At the same time, as the most valuable but most vulnerable link in the military system, combatants have become particularly important to protect their safety and strengthen their cognition and physique.

In the field of human enhancement, it is mainly divided into two categories: cognitive enhancement and physiological enhancement. At present, the cognitive ability of the human body can be improved through drug therapy and physical means. In terms of drug therapy, methylphenidate, atomoxetine and modafinil have been used as cognitive enhancing drugs. However, neurological drugs are not stable enough, and there are also huge side effects, such as dizziness, confusion, and even death. Physical means include transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve memory by regulating the cortical network; transcranial direct current stimulation of specific brain regions to improve attention, memory and learning; optogenetic activation of specific cells to enhance attention and other means. However, there are disadvantages such as high cost, invasiveness, and insufficient precision.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an ultrasound-based human body enhancement method 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Hereinafter, a method 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to FIG. 1 , and the method 100 includes:

Step 110: Obtain indication information of a target ability, where the target ability is at least one of cognitive ability and physiological ability.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the present application, the human body augmentation device first obtains indication information of the target ability, the indication information is used to indicate the target ability (for example, memory), and the indication information can be used by the user or the operator through local human-computer interaction. The input from the device may also be carried in the communication message and obtained from the remote device, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, the user or operator may input the instruction information to the human body augmentation device through input devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, a control panel (button), a touch screen, and the like.

For example, the user or operator may click the corresponding icon on the display screen with the mouse to indicate that the target capability needs to be improved.

For another example, the user or operator can indicate that the target ability needs to be improved by pressing the corresponding button.

For another example, the user or the operator may click on the corresponding icon on the touch screen to indicate that the target capability needs to be improved.

Optionally, the human body augmentation apparatus may also acquire the indication information from the remote device.

For example, the human body augmentation device can be connected (for example, wirelessly) in communication with the remote device, and the human body augmentation device can receive a message sent by the remote device, parse and read the message, and the message carries the indication information .

Optionally, the remote device may be a control host or a cloud server, and may also be an intelligent electronic product such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer.

The target ability is the ability that the user chooses to improve, and the target ability is at least one of cognitive and physiological abilities. By improving the target ability, the purpose of human body enhancement can be achieved. Optionally, target abilities include one or more of cognitive and physiological abilities.

For example, cognitive and physical abilities include, but are not limited to, the following abilities: attention, memory, learning, analysis, spatial imagination, graphic integration, object detection, vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste, Alertness, language, pronunciation, motor skills, sleep cycle regulation, emotion regulation, musical skills, social skills, or physical coordination skills. At this time, the target ability is any one or more of the above abilities.

For example, the target ability may be memory or hearing. As another example, the target abilities may be attention and hearing.

Step 120: Determine target ultrasound parameters according to the target capability.

Specifically, different target capabilities may correspond to different target ultrasound parameters, and the human body enhancement device determines the target capability to be improved according to the indication information, and further determines the target ultrasound parameter according to the target capability.

Target ultrasound parameters include parameter type and parameter value. Optionally, the parameter type of the target ultrasound parameter includes at least one of the following types: center frequency, intensity, duty cycle, pulse repetition frequency, or duration.

The human body augmentation device can first determine which one or more parameter types (eg frequency) the target ultrasound parameters include according to the target capability, and then further determine the parameter value of this parameter type (eg 20~30KHZ). This application does not limit how the human body augmentation device determines the target ultrasound parameters according to the target capability.

Optionally, the target ultrasound parameter can be determined according to a preset logic algorithm.

Optionally, the target ultrasound parameters may be determined according to pre-stored historical data.

Optionally, the target ultrasound parameter may be determined according to a preset mapping relationship table between capabilities and ultrasound parameters.

For example, the target ability may be memory, and in this case, the ultrasound parameter corresponding to the memory in the mapping table may be determined as the target ultrasound parameter.

Step 130 , controlling the ultrasonic transducer to perform ultrasonic stimulation on the target brain region of the user with the target ultrasonic parameters, so as to improve the target ability of the user.

Specifically, the human augmentation device is communicatively connected to the ultrasonic transducer, and is capable of controlling the operation of the ultrasonic transducer. For example, the human body augmentation device and the ultrasonic transducer are connected in a wired or wireless manner.

After the target ultrasonic parameters are determined, the human body enhancement device can control the operation of the ultrasonic transducer, and use the target ultrasonic parameters as operating parameters to perform ultrasonic stimulation on the user's target brain region to improve the user's target ability.

Different brain regions correspond to different abilities. For example, the hippocampus region is related to the memory of the human body. When the target ability is memory, the hippocampus region can be determined as the target brain region, and the ultrasonic transducer is controlled to use the target ultrasonic parameters as the working parameters. Ultrasound stimulation is performed on the hippocampus to achieve the purpose of improving the user's memory.

Optionally, the human body augmentation device may include the ultrasonic transducer, and at this time, the processor of the human body augmentation device may be communicatively connected with the ultrasonic transducer, thereby being able to control the operation of the ultrasonic transducer.

Optionally, the ultrasonic transducer may be a linear array, a ring array, a curved surface array, a planar array, a focused, flexible, or a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) ultrasonic transducer.

In the embodiments of the present application, the target brain region includes at least one of the following brain regions: hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, cerebellum, striatum, entorhinal cortex, perinasal cortex, cerebral cortex, prefrontal cortex, Auditory cortex, visual cortex, somatosensory cortex or motor cortex, etc.

Different target abilities can correspond to different target brain regions. For example, when the target ability is hearing, the target brain region can be auditory cortex. For another example, when the target ability is olfactory ability, the target brain region may be the entorhinal cortex.

In step 130, before the (the processor of) the human augmentation device controls the ultrasonic transducer to perform ultrasonic stimulation on the target brain area of the user with the target ultrasonic parameters, the target brain area may be determined first.

Optionally, the target brain region can be determined by the user or operator according to the target ability.

Alternatively, other devices may determine the target brain region according to the target capability, and inform the user or operator. Of course, body augmentation devices can also be informed.

In the embodiment of the present application, the human body augmentation device itself determines the target brain region according to the target ability, so that the automation degree of the whole device can be improved, and the overall operation efficiency can also be improved. Specifically, after determining the target capability, the human augmentation device may further determine the target brain region according to the target capability.

For example, the local memory of the human augmentation device may store a mapping relationship table between the target capability and the target brain region, and the processor may determine the target brain region corresponding to the target capability according to the mapping relationship table.

For another example, the human body augmentation device may also notify the remote server of the indication information of the target capability, and the remote server may determine the target brain region according to the mapping relationship table between the target capability and the target brain region, and then use the target brain region to determine the target brain region. Notify the human augmentation device.

In step 120, in order to more accurately determine the target ultrasound parameters for the user and improve the ultrasound stimulation effect, the human body enhancement device may simultaneously determine the target ultrasound parameters according to the target capability and the individual characteristics of the user. The user's individual characteristics are the user's personalized characteristic parameters, which are the characteristics of the individual (that is, the user) as the research object.

Before step 120, the human body augmentation device should first obtain indication information of the user's individual characteristics, and determine the user's individual characteristics according to the indication information.

Optionally, the manner of acquiring the indication information of the individual feature and the foregoing indication information of the target capability may be the same or different, which is not limited in this application.

For example, the indication information of the individual characteristics of the user may be input by the user or operator through a local human-computer interaction device, or may be carried in a communication message and obtained from a remote device.

For another example, the indication information of the user's individual characteristics may also be pre-stored in a memory inside the human body augmentation device, and may be directly recalled during use.

For another example, the indication information of the individual characteristics of the user may be obtained from the health data sharing platform.

As an example and not a limitation, the individual characteristics of the user include at least one of the following characteristics: the age of the user; the physical health status of the user; the current ability value of the target ability of the user; The improvement target of the target ability.

The user's age and physical health are different, which may correspond to different target ultrasound parameters. Children, adults, and the elderly have different tolerances, and the corresponding target ultrasound parameters may be different.

For example, target ultrasound parameters (eg, intensity) for children and the elderly may be smaller than those for adults.

For another example, because children are more active, the duration of ultrasound stimulation that they can withstand may be shorter than that of adults and the elderly.

At this time, the human body augmentation device can first determine a larger parameter range according to the target ability, and then determine a more accurate parameter within the larger parameter range as the target ultrasound parameter according to the individual characteristics of the user, so as to improve the performance of this parameter. Ultrasound stimulation effect of the user.

Optionally, the individual characteristics of the user may further include the current ability value of the user's target ability and/or an improvement target of the target ability. In this case, the target ultrasound parameter may be more accurately determined based on at least one of the above two characteristics.

Optionally, the individual characteristics of the user may further include the current ability value of the target ability of the user and the improvement target of the target ability, and the processor inside the human body augmentation device can more accurately determine the target ultrasound parameters according to the above two characteristics.

The current ability value of the target ability is the ability value before the ability improvement, which can be obtained through evaluation or testing. For example, the target ability may be memory, and the user's current memory value may be assessed by the Wexler Memory Scale.

The goal of improving the target capability may be to increase the target capability to a certain specific value, or it may be to increase the target capability by a certain percentage on the basis of the current capability value, which is not limited in this application.

The present application does not limit how the human body augmentation device more accurately determines the target ultrasound parameters according to the individual characteristics of the user.

Optionally, the target ultrasound parameters can be determined according to a pre-trained artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence, AI) model.

For example, the AI model is established based on a large amount of training data, and the current ability value of the target ability and the improvement target (for example, a certain percentage increase) can be input into the AI model as input parameters, and the AI model outputs the target ultrasound parameters after calculation.

The foregoing discusses how to determine the target ultrasonic parameters. Different ultrasonic transducers may have different ultrasonic parameter ranges (eg, ultrasonic frequency bands). Therefore, before step 130, the method 100 may further include: determining the ultrasonic transducer according to the target ultrasonic parameters. energy device. At this time, according to the determined target ultrasonic parameters, an ultrasonic transducer that can be matched can be selected from the plurality of ultrasonic transducers.

Alternatively, the ultrasound transducer may comprise a wearable ultrasound transducer or a hand-held ultrasound transducer. The wearable ultrasonic transducer can be worn and fixed on the user's head, thereby enabling ultrasonic stimulation of the target brain region. The hand-held ultrasonic transducer can be held and emit ultrasonic waves toward a target brain area of a user, thereby enabling ultrasonic stimulation of the target brain area.

Further, the target ultrasound parameter includes a duration, and at this time, it can be determined that the ultrasound transducer is a wearable ultrasound transducer or a hand-held ultrasound transducer according to the duration, so that the user can use it conveniently.

For example, if the duration is greater than a certain threshold, a wearable ultrasonic transducer can be selected at this time, and if it is less than or equal to the threshold, a hand-held ultrasonic transducer can be selected.

Optionally, the body augmentation device includes the ultrasound transducer.

Optionally, the ultrasonic transducer may be electrically connected to the ultrasonic signal output device through a signal transmission line.

Optionally, the human body enhancement device further includes a collimator, which is used for stereotaxic ultrasound, so that ultrasound with different operating parameters can be accurately radiated to the corresponding target brain region.

For example, water can be filled between the ultrasonic transducer and the collimator, and substances such as coupling fluid or PVA can be used as a medium to stabilize the stimulation effect of ultrasonic waves.
