DBS has micron-scale spatial resolution, but the application of DBS has the limitation that surgical trauma and stimulation target change are not flexible, and risks of postoperative infection and the like exist. Although the TMS and tDCS technologies have the advantages of non-invasive type, the defects of low stimulation spatial resolution and shallow penetration depth exist, and the requirements of some occasions cannot be met; the optical gene genetic technology has incomparable action precision, but can be realized by surgical operation methods such as virus transfection and invasive optical fiber implantation, and is difficult to be used for clinical treatment of brain diseases. The transcranial ultrasonic stimulation technology is a technical means for stimulating nerves or functional areas of the brain by using low-frequency focused ultrasound so as to modulate the brain function, has the advantages of non-invasiveness, high resolution, large stimulation depth, good electromagnetic compatibility and the like, has great potential clinically, and is widely concerned internationally.
As a novel nerve regulation and control technology, transcranial ultrasound has great development potential, but an ultrasonic stimulation system used in experimental research at the present stage is basically constructed by self manually and is formed by splicing a plurality of devices, so that the size is heavy, the operation difficulty is high, and the movement is difficult. Through the search of the prior documents, corresponding portable transcranial ultrasonic stimulation devices, such as a transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device and a stimulation method, have appeared at the present stage (patent number: 20150021745.0); a novel portable transcranial ultrasonic stimulation and electroencephalogram signal acquisition device (201520514405.7); an ultrasonic nerve stimulation apparatus and system (201520996080.0). However, these are single-channel transcranial ultrasound devices, however, in brain science research and clinical application, some scenes and application objects need to receive stimulation of two targets or even multiple targets simultaneously; in particular, stimulation of these targets may be synchronous stimulation or asynchronous stimulation with a specific timing sequence to study synergistic effects and causal relationships between the respective targets. Such studies particularly require multi-channel ultrasound stimulation devices that precisely control the timing of the stimulation of each channel to complete the experiment. Meanwhile, in the experimental process, the ultrasonic stimulation device often cooperates with other devices such as electroencephalogram devices and electromyogram devices, and external triggering delay is needed in some occasions, such as input and output of advance or delay synchronous signals. The technology and the equipment can not meet the accurate time sequence control of multi-channel stimulation, do not realize asynchronous triggering, and are difficult to meet the real-time closed-loop transcranial ultrasonic stimulation cooperated with other equipment (such as electroencephalogram or electromyogram) in the literature retrieval.
Therefore, a double-channel transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device which has the advantages of multi-channel stimulation, accurate time sequence control, asynchronous triggering, capability of working in cooperation with external electroencephalogram and electromyogram and other devices, convenience in operation, small size and portability is not available in the field.

Portable double-channel transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device for nerve regulation
The device comprises a main control unit, a signal generator unit, a voltage regulating unit, a power amplifier unit, a resonant impedance matching unit, a display control panel unit, a power supply system unit, a voltage regulating unit, an upper computer unit and an external coordination unit. The main control unit is a processor system of the device and is responsible for processing information transmission among all units and processing data of each unit to ensure normal operation of equipment. The signal generator unit receives the control instruction transmitted by the main control unit and generates the required pulse signal. The power amplifier unit receives the signal generated by the signal, modulates and amplifies the signal, and amplifies the input signal to different degrees under different power supply voltages; the impedance matching circuit matches the output of the power amplifier unit with the impedance of the ultrasonic probe through the resonance circuit so as to ensure that the equipment works at the maximum efficiency; the display control panel unit comprises a display panel unit and a control panel unit, the display panel unit displays multiple parameters in the operation process of the equipment through a display screen, and the control panel unit is responsible for controlling the multiple parameters of the equipment through keys; the external cooperation unit is responsible for the cooperation of the device and other external devices, and is used for generating or receiving an external trigger signal. The power supply system unit is responsible for supplying power to all the electricity consuming units in the device. The upper computer unit is communicated with the main control unit through a USB and controls the device at a computer end;
the device comprises a first channel and a second channel which are independent of each other, wherein the first channel comprises a first ultrasonic excitation signal branch and a first external trigger signal branch which are connected with a main control unit; the second channel comprises a second ultrasonic excitation signal branch and a second external trigger signal branch which are connected with the main control unit; the external coordination unit is configured to coordinate the transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device with other external equipment to generate or receive an external trigger signal; the working modes of the external cooperative unit comprise a synchronous trigger mode and an asynchronous trigger mode.
Working mode of nerve regulation portable double-channel transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device
The working mode of the device is divided into an independent output mode and a cooperative output mode;
in the independent output mode of the device: the first ultrasonic excitation signal branch and the second ultrasonic excitation signal branch are independent and do not interfere with each other, and both can drive the ultrasonic probe.
In a coordinated output mode of the device: the two are mutually related and work cooperatively. At the moment, the respective stimulation parameters of the first ultrasonic excitation signal branch and the second ultrasonic excitation signal branch are independent, the second ultrasonic excitation signal branch starts to work after the first ultrasonic excitation signal branch starts to work and the time is delayed for T milliseconds, and the size of T can be preset or controlled in real time through a program. Under the working mode, two paths of ultrasonic signals are output in a delayed mode, and the ultrasonic signal processing method can be used for researching the interaction relation among different brain regions in nerve regulation and control.
Mode of operation with external cooperating units
The portable double-channel transcranial ultrasonic stimulation device for nerve regulation can be synchronously triggered and asynchronously triggered in the working mode of the external cooperative unit, as shown in fig. 8.
In the synchronous trigger mode, in the same channel, the generation of the ultrasonic excitation signal sent to the ultrasonic probe in the corresponding ultrasonic excitation signal branch is synchronous with the generation of the external trigger signal sent outwards in the external trigger signal branch. That is to say, when the main control unit of the device sends an external trigger signal outwards, the trigger signal of the external trigger signal branch and the pulse excitation signal of the ultrasonic excitation signal branch are generated at the same time; when receiving an external trigger signal, the first channel and the second channel start to work immediately after receiving the trigger signal.
In the asynchronous trigger mode, in the same channel, the generation of the ultrasonic excitation signal sent to the ultrasonic probe in the corresponding ultrasonic excitation signal branch circuit and the generation of the external trigger signal sent to the outside in the external trigger signal branch circuit are asynchronous. That is, when the main control unit of the device sends an external trigger signal to the outside, the trigger signal of the first external trigger signal branch and/or the second external trigger signal branch leads or lags the pulse excitation signal of the first ultrasonic excitation signal branch and the second ultrasonic excitation signal branch; when receiving an external trigger signal, the first channel and the second channel start to operate after delaying for a certain time after receiving the trigger signal. The amount of time to advance or retard can be preset to a constant or can be programmed to do so in real time. That is, when the single channel sends the trigger signal to the outside, the trigger signal or the pulse excitation signal is output in a delayed manner through the delay action of the timer by calling the internal timer resource. Such that the trigger signal leads or lags the pulsed excitation signal of the respective channel. When each channel receives the trigger signal, the CPU detects the trigger signal and then triggers the timer to interrupt, and the timer outputs the pulse excitation signal after delaying for a period of time, so that the output lags behind the trigger signal to work.
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: the present embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation manner and a specific operation process are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
