steps:
Step 1, place the near-infrared probe that constitutes by double-wavelength light source and detector in the scalp surface of cerebral tissue to be measured, diffuse-reflectance light intensity under the detector recording brain rest state and brain are in the diffuse-reflectance light intensity of bringing out when excitation, the time series of the optical density variable quantity when obtaining two different wave lengths:
With
T is the time, t=1, and 2 ..., N;
The time series ofstep 2, the optical density variable quantity that obtains according tostep 1, and adopt and revise the time series Δ [HbO that langbobier law obtains HbO2 Oxyhemoglobin concentration change amount2] (t) and the time series Δ [HHb] of reduced hemoglobin concentration change amount (t);

Step 4, all IMF components that step 3 is obtained carry out Hilbert transform, ask for the instantaneous frequency of each IMF component, instantaneous frequency is in IMF component rejection in normal person's respiratory frequency and the heartbeat frequency range, the physiology disturbance when eliminating the Near-infrared Brain Function detection.
The technical scheme of present embodiment is achieved in that the sonde configuration that utilizes single light source list detector, and light source adopts double-wavelength light source (λ1=750nm, λ2=830nm), light source is 45mm to the air line distance (light source detection device spacing) of detector.Light source detection device spacing is approximately the twice of near infrared light investigation depth, and investigation depth can reach 20-22mm when light source detection device spacing was 45mm, and setting can make near infrared light can effectively penetrate cerebral cortex like this.Change the optical density variation that obtains into HbO2 Oxyhemoglobin Δ [HbO by revising langbobier law2] and the concentration change amount Δ [HHb] of reduced hemoglobin, the Δ [HbO of this moment2] and Δ [HHb] doping physiology turbulent noise even flooded by turbulent noise.Utilize EMD (empirical modal decomposition) with Δ [HbO2] be decomposed into IMF component with Δ [HHb] with different local features, and the IMF component is carried out Hilbert transform ask for instantaneous frequency.Utilize the instantaneous frequency of all IMF components, the IMF component that can determine physiology disturbance correspondence in conjunction with normal person's breathing and heartbeat frequency.Reject the IMF component of physiology disturbance correspondence, reconstruct cerebration signal.
Wherein, two kinds of wavelength sending of the described double-wavelength light source ofstep 1 are respectively λ1=750nm, λ2=830nm.
The time series of optical density variable quantity in the
step 1
Obtain by following formula:
Wherein: IBase(λ1) for the wavelength of probe light source be λ1The time, brain is in the rest state output intensity in following time, and in the initial moment, brain is under the rest state, and the diffuse-reflectance light intensity that the record detector receives is as test benchmark.
IStim(λ1) for the wavelength of probe light source be λ1The time, brain is in the output intensity when bringing out excitation,
At near infrared band HbO2With HHb be main absorber, and there is significant difference in its absorption spectra.Therefore, based on the Near-infrared Brain Function detection of continuous spectrum technology, mainly be to measure HbO2 Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and the concentration change of reduced hemoglobin (HHb).
Detect for brain function, adopt dual wavelength continuous light near-infrared measuring system, the time series of optical density variable quantity

Wherein: IBase(λ2) for the wavelength of probe light source be λ2The time, brain is in the rest state output intensity in following time,
IStim(λ2) for the wavelength of probe light source be λ2The time, brain is in the output intensity when bringing out excitation.
In the step 3 to the time series Δ [HbO of HbO2 Oxyhemoglobin concentration change amount2] (t) (t) to carry out the process that empirical modal decomposes identical with the time series Δ [HHb] of reduced hemoglobin concentration change amount, it is a kind of analytical method of non-linear, nonstationary time series that empirical modal decomposes, it can carry out linearisation to original series, tranquilization is handled, and keeps the feature of original series self in catabolic process.The time scale feature of its basis signal itself, with signal decomposition is to contain the different time yardstick and satisfy in a group of following two definite conditions and accumulate mode function (IMF): 1. in whole data sequence, the number of signal extreme point must differ one identical or at most with the number of signal zero crossing; 2. at any time on, the average of signal local maximum envelope and signal local minimum envelope is zero.
Described optical density signal is converted to Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] (t) carry out EMD then and decompose, the effectiveness of EMD method is to decompose Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] (t) rather than directly decompose and comprise the turbulent signal that diffuses of physiology because diffuse signal and Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] be index relation (t), the EMD algorithm decomposes the signal that diffuses can't realize separating fully the IMF component of physiology disturbance correspondence, thereby can't eliminate the physiology disturbance.
Below with Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] (t) be referred to as CIj(t), which IMF component i is, i=1, and 2 ..., n, j is the estimation number of times, initialization i=1, j=1 is to time series CIj(t) carry out empirical modal and decompose the acquisition process that obtains all IMF components:
Step 1, employing local extremum method are determined the hunting time sequence CIj(t) all maximum and minimum make up time series C with cubic spline interpolation respectively to all maximum value minimums that obtainIj(t) coenvelope line eMax(t) and lower envelope line eMin(t);
Step 2, obtain the average of upper and lower envelope
Estimate h the j time of step 3, i IMF component of acquisition time sequenceIj(t):
Step 4, judge whether following formula is set up:
ε>0 wherein, and fully near 0,
Judged result is for being, execution in step 5,
Judged result makes j=j+1, C for notI (j+1)(t)=hIj(t), and return execution instep 1,
Step 5, obtain i IMF component: Ci(t)=hIjAnd obtain i residual error (t):
ri(t)=Cij(t)-hij(t),
Step 6, i residual error r of judgementi(t) whether be monotonic function,
Judged result makes i=i+1 for not, j=1, and return execution instep 1,
Judged result is for being to finish time series CIj(t) carry out the empirical modal decomposition and obtain all IMF components: Ci(t).
The acquisition methods of the instantaneous frequency of IMF component is in the step 4:
Step 41, acquisition IMF component Ci(t) Hilbert transform y (t):
Wherein, P represents Cauchy's principal value,
Step 42, IMF component Ci(t) analytic signal is z (t)=C (t)+iy (t)=a (t) exp[i θ (t)], wherein, a (t) is an instantaneous amplitude, θ (t) is a phase function,
Step 43, obtain IMF component C
i(t) instantaneous frequency f (t) is:
Normal person's respiratory frequency scope is 0.15Hz~0.4Hz, and the heartbeat frequency range is 1.0Hz~1.7Hz.
The instantaneous frequency of IMF component has embodied the internal feature of IMF component, according to normal person's respiratory frequency and heartbeat frequency, determines the IMF component of physiology disturbance correspondence.With the IMF component rejection of physiology disturbance correspondence, utilize other IMF component reconstruct to obtain the turbulent cerebration signal of physiology.
Described optical density signal is converted to Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] (t) carry out EMD then and decompose, the effectiveness of EMD method is to decompose Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] (t) rather than directly decompose and comprise the turbulent signal that diffuses of physiology because diffuse signal and Δ [HbO2] (t) and Δ [HHb] be index relation (t), the EMD algorithm decomposes the signal that diffuses can't realize separating fully the IMF component of physiology disturbance correspondence, thereby can't eliminate the physiology disturbance.
