一种基于手指振动触觉刺激的警觉注意力测量系统及方法A system and method for measuring alertness and attention based on finger vibration tactile stimulation

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及注意力测量领域,尤其涉及一种基于手指振动触觉刺激的警觉注意力测量系统及方法。The invention relates to the field of attention measurement, in particular to a system and method for measuring vigilance and attention based on finger vibration and tactile stimulation.

背景技术Background technique

注意是心理活动对一定对象的指向和集中,是心理学的重要主题。随着人们的深入研究以及科技的进步,美国学者M.Posner等人发现人的注意系统分为警觉、定向和执行控制三个子成分。其中,警觉是指保持或达到某种状态,在该状态下对即将到来的信息的敏感度增加。测量注意网络的警觉效应,可以评估人的注意力,从而可以评测出由脑损伤、中风、注意力缺陷障碍等引起的注意力失常。另外,测量注意网络的警觉效应,对注意网络工作机制的研究以及注意系统疾病机理的理解也有着重要意义。特别地,对注意力要求非常高的特种职业,我们可以将人的警觉注意力作为一种筛选标准来进行选拔。Attention is the orientation and concentration of mental activities to a certain object, and it is an important theme of psychology. With the in-depth research of people and the advancement of science and technology, American scholar M. Posner and others found that the human attention system is divided into three sub-components: vigilance, orientation and executive control. Among them, alertness refers to maintaining or reaching a state in which sensitivity to incoming information increases. Measuring the alertness effect of the attentional network allows the assessment of human attention and thus the evaluation of attentional disturbances caused by brain damage, stroke, attention deficit disorder, etc. In addition, measuring the vigilance effect of the attentional network is also of great significance to the study of the working mechanism of the attentional network and the understanding of the disease mechanism of the attentional system. In particular, for special occupations that require very high attention, we can select people's alertness and attention as a screening criterion.

现行的注意力测量系统和方法,很少涉及到注意网络层面,虽有一些涉及注意网络测验,但这些系统集中借助视觉刺激来测量注意网络的三种效应,尚未使用触觉刺激来测量人的警觉注意力。如中国专利CN104905802A和CN104254281A公开的方案均提供了一种测量注意力的方法和装置,但并未涉及到注意网络层面,也并不是以触觉形式来测量的。Fan,McCandliss,Sommer,Raz和Posner(2002)提出了一种以视觉刺激来测量注意网络效率的系统(Testing the Efficiency and Independence of Attentional Networks),但该系统是以视觉形式的线索刺激和目标刺激来测量注意网络效应,也并没有借助触觉刺激来测量。The current attention measurement systems and methods rarely involve the attention network level. Although some involve attention network tests, these systems focus on using visual stimuli to measure the three effects of the attention network, and have not yet used tactile stimuli to measure human alertness. attention. For example, the solutions disclosed in Chinese patents CN104905802A and CN104254281A both provide a method and device for measuring attention, but they do not involve the network level of attention, and are not measured in the form of touch. Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, and Posner (2002) proposed a system (Testing the Efficiency and Independence of Attentional Networks) with visual stimuli, but the system was based on visual cues and target stimuli to measure attentional network effects, but also without the aid of tactile stimuli.

因此,现有的注意网络测量系统和方法集中在以视觉刺激来测量注意网络效应,触觉通道尚未被用于其中。但如果人的视觉通道不可用的时候,现有的注意网络测量系统和方法将无法测量人的警觉注意力,目前的注意力测量系统和方法并不能有效测量盲人或者视力受损人等特殊群体的警觉注意力。Therefore, existing attentional network measurement systems and methods focus on measuring attentional network effects with visual stimuli, in which tactile channels have not been used. However, if the human visual channel is unavailable, the existing attention network measurement systems and methods will not be able to measure people's alert attention, and the current attention measurement systems and methods cannot effectively measure special groups such as blind or visually impaired people. alert attention.

There are two types of target tactile stimuli: one is strong vibration and the other is weak vibration. Before the measurement process, it must be ensured that the user has a clear distinction between the two different intensities of vibration. The tactile target stimulus will only appear on the index finger or the ring finger, and will not be on the index finger or the ring finger at the same time, that is, the tactile target stimulus has the following situations: a weak vibration is generated on the index finger, a strong vibration is generated on the index finger, and a ring finger is generated. Weak vibration, produces strong vibration on the ring finger. Tactile target stimuli are used for user identification and as the basis for the user to make corresponding feedback on the keyboard.

参照图4、图5(图4中R、M、L分别表示食指、中指和无名指),本发明所提供的测量方法的实现步骤如下:With reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 5 (in Fig. 4, R, M, L represent index finger, middle finger and ring finger respectively), the realization steps of the measurement method provided by the present invention are as follows:

步骤1,根据触觉目标刺激的出现时刻为起点而测量出用户的反应时间。Instep 1, the user's reaction time is measured according to the appearance time of the tactile target stimulus as a starting point.

(1a)首先,被测者需保持注意,等待下一阶段线索的到来,此阶段持续时间为D1毫秒(D1为400至1600之间的一个随机整数),此阶段没有线索触觉刺激、目标触觉刺激作用于被测者的手上。(1a) First, the subjects need to keep their attention and wait for the next stage of cues. The duration of this stage is D1 milliseconds (D1 is a random integer between 400 and 1600). There are no cued tactile stimuli and target tactile sensations in this stage. The stimulus is applied to the subject's hand.

(1b)接着为线索出现阶段,本方法中线索有两种,即无线索与中央线索,线索触觉刺激将持续100毫秒。(1b) Followed by the cue-appearing stage, there are two kinds of cues in this method, namely no cue and central cue, the cue tactile stimulus will last for 100 milliseconds.

(1c)然后被测者仍需保持注意,此阶段持续时间为400毫秒,此阶段无线索触觉刺激、目标触觉刺激作用于被测者的手上。(1c) Then the subject still needs to pay attention. The duration of this stage is 400 milliseconds. In this stage, no cord tactile stimulation and target tactile stimulation acts on the subject's hand.

(1d)最后为触觉目标刺激出现阶段,在此阶段到来之时,就会产生触觉目标刺激,当被测者感受到触觉目标刺激之时,需要尽快尽可能准确的给上位机一个反馈,当被测者做出反馈之后,触觉目标刺激消失,从触觉目标刺激出现到被测者做出反馈这一段时间称为反应时间RT,第四阶段持续时间为3500-D1毫秒,也就是说触觉目标刺激持续RT毫秒,而其后的3500-RT-D1毫秒无线索触觉刺激、目标触觉刺激作用于被测者的手上。因此一个测量任务总时长为4000毫秒。(1d) The last stage is the appearance of tactile target stimulation. When this stage arrives, tactile target stimulation will be generated. When the subject feels the tactile target stimulation, it is necessary to give the host computer a feedback as soon as possible as accurately as possible. After the subject gives feedback, the tactile target stimulus disappears, and the period from the appearance of the tactile target stimulus to the subject giving feedback is called the reaction time RT, and the duration of the fourth stage is 3500-D1 milliseconds, that is to say, the tactile target The stimulation lasted for RT milliseconds, and then for 3500-RT-D1 milliseconds, no cord tactile stimulation and target tactile stimulation acted on the subject's hand. Therefore, the total duration of a measurement task is 4000 milliseconds.

步骤2,通过多次重复上述测量步骤获得的反应时间来计算出人的警觉注意力。In step 2, the alert attention of the person is calculated by repeating the reaction time obtained by the above measurement steps for many times.

(2a)多次重复步骤1中的测量任务,获取若干个测量数据。(2a) Repeat the measurement task instep 1 multiple times to obtain several measurement data.

(2b)计算在无线索刺激的情况下被测者的平均反应时间。(2b) Calculate the mean reaction time of subjects in the absence of cord stimulation.

若所述的测量系统包含N个测量任务,其中N/2个测量任务为无线索刺激的测量任务,另外N/2个测量任务为含有中央线索刺激的测量任务。若无线索刺激的测量任务中有m个任务被正确反馈,则在无线索刺激的情况下,被测者的平均反应时间为:If the measurement system includes N measurement tasks, N/2 measurement tasks are measurement tasks without cord stimulation, and the other N/2 measurement tasks are measurement tasks with central cue stimulation. If there are m tasks that are correctly fed back in the measurement tasks without cord stimulation, then in the case of no cord stimulation, the average reaction time of the subjects is:

Figure GDA0002495840890000091
Figure GDA0002495840890000091

(2c)计算在中央线索刺激的情况下被测者的平均反应时间。(2c) Calculate the mean reaction time of subjects in the presence of central cue stimulation.

若含有中央线索刺激的测量任务有n个任务被正确反馈,则在中央线索刺激的情况下,被测者的平均反应时间为:If n tasks with central cue stimulation are correctly fed back, then in the case of central cue stimulation, the average reaction time of the subjects is:

Figure GDA0002495840890000092
Figure GDA0002495840890000092

(2d)计算基于手指振动触觉刺激下的警觉注意力。(2d) Computation of alert attention based on finger vibrotactile stimuli.

根据步骤2b和步骤2c获得的不同线索刺激下的平均反应时间,我们可以利用如下公式计算出基于手指振动触觉刺激下的警觉注意力:According to the average reaction time under different cue stimuli obtained in steps 2b and 2c, we can use the following formula to calculate the alert attention based on finger vibration tactile stimuli:

R.TAlerting=R.TNoCue-R.TCenterCueRTAlerting = RTNoCue -RTCenterCue

上述测量方法的具体实现方式如下:The specific implementation of the above measurement method is as follows:

该测量系统的测量警觉注意力的计算机程序的测量过程可以通过高精度计时器来实现,例如可以利用Win32 API函数库中的多媒体定时器来实现,多媒体定时器的计时精度高达1毫秒,因此可保证测量精度。在测量任务的第一阶段到来之时,通过使用随机数生成函数产生一个400-1600之间的随机数,用作第一个阶段的持续时间D1,然后开启多媒体定时器进行计时。当多媒体定时器计时到D1时,设定测量任务的第二阶段的持续时间为100毫秒,如果本次任务的线索为中央线索,则上位机给下位机发送命令,使位于中指上的交流振动马达产生振动,否则上位机不发送命令给下位机。当多媒体定时器计时100毫秒时,使交流振动马达停止振动,设定测量任务的第三阶段的持续时间为400毫秒。当多媒体定时器计时400毫秒时,设定测量任务的第四阶段的持续时间为3500-D1毫秒,根据读取预设的本次任务的目标刺激的位置和强弱,上位机给下位机发送相应的命令,当用户感受到触觉目标刺激之时,尽快尽可能准确的给上位机一个反馈,其反馈形式为目标刺激为强振动时则按下键盘上的上方向键,目标刺激为弱振动时则按下键盘上的下方向键,用户反馈完之后,使产生目标刺激的振动马达停止振动。The measuring process of the computer program for measuring vigilance and attention of the measuring system can be realized by a high-precision timer, for example, it can be realized by using the multimedia timer in the Win32 API function library. The timing accuracy of the multimedia timer is as high as 1 millisecond, so it can be Guaranteed measurement accuracy. When the first stage of the measurement task arrives, a random number between 400 and 1600 is generated by using the random number generation function, which is used as the duration D1 of the first stage, and then the multimedia timer is started for timing. When the multimedia timer reaches D1, the duration of the second stage of the measurement task is set to 100 milliseconds. If the clue of this task is the central clue, the upper computer sends a command to the lower computer to make the AC on the middle finger vibrate The motor vibrates, otherwise the upper computer will not send commands to the lower computer. When the multimedia timer counted for 100 milliseconds, the AC vibration motor was stopped from vibrating, and the duration of the third stage of the measurement task was set to 400 milliseconds. When the multimedia timer counts for 400 milliseconds, the duration of the fourth stage of the measurement task is set to 3500-D1 milliseconds. According to the position and strength of the preset target stimulus for this task, the upper computer sends a message to the lower computer. The corresponding command, when the user feels the tactile target stimulus, give the upper computer a feedback as accurately as possible as soon as possible. The feedback form is that when the target stimulus is a strong vibration, press the up arrow key on the keyboard, and the target stimulus is a weak vibration. When the user presses the down arrow key on the keyboard, after the user feedback, the vibration motor that generates the target stimulus stops vibrating.

所述的线索存在2种情况,所述的目标存在4种情况,则线索与目标的组合则存在8种情况。所述的测量系统包含的N个测量任务,含有这8种情况的个数相同,且在测量开始之前,利用随机数生成函数随机分配好各种情况的先后次序。There are 2 cases for the clue, 4 cases for the target, and 8 cases for the combination of the clue and the target. The N measurement tasks included in the measurement system contain the same number of these 8 cases, and before the measurement starts, the sequence of each case is randomly assigned by a random number generating function.

所述的基于手指振动触觉刺激的警觉注意力测量系统,在测量之前,让用户充分体验,让用户能充分理解测量流程。在用户充分熟悉此系统之后才能开始正式测量。The alertness and attention measurement system based on finger vibration and tactile stimulation allows the user to fully experience before the measurement, so that the user can fully understand the measurement process. Formal measurement can only be started after the user is fully familiar with the system.

如图5所示,用户坐在测量系统前,头戴抗噪音耳罩,眼睛戴上遮光眼罩。左手的食指、中指、无名指上各固定1个交流振动马达,右上放置于键盘上,其中两只手指分别置于上方向键和下方向键。当用户准备好之后,启动测量警觉注意力的计算机程序,则用户开始完成测量任务,当目标刺激出现的时候,计算机程序开始计时,当用户按下键盘上的上方向键或者下方向键,则结束计时,计算出用户的反应时间RT,并记录用户的反馈是否正确。所述用户反馈正确即目标刺激为强振动时,用户按下键盘上的上方向键即为正确,若按下键盘上的下方向键则视为反馈错误;同样,目标刺激为弱振动时,用户按下键盘上的下方向键即为正确,若按下键盘上的上方向键则视为反馈错误。As shown in Figure 5, the user sits in front of the measurement system, wears anti-noise earmuffs on his head, and wears light-shielding goggles for his eyes. One AC vibration motor is fixed on the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the left hand, and the upper right is placed on the keyboard, and two fingers are placed on the up and down direction keys respectively. When the user is ready, start the computer program for measuring alertness and attention, and the user starts to complete the measurement task. When the target stimulus appears, the computer program starts timing. When the user presses the up or down arrow keys on the keyboard, the End the timing, calculate the user's reaction time RT, and record whether the user's feedback is correct. When the user feedback is correct, that is, when the target stimulus is a strong vibration, it is correct that the user presses the upper direction key on the keyboard, and if the user presses the downward direction key on the keyboard, it is regarded as feedback error; If the user presses the down arrow key on the keyboard, it is correct, and if the user presses the up arrow key on the keyboard, it is regarded as a feedback error.

当测量任务次数达到N次之后,则本发明提供的测量方法计算出在手指振动触觉刺激下的警觉注意力,并将该结果显示在主控制模块的计算机的屏幕上。When the number of measurement tasks reaches N times, the measurement method provided by the present invention calculates the alert attention under the finger vibration tactile stimulation, and displays the result on the computer screen of the main control module.
