具体实施方式
下面，结合附图以及具体实施方式，对本申请做进一步描述，需要说明的是， 在不相冲突的前提下，以下描述的各实施例之间或各技术特征之间可以任意组合形成新的实施例。
下面，首先对本申请实施例的其中一个应用领域(即植入式神经刺激器)进行简单说明。
植入式神经刺激系统(一种神经刺激系统)主要包括植入患者体内的刺激器(即植入式神经刺激器，一种植入式医疗设备)以及设置于患者体外的程控设备。相关的神经调控技术主要是通过立体定向手术在生物体的组织的特定部位(即靶点)植入电极，并由植入患者体内的刺激器经电极向靶点发放电脉冲，调控相应神经结构和网络的电活动及其功能，从而改善症状、缓解病痛。其中，刺激器可以是植入式神经电刺激装置、植入式心脏电刺激系统(又称心脏起搏器)、植入式药物输注装置(Implantable Drug Delivery System，简称I DDS)和导线转接装置中的任意一种。植入式神经电刺激装置例如是脑深部电刺激系统(Deep Brain Stimulation，简称DBS)、植入式脑皮层刺激系统(Cortical Nerve Stimulation，简称CNS)、植入式脊髓电刺激系统(Spinal Cord Stimulation，简称SCS)、植入式骶神经电刺激系统(Sacral Nerve Stimulation，简称SNS)、植入式迷走神经电刺激系统(Vagus Nerve Stimulation，简称VNS)等。
刺激器可以包括IPG和电极导线，还可以包括延伸导线。IPG(implantable pulse generator，植入式脉冲发生器)设置于患者体内，IPG可以包括控制模块，接收程控设备发送的程控指令。IPG依靠密封电池和电路向体内组织提供可控制的电刺激能量，通过植入的电极导线，为体内组织的特定区域递送一路或两路可控制的特定电刺激。当体内组织的特定区域在脑深部区域时，电极导线可以是脑深部电极。延伸导线配合IPG使用，作为电刺激信号的传递媒体，将IPG产生的电刺激信号，传递给电极导线。电极导线通过多个电极触点，向体内组织的特定区域递送电刺激。可以理解为，刺激器设置有单侧或双侧的一路或多路电极导线，电极导线上设置有多个电极触点，电极触点可以均匀排列或者非均匀排列在电极导线的周向上。作为一个示例，电极触点可以以4行3列的阵列(共计12个电极触点)排列在电极导线的周向上。电极触点可以包括刺激触点和/或采集触点。电极触点例如可以采用片状、环状、点状等形状。
当患者的疾病类型不同时，受刺激的部位一般来说是不同的，所使用的刺激 触点(单源或多源)的数量、一路或多路(单通道或多通道)特定电刺激信号的运用以及刺激参数数据也是不同的。本申请实施例对适用的疾病类型不做限定，其可以是脑深部刺激(DBS)、脊髓刺激(SCS)、骨盆刺激、胃刺激、外周神经刺激、功能性电刺激所适用的疾病类型。其中，DBS可以用于治疗或管理的疾病类型包括但不限于：痉挛疾病(例如，癫痫)、疼痛、偏头痛、精神疾病(例如，重度抑郁症(MDD))、躁郁症、焦虑症、创伤后压力心理障碍症、轻郁症、强迫症(OCD)、行为障碍、情绪障碍、记忆障碍、心理状态障碍、移动障碍(例如，特发性震颤或帕金森氏病)、亨廷顿病、阿尔茨海默症、药物成瘾症、孤独症或其他神经学或精神科疾病和损害。
本申请实施例中，程控设备和刺激器建立程控连接时，可以利用程控设备调整刺激器的刺激参数(不同的刺激参数所对应的电刺激信号不同)，也可以通过刺激器感测患者脑深部的生物电活动以采集得到电生理信号，并可以通过所采集到的电生理信号来继续调节刺激器的电刺激信号的刺激参数。
刺激参数可以包括：频率(例如是单位时间1s内的电刺激脉冲信号个数，单位为Hz)、脉宽(每个脉冲的持续时间，单位为μs)、幅值(一般用电压表述，即每个脉冲的强度，单位为V)、时序(例如可以是连续或者触发)、刺激模式(包括电流模式、电压模式、定时刺激模式和循环刺激模式中的一种或多种)、医生控制上限及下限(医生可调节的范围)和患者控制上限及下限(患者可自主调节的范围)中的一种或多种。
在一个具体应用场景中，可以在电流模式或者电压模式下对刺激器的各刺激参数进行调节。
程控设备可以是医生程控设备(即医生使用的程控设备)或者患者程控设备(即患者使用的程控设备)。医生程控设备例如可以是搭载有程控软件的平板电脑、笔记本电脑、台式计算机、手机等智能终端设备。患者程控设备例如可以是搭载有程控软件的平板电脑、笔记本电脑、台式计算机、手机等智能终端设备，患者程控设备还可以是其他具有程控功能的电子设备(例如是具有程控功能的充电器、数据采集设备)。
本申请实施例对医生程控设备和刺激器的数据交互不进行限制，当医生远程程控时，医生程控设备可以通过服务器、患者程控设备与刺激器进行数据交互。 当医生线下和患者面对面进行程控时，医生程控设备可以通过患者程控设备与刺激器进行数据交互，医生程控设备还可以直接与刺激器进行数据交互。
在一些可能的方式中，患者程控设备可以包括(与服务器通信的)主机和(与刺激器通信的)子机，主机和子机可通信的连接。其中，医生程控设备可以通过3G/4G/5G网络与服务器进行数据交互，服务器可以通过3G/4G/5G网络与主机进行数据交互，主机可以通过蓝牙协议/WIFI协议/USB协议与子机进行数据交互，子机可以通过401MHz-406MHz工作频段/2.4GHz-2.48GHz工作频段与刺激器进行数据交互，医生程控设备可以通过401MHz-406MHz工作频段/2.4GHz-2.48GHz工作频段与刺激器直接进行数据交互。
如图1所示，图1是本申请实施例提供的一种脑部医疗分析装置(植入式神经刺激器)的结构示意图。本申请的一实施例提供一种脑部医疗分析装置，包括：控制单元1，其具有第一选择连接端、第二选择连接端、电极连接端和控制连接端；脑深部电极2，其经由延伸导线7(参见图5)连接于控制单元1的电极连接端，处理器3，其连接于控制单元1的控制连接端，并向控制单元1输出控制信号，刺激信号发生单元4，其连接于控制单元1的第一选择连接端，并经由脑深部电极2输出对脑部进行刺激的电刺激信号；以及信号采集单元5，其连接于控制单元1的第二选择连接端，并经由脑深部电极2采集脑电信号，控制单元1根据从处理器接收的控制信号来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态。
脑电信号可以包括脑深度单细胞电信号(又称为脑深度单神经元电信号)、脑深度局部场电位信号(简称为LFP信号)中的一种或多种。也就是说，本申请所采集的脑电信号可以是单细胞级的，也可以是核团级的。
根据以上的方案，能够通过控制单元1来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态，从而能够切换刺激信号发生单元4与脑深部电极2接通的状态以及信号采集单元5与脑深部电极2接通的状态，从而能够利用一个电极实现脑深部电刺激和脑电信号采集这两种功能，能够避免在人体内植入过多的电极，减小创伤，而且，由于利用一个装置实现信号采集和电刺激，因此有利于后期的数据分析，能够方便地对比电刺激时脑(深部)电信号的改变，从而探索出不同疾病和脑部结构的电生理信号特征，对刺激 触点的选择、电刺激参数的合理设置、闭环刺激、治疗效果评价等都有重大意义。
下面，对本申请的脑部医疗分析装置的各组成部件进行详细说明。
刺激信号发生单元4为产生对患者脑部进行刺激的电刺激信号的部件，信号采集单元5为采集患者脑电信号的部件。脑深部电极2被深植在患者的脑部，既可以利用刺激信号发生单元产生4的电刺激信号对患者的脑部进行电刺激，也可以采集患者的脑电信号并传递到信号采集单元5。
在本申请的实施例中，处理器3可以选择电脑等设备，只要能够产生符合需要的控制信号即可。也就是说，处理器3可以设置于患者体外，也可以设置于患者体内。
本申请实施例的控制单元1具有第一选择连接端、第二选择连接端、电极连接端和控制连接端，分别通过有线或无线形式与以上部件连接。在一个实际应用中，具体地，第一选择连接端通过有线形式连接于刺激信号发生单元4、第二选择连接端通过有线形式连接于信号采集单元5、电极连接端通过延伸导线连接于脑深部电极2，控制连接端通过有线形式连接于处理器3(即电脑等设备)。控制连接端也可以通过无线形式与处理器3相连并接收控制信号。
控制单元1利用与处理器3连接的控制连接端接收控制信号，从而控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态(即刺激信号发生单元4与脑深部电极2的接通或断开状态)以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态(即信号采集单元5与脑深部电极2的接通或断开状态)。
在本实施例中，控制单元1包含多个开关电路6。例如在图2中，图2是本申请实施例提供的一种控制单元的结构示意图，作为一个例子，示出控制单元1包括四个开关电路6a、6b、6c、6d。四个开关电路6a～6d分别具有第一选择连接端的一个连接通道(与刺激信号发生单元4连接的一个连接通道。以下，记为4a～4d)、第二选择连接端的一个连接通道(与信号采集单元5连接的一个连接通道。以下，记为5a～5d)、电极连接端的一个连接通道(与脑深部电极2连接的一个连接通道。以下，记为2a～2d)以及控制连接端的一个连接通道(与处理器3连接的一个连接通道。以下，记为3a～3d)。
多个开关电路6根据来自处理器3的多路控制信号分别控制第一选择连接端的各连接通道4a～4d与电极连接端的各连接通道2a～2d的接通状态以及第二选 择连接端的各连接通道5a～5d与电极连接端的各连接通道2a～2d的接通状态。例如多个开关电路6根据来自处理器3的多路控制信号来分别切换为第一状态或第二状态。
在第一状态中，开关电路6a～6d使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4a～4d与电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d接通，且使第二选择连接端的连接通道5a～5d与电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d断开。具体地，在第一状态中，开关电路6a使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，且使第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开；开关电路6b使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4b与电极连接端的连接通道2b接通，且使第二选择连接端的连接通道5b与电极连接端的连接通道2b断开；开关电路6c使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4c与电极连接端的连接通道2c接通，且使第二选择连接端的连接通道5c与电极连接端的连接通道2c断开；开关电路6d使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4d与电极连接端的连接通道2d接通，且使第二选择连接端的连接通道5d与电极连接端的连接通道2d断开。
在第二状态中，开关电路6a～6d使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5a～5d与电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d接通，且使第一选择连接端的连接通道4a～4d与电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d断开。具体地，在第二状态中，开关电路6a使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，且使第一选择连接端的连接通道4a与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开；开关电路6b使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5b与电极连接端的连接通道2b接通，且使第一选择连接端的连接通道4b与电极连接端的连接通道2b断开；开关电路6c使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5c与电极连接端的连接通道2c接通，且使第一选择连接端的连接通道4c与电极连接端的连接通道2c断开；开关电路6d使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5d与电极连接端的连接通道2d接通，且使第一选择连接端的连接通道4d与电极连接端的连接通道2d断开。
由此，利用控制单元1的各开关电路6a～6d，能够实现刺激信号发生单元4到脑深部电极2的通路以及信号采集单元5到脑深部电极2的通路。
例如，作为一个例子，当开关电路6a、6b处于第一状态且开关电路6c、6d处于第二状态时，第一选择连接端的连接通道4a、4b与电极连接端的连接通道 2a、2b成为通路，而第二选择连接端的连接通道5c、5d与电极连接端的连接通道2c、2d成为通路。从而能够利用与电极连接端的连接通道2a、2b连接的脑深部电极2对患者脑部进行电刺激，而利用与电极连接端的连接通道2c、2d连接的脑深部电极2收集患者的脑电信号。在本实施例中，例如电极连接端的各连接通道分别通过延伸导线连接有一个脑深部电极2。
根据以上方案，能够利用多个开关电路6a～6d分别控制多个脑深部电极2的连接对象，从而能够利用同一个电极实现电刺激和脑电信号采集。且由于是利用同一个电极实现电刺激和脑电信号采集，因此能够实现对同一个点位(脑部位置)的电刺激和信号采集，有利于后期的数据分析和研究。
下面，对本申请的控制单元1中的开关电路6的具体结构进行说明。
如图3和图4所示，图3是本申请实施例提供的脑部医疗分析装置和控制单元中的开关电路的结构示意图，图4是本申请实施例提供的脑部医疗分析装置和控制单元中的开关电路的另一种结构示意图。本申请的开关电路6(6a～6d)分别包含两个晶体管和两个光耦元器件。在图3和图4中，虽然标记a～d(2a～2d、3a～3d、4a～4d、5a～5d、6a～6d)来表征多个部件，但在本说明书的相关说明中，仅以其中的一个部件作为例子进行说明。例如，对于开关电路6a～6d，仅以一个开关电路6a为例进行说明，对其他部件也以相同的方式进行说明。
开关电路6a包含两个晶体管和两个光耦元器件，两个晶体管中的一个晶体管的第一连接端成为第一选择连接端的一个连接通道4a，另一个晶体管的第一连接端成为第二选择连接端的一个连接通道5a。两个晶体管的第二连接端彼此连接，其连接点成为电极连接端的一个连接通道2a。此外，两个晶体管的控制端分别与两个光耦元器件的输出端相连，两个光耦元器件的输入端成为控制连接端的一个连接通道3a。
本申请的晶体管例如是场效应管(例如是MOSFET，金属氧化物半导体场效应管)，可以通过对控制端电压的控制来控制第二连接端输出。此时，晶体管(即MOSFET)的第一连接端是源极，第二连接端是漏极，控制端是栅极。
或者，本申请的晶体管例如是三极管，可以通过对控制端电压的控制来控制第二连接端输出。此时，晶体管(即三极管)的第一连接端是发射极，第二连接端是集电极，控制端是基极。
光耦元器件是以光为媒介来传输电信号的器件，本申请的光耦元器件是将发光器(例如红外发光二极管LED)与受光器(光敏半导体、光敏电阻)封装在同一管壳内而成的器件。当光耦元器件的输入端被施加电信号时，发光器发出光线、受光器接收光线后会产生电流，并从输出端输出。
如图3和图4所示，光耦元器件的输入端成为控制连接端的一个连接通道3a，当从控制连接端的连接通道3a接收到控制信号(包括高电平和低电平两种情况)时，两个光耦元器件中的一个光耦元器件的发光器会发光，从而与该光耦元器件对应的晶体管导通，而另一个光耦元器件的发光器不发光，与该光耦元器件对应的晶体管不导通，从而第一选择连接端的一个连接通道4a和第二选择连接端的一个连接通道5a中的一者与电极连接端的一个连接通道2a接通，而另一者与电极连接端的一个连接通道2a断开。即，通过改变控制信号能够改变光耦元器件的接通和断开状态(两个光耦元器件中总是一者接通另一者断开)，能够使开关电路6a切换第一状态和第二状态。
在本申请中，作为开关电路6a～6d的具体结构可以有图3和图4两种实现方式。下面分别说明开关电路6a～6d的两种实现方式。
(实现方式一)
如图3所示，两个光耦元器件分别包含第一发光元件和第二发光元件，第一发光元件的阳极与第二发光元件的阴极相连，且第一发光元件的阳极和第二发光元件的阴极的连接点成为控制连接端的一个连接通道3a。第一发光元件的阴极接地，第二发光元件的阳极接工作电压(Vcc)。
此时，当从控制连接端的一个连接通道3a接收到高电平的控制电压时，第一发光元件发光，第二发光元件不发光，从而与第一发光元件对应的晶体管的控制端有输入，与第二发光元件对应的晶体管的控制端无输入。从而第一选择连接端的连接通道4a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，而第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开。
当从控制连接端的一个连接通道3a接收到低电平的控制电压时，第二发光元件发光，第一发光元件不发光，从而与第二发光元件对应的晶体管的控制端有输入，与第一发光元件对应的晶体管的控制端无输入。从而第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，而第二选择连接端的连接通道4a 与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开。
由此，两个光耦元器件的输入端直接与处理器连接，通过改变控制信号，能够使得两个光耦元器件分别处于接通和断开的状态，从而能够使开关电路6a(开关电路6b～6d)切换第一状态和第二状态。
(实现方式二)
如图4所示，相比于实现方式一中光耦元器件的输入端直接与处理器连接的结构，实现方式二中，光耦元器件的输入端经由反向驱动器与处理器3连接。
其中，反向驱动器可以选择性地将输入信号的相位反转180度以输出。反向驱动器可以是TTL(Transistor Transistor Logic)反相器、CMOS(Complementar y Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor)反相器中的一种或多种。
具体地，第一光耦元器件和第二光耦元器件的发光元件的阴极接地(GND)，且阳极分别与反向驱动器的两个输出端相连。反向驱动器的一端接工作电压(V CC)，另一端连接处理器3并接收控制信号，且该反向驱动器可以基于接收到的控制信号产生与该控制信号相同电平(即同为高电平或同为低电平)的第一信号和与该控制信号相反电平(当控制信号为高电平时，相反电平为低电平；当控制信号为低电平时，相反电平为高电平)的第二信号。
此时，如图4所示，当从控制连接端的一个连接通道3a接收到低电平的控制电压时，利用反向驱动器分别产生低电平的第一信号和高电平的第二信号。低电平的第一信号被施加到第一光耦元器件的发光元件的阳极，高电平的第二信号被施加到第二光耦元器件的发光元件的阳极，由此，第一光耦元器件的发光元件不发光，不会在相应的晶体管的控制端产生输出，第二光耦元器件的发光元件发光，在相应的晶体管的控制端产生输出，从而开关电路6a成为第二状态(即使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，且使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4a与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开)。
另外，在图4所示的实现方式2的开关电路6中，当从控制连接端的一个连接通道3a接收到高电平的控制电压时，利用反向驱动器分别产生高电平的第一信号和低电平的第二信号。高电平的第一信号被施加到第一光耦元器件的发光元件的阳极，低电平的第二信号被施加到第二光耦元器件的发光元件的阳极，由此，第一光耦元器件的发光元件发光，在相应的晶体管的控制端产生输出，第二光耦 元器件的发光元件不发光，不会在相应的晶体管的控制端产生输出，从而开关电路6a成为第一状态(即使得第一选择连接端的连接通道4a与电极连接端的连接通道2a接通，且使得第二选择连接端的连接通道5a与电极连接端的连接通道2a断开)。
通过以上开关电路6a～6d，能够使得控制单元1能够根据控制信号来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态。由于控制单元1具有多个开关电路6a～6d(并不限定开关电路的数量)，因此能够分别控制各个连接通道的接通断开情况，能够使各个连接通道分别处于不同的状态，从而例如能够实现同时进行电刺激和LFP信号收集的功能。
此外，在本申请中，处理器3能够以第一控制方式和第二控制方式工作，当以第一控制方式工作时，处理器3发出多路控制信号，以控制多个开关电路6a～6d中的一部分开关电路切换成第一状态，且控制另一部分开关电路切换成第二状态，在处理器3以第二控制方式工作时，处理器3发出多路控制信号控制所有的开关电路6a～6d切换成第二状态。
作为一个例子，在第一控制方式中，处理器3使得开关电路6a、6b切换成第一状态，并使得开关电路6c、6d切换成第二状态。
具体地，处理器3向控制连接端的连接通道3a、3b输出高电平的控制信号，并向控制连接端的连接通道3c、3d输出低电平的控制信号，由此，第一选择连接端的连接通道4a、4b与电极连接端的连接通道2a、2b接通，第二选择连接端的连接通道5a、5b与电极连接端的连接通道2a、2b断开，第一选择连接端的连接通道4c、4d与电极连接端的连接通道2c、2d断开，第二选择连接端的连接通道5c、5d与电极连接端的连接通道2c、2d接通。由此，刺激信号发生单元4能够通过第一选择连接端的连接通道4a、4b以及电极连接端的连接通道2a、2b，利用脑深部电极2发出刺激信号从而对脑深部进行电刺激，信号采集单元5能够通过第二选择连接端的连接通道5c、5d以及电极连接端的连接通道2c、2d，利用脑深部电极采集脑电信号。
作为一个例子，在第二控制方式中，处理器3向控制连接端的连接通道3a～3d输出低电平的信号，从而第一选择连接端的连接通道4a～4d与电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d断开，第二选择连接端的连接通道5a～5d与电极连接端的连接 通道2a～2d接通。由此，信号采集单元5能够通过第二选择连接端的连接通道5a～5d以及电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d，利用脑深部电极采集脑电信号。在处理器3进行第二控制方式时，所有的第二选择连接端的连接通道5a～5d以及电极连接端的连接通道2a～2d都不会受到电刺激信号的干扰，能够采集到干净(不受刺激信号干扰)的脑电信号。
此外，在本申请实施例中，处理器3以规定周期进行循环控制，例如，规定周期包括第一时长的第一控制方式和第二时长的第二控制方式，处理器3在进行第一时长的第一控制方式后进行第二时长的第二控制方式。
在本实施例中，第一时长为60s，第二时长为30s。
根据以上的说明，本申请提供了一种脑部医疗分析装置，包括：
控制单元1，其具有第一选择连接端、第二选择连接端、电极连接端和控制连接端；脑深部电极2，其经由延伸导线7连接于电极连接端；处理器3，其连接于控制连接端，并向控制单元1输出控制信号；刺激信号发生单元4，其连接于第一选择连接端，并经由脑深部电极2输出对脑部进行刺激的电刺激信号；以及信号采集单元5，其连接于第二选择连接端，并经由脑深部电极2采集脑电信号，控制单元1根据控制信号来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态。
此外，本申请还提供了一种用于脑部医疗分析装置的控制单元1，控制单元1具有第一选择连接端、第二选择连接端、电极连接端和控制连接端，且控制单元1根据控制信号来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态。
根据以上说明的脑部医疗分析装置和控制单元，能够通过控制单元1来控制第一选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态以及第二选择连接端与电极连接端的接通状态，从而能够切换刺激信号发生单元4与脑深部电极2接通的状态以及信号采集单元5与脑深部电极2接通的状态，从而能够利用一个电极实现脑深部电刺激和脑电信号采集这两种功能，能够避免在人体内植入过多的电极，减小创伤，而且，由于利用一个装置实现信号采集和电刺激，因此有利于后期的数据分析，能够方便地对比电刺激时脑(深部)电信号的改变，从而探索出不同疾病和脑部结构的电生理信号特征，对刺激触点的选择、电刺激参数的合理设置、闭环刺激、 治疗效果评价等都有重大意义。
下面参照一具体的工作过程来说明本申请的脑部医疗分析装置以及控制单元。
如图5所示，图5是本申请实施例提供脑部医疗分析装置的应用示意图。刺激信号发生单元4(脑深部刺激器)连接控制单元1，延伸导线7连接控制单元1，且延伸导线7连接的脑深部电极2深植患者脑部。处理器3(PC)通过端口(如DB25接口)连接控制单元1，并向控制单元1发送程控信号。控制单元1包括信号采集单元5(在此为LFP采集端子51)，并经由LFP采集端子51连接LFP记录分析设备52。当然，也可以理解为信号采集单元5包括LFP采集端子51和LFP记录分析设备52，这并不影响本申请的实质性内容。
LFP采集端子51可以是圆柱形端子，用于连接脑电记录仪设备如Brain Pr oducts等产品，也可以是采集卡端子，连接到装有NI公司采集卡的PC机上，配合使用虚拟仪器如labview进行LFP采集和分析数据。
控制单元1接收处理器3(PC)的控制信号，从而控制刺激信号发生单元4与延伸导线7的通路，即选择哪些电刺激信号可以传输到延伸导线7。例如，当一个连接通道a(此处用a表示第一选择连接端的连接通道4a、第二选择连接端的连接通道5a、电极连接端的连接通道2a、控制连接端的一个连接通道3a以及与这些连接通道相关的部件和信号，例如，标记7a表示与电极连接端的连接通道2a对应的延伸导线7)的程控信号(控制信号)为低电平，则断开刺激信号a和延伸导线7a，接通LFP采集端子51a和延伸导线7a，此时连接通道a可以作为LFP信号采集通道；当一个连接通道a的控制信号(程控信号0)为高电平，则接通刺激信号a和延伸导线7a，断开采集端子51a和延伸导线7a，此时a通道可以作为脑深部电刺激通道。
本实施例的脑部医疗分析装置以及控制单元1具有两种使用方式。
使用方式一：程控信号a和b为高电平，程控信号c和d为低电平，即接通刺激通道a和b，使用LFP采集端子51c和51d连接合适的信号记录仪(可以是兼容该LFP采集端子51的任何记录设备，例如BP设备)记录LFP信号。此时，LFP采集端子51c和51d可能会受到刺激通道a和b的部分干扰。
使用方式二：每以使用方式一使用一分钟，就将所有的程控信号设为低电平 并持续30秒。此时，在程控信号为低电平的30秒中，所用的采集端子51都可以采集到干净(不受刺激信号干扰)的LFP信号。
本申请的脑部医疗分析装置和控制单元通过结合使用方式一和使用方式二，可以对比有无电刺激时脑深部LFP信号的改变，从而研究不同疾病和脑部结构的电生理信号特征，对以后刺激触点的选择、电刺激参数的合理设置、闭环刺激、治疗效果评价等都有重大意义。
