Background
The brain detection device mainly utilizes a near infrared spectrum technology to obtain brain activity data, and the functional near infrared spectrum technology utilizes good scattering performance of main components of blood to 600-900nm near infrared light, so that the change conditions of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin during brain activity are obtained. The technology is applied to the research in multiple fields of advanced cognition, developing psychology, abnormal psychology and the like under the natural situation at present. The technology has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, good portability, no noise, no non-invasiveness, no excessive sensitivity to the tested action in the experimental process and the like.
The existing brain detection device mainly adopts an elastic material to cover the head, an earpick and other slender tools are used for pulling open the hair after the device is worn, and then through a module consisting of a light-emitting unit and a receiving unit, the good scattering property of the main components of blood to 600-plus-900 nm near infrared light is achieved at the position close to the cerebral cortex, so that the change conditions of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin during brain activities are obtained.
However, the existing brain detection device has the following defects:
1. the size and shape of human brain are different greatly, the adaptability of the equipment is poor, and the brain function signal output of different people cannot be met simultaneously;
2. the repeatability is poor, and a subject cannot be accurately positioned during repeated measurement, so that the repeatability of an output signal is poor, and the value of data analysis and comparison is reduced;
3. the signal noise is large, the black hair absorbs more near infrared light emitted by the sensor, the loss of the infrared light is large, and the other hair shields the light path to further lose energy, so that the received useful signals are less and more impurities are generated, although the interference is avoided by using a mode of poking the hair by using an elongated tool such as an earpick after the hair is worn, the mode consumes more time and is very inconvenient in practical application;
4. The optical fiber integrated module is adopted, as the number of head measuring points is large, optical fibers need to be led out from each measuring point, the system is large and heavy, the comfort of a subject is poor, and the brain signal test result can be influenced by fatigue.
