Problems solved by technology

At present, EEG can detect the state of brain dozing off and the state of non-dream sleep of the brain, but it cannot distinguish between the state of waking brain and the state of dream sleep; electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) It can be used together with electromyography (EMG) to detect the state of the brain in dream sleep, but there is no method and instrument that can measure the depth of sleep

Embodiment Construction

[0024] Such as figure 1 As shown, when the brain 1 is awake, the driving excitation area 2 will send the driving electrical signal or standby electrical signal 5 through the thalamus 3, then through the coeruleus nucleus exciting area 4, and then through the driving nerve 6, and send it to any muscle in the body 8.

[0025] Such as figure 2 As shown, when the brain 1 transitions from the awake state to the deep sleep state, the sleep excitation area 7 increases the excitement, releases sleep hormones through the channel 9, and inhibits the excitation of the coeruleus nucleus excitation area 4, thereby preventing the driving electrical signal or the standby electrical signal 5 from passing through. Coeruleus nucleus excitatory area 4, until the driving electrical signal or standby electrical signal 5 in the driving nerve 6 weakens or tends to zero.

[0026] In the present invention, the depth of sleep of the brain refers to the measurement of the degree of transition from th...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and an instrument for measuring the sleep depth of the brain. According to the technical scheme, the measurement for the sleep depth of the brain is realized by detecting the inhibited degree of the nucleus ceruleus activation area during the transformation from the awakening state to the sound sleep state of the brain. The sleep depth of the brain is measured by detecting the inhibited degree of the nucleus ceruleus activation area of the brain during the transformation from the awakening state to the sound sleep state of the brain. The measurement method comprises the following steps: 1, directly detecting the inhibited degree of nucleus ceruleus activation area; 2, detecting the reduction of the strength of drive electric signals or standby electric signals sent by a brain drive activation area and passing through the drive nerve, thus the inhibited degree of nucleus ceruleus activation area is detected; and 3, detecting the reduction of the strengthof electric signals or standby electric signals sent by the brain drive activation area and received by any piece of muscle of the body, and thus the inhibited degree of the nucleus ceruleus activation area is detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a method and an instrument for measuring sleep depth. Background technique [0002] The measurement of sleep depth has many important uses, including doctors' examination of patients' physical conditions and individuals' perception of their own sleep quality. At present, EEG can detect the state of brain dozing off and the state of non-dream sleep of the brain, but it cannot distinguish between the state of waking brain and the state of dream sleep; electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) It can be used together with electromyography (EMG) to detect the state of the brain in dream sleep, but there is no method and instrument that can measure the depth of sleep. Contents of the invention [0003] The brain has multiple functional excitatory areas. Among them are drive excited area, sleep excited area, thalamus and coeruleus nucleus excited area. The driving excitation area of ​​the brain sends driving electrical...
