Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for monitoring the response of a nervous system of a body to a defined stimulus, such as a flash of light before a subject's eyes or an audible sound adjacent to a subject's ears, or another event or sequence of events.
- a defined stimulus such as a flash of light before a subject's eyes or an audible sound adjacent to a subject's ears, or another event or sequence of events.
- EIT Electrical impedance tomography
- a further problem encountered with EIT systems when used for brain imaging is that changes of impedance resulting from neural activity within the brain are thought to be relatively small, for example between 0.1 and 1% of baseline impedance. If true, this makes it very difficult to distinguish impedance fluctuations resulting from changes in neural activity from background noise.
- US patent 5919142 dates from a priority date of 22 nd June 1995. Since that date the same research group has continued with research into the use of electric impedance tomography for studying human brain activity. This is indicated by the paper "3 -Dimensional Electrical Impedance Tomography of Human Brain Activity", Tidswell T., Gibson A., Bayford R.H. and Holder D.S., Neuro Image 13, 283-294 (2001). That paper describes the use of EIT to detect local changes in cerebral blood flow and blood volume. The data measurement for each impedance image was recorded over a period of 25 seconds. Before recording measurements, the neural stimulation process was initiated and remained active for several minutes.
- a method for monitoring the response of a nervous system of a body to an applied stimulus comprising applying the stimulus, and collecting a set of voltage measurements between selected areas on a surface of the body whilst current is being passed between selected regions of the surface of the body, wherein the set of voltage measurements is collected over a predetermined measurement period, the predetermined measurement period is initiated a predetermined time after application of the stimulus, and the collected voltage measurements are compared with reference measurements to determine normal or abnormal response of the nervous system.
- a single set of measurements is taken, that set may be compared with predetermined data to assess neurological behaviour. If a series of sets of measurements ⁇ are taken, neurological behaviour may be assessed by comparing different sets, and images representative of that behaviour may be generated.
- the stimulus may be .applied by the system, or alternatively may occur spontaneously. Occurrence of the stimulus may be detected, and this detection may start computation of the predetermined time.
- the stimulus may be a feature of an environment in which the body is located.
- a method for monitoring the response of a predetermined part of a nervous system of a body to an applied stimulus comprising identifying the predetermined part of the nervous system, applying the stimulus, passing current between selected regions of the surface of the body, and collecting a set of voltage measurements between selected areas on the surface of the body, wherein the said regions and/or areas are selected on the basis of a neurological model of the nervous system and the applied stimulus such mat sensitivity of the derived impedance measurements to changes in • the predetermined part of the nervous system is maximised.
- LGN Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an apparatus used in accordance with the method of the present invention.
- Figure 2 represents current signals applied and voltage signals measured by the apparatus of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 shows six impedance images generated at various times after the application of a visual stimulus.
- Figure 1 illustrates an apparatus for putting the invention into effect.
- a subject's head 1 has adhered to it sixteen electrodes el to el6 distributed in a plane around the head.
- electrodes el to el6 distributed in a plane around the head.
- the subject's, ears 2 and nose 3 are schematically illustrated to indicate the orientation of the subject's head.
- Calibrated headphones are provided to deliver an auditory evoked response (AER) stimulus to the subject's ears and goggles (not shown) are provided which include light emitting diodes for generating a visually evoked response (VER) stimulus.
- AER auditory evoked response
- goggles are provided which include light emitting diodes for generating a visually evoked response (VER) stimulus.
- Each of the sixteen electrodes is a silver-silver chloride EEG electrode of type, which present a relatively small contact impedance in the scalp.
- An EIT system 4 is provided to deliver current to selected pairs of electrodes via a current limiting circuit 5 and to perform voltage measurements between other selected pairs of electrodes.
- a stimulus generator 6 also provides an input for the EIT system 4 such that EIT measurement can be effected at appropriate times relative to application of a stimulus.
- a computer 7 is provided to control the overall operation of the system and to log experimental results.
- a stimulus such as a NER stimulus or an AER stimulus is applied to the subject.
- a current is passed between a first pair of electrodes for a predetermined period.
- current is injected between each pair of electrodes in turn.
- a series of voltage measurements are taken between pairs of electrodes.
- Figure 2 comprises three parts, an upper part indicating application of the stimulus (represented by a vertical bar), a central part indicating periods during which current is passed between selected pairs of electrodes, and a lower part indicating periods during which voltage measurements are made between selected pairs of electrodes.
- a start signal is sent from the stimulus generator 6 to the EIT system 4 of Figure 1.
- measurement is triggered at a predetermined time delay after stimulus application.
- Some embodiments of the EIT system may be configured to commence measurement at a delayed time after receipt of the start signal, and in such cases the time at which the stimulus generator 6 applies the start signal is adjusted accordingly
- electrodes el and e9 twelve voltage values are measured between adjacent electrodes in sequence, that is electrodes e2-e3 5 e3-e4, e4- e5, e5-eo, e ⁇ -e7, e7-e8, elO-ell, ell-el2, el2-el3, e!3-el4, el4-el5, and el5-el6.
- Some of these measurements are illustrated in the lower part of figure 2. No measurements are made between electrode pairs including either of the electrodes (el and e9) between which current is passed
- Each of the voltage measurements is taken over a period of 3.0 milliseconds with a delay of 0.18 milliseconds between successive measurements.
- the first voltage measurement is taken between electrodes e2 and e3, (electrode el being used for current injection) whereas the first voltage measurement during the second current injection period is taken between electrodes e3 and e4 (electrode e2 being used for current injection).
- the same rolling pattern of electrode selections continues through the full series of eight current injection periods.
- an image of the impedance distribution in the brain can be created using known image reconstruction algorithms (see for example "Krylov Subspace Iterative Techniques: on the detection of brain activity with electrical impedance tomography" as referred to above). Such an image can then be viewed by a medical . practitioner to determine whether or not the brain has responded to the application of the stimulus in a normal manner. That is, it is known from neurological models which part of the brain should be active at a predetermined t value ( Figure 2) after application of a particular type of stimulus, and thus the image can be analysed to determine whether or not activity is present as expected in the brain.
- the time delay t; between application of the stimulus and initiation of the EIT measurement process may be variable by a user, using functionality provided by the computer 7 ( Figure 1).
- a plurality of images may be generated, by presenting a plurality of stimuli to the user, and initiating EIT measurement at a different t ⁇ value after application of each stimulus.
- a plurality of images can be created which can be arranged in order of increasing t ⁇ to represent changing brain activity at different times following application of a stimulus.
- the computer 7 may be programmed to control the stimulus generator 6 to present the plurality of stimuli, take the necessary measurements at various times after stimulus application, and present the results to the user.
- the computer may be programmed so as to expect a user specified t ; value, apply a stimulus, initiate EIT measurement after the user specified time delay, and create an image using the measurements obtained.
- the user may determine that further images need to be generated at different specific t; values, and thus further single images can be created.
- the computer 7 is programmed to apply a plurality of stimuli, and generate a plurality of images at different t; values, delays between successive stimuli are varied in a random manner so as to avoid the subject's brain being "trained” to expect stimuli at particular times. Furthermore, the delay times between different stimuli and the initiation of EIT measurement can be varied in a random manner. Thus images are not generally generated in order of increasing time delay.
- FIG. 3 there are illustrated six impedance measurements generated at different delays after the application of a visual stimulus.
- the top left hand image of Figure 3 was generated by starting EIT measurement at approximately 80 milliseconds after the application of a visual stimulus.
- the lateral geniculate neucleus (LGN) 8 is shown as being active at the time at which this image was generated. At this time, the LGN was receiving information on brightness and location of the visual stimulus, originating from the rods of the retina.
- the LGN receives an input from the optic nerve.
- the LGN is active through most visual processing as can be seen from the six images of Figure 3.
- the upper centre image of Figure 3 was generated by starting EIT measurement at approximately 105 milliseconds after the application of a visual stimulus.
- the LGN 8 is still active but at this time neurological modelling shows that information on the colour of the visual stimulus is being processed, originating from the cones of the retina.
- Brightness and contour information is processed in an area 9 (known as area VI), at the back of the brain.
- area VI is brighter in this image, indicating the expected activity.
- the upper right image was generated by starting EIT measurement at 137 milliseconds after me application of a visual stimulus. It can be seen that activity in the area 9 has increased considerably with this part of the brain working to integrate colour stereo and texture information, ready for relay to higher brain regions, hi addition, feedback information is being relayed back to the LGN 8 in order to fine tune its processing of future information. Intense activity in LGN area 8 and increased activity in VI area 9 is indicated in this image.
- the lower centre image of Figure 3 was generated by starting EIT measurement at 201 milliseconds after the application of a visual stimulus.
- Large dark areas 12, 13, 14 correspond to activity in the left anterior cingulate gyrus and connected regions of the limbic system. These regions are responsible for many things, but most relevant here is the emotion accompanying the recognition of an object. These same regions 12, 13, 14 are responsible for deciding whether a noxious stimulus is actually painful. In the present circumstance, we can assume that these areas of the brain are determining information of the form "that was another flash". Tt is not surprising that imaging using this technique is able to directly visualise human emotions arising as a result of the sensory stimulus.
- the lower right image of figure 3 was generated ' by starting EIT measurement at 248 milliseconds after the application of a visual stimulus. Most visual processing is complete by this stage and higher brain regions are determining the action to be taken in response to the received information. Large parts of the brain are preparing for any subsequent flash, and thus there is a need for random sequences of flashes to eliminate habituation as described above.
- the described system could be used to assist in the diagnosis of a patient presenting with blindness.
- Application of a visual stimulus to the patient and examination of an image or images of the patient's brain created using the above-described BIT technique will allow analysis of the cause of blindness, hi such examination, a medical practitioner will know where in the brain activity can be expected at particular delay times after stimulus application. If any brain activity is observed, clearly the retina is not detached as signals are being sent to the brain, thus indicating that the blindness may be caused by brain damage. If however no response is observed in the brain to the stimulus, the cause could either be a detached retina, or more serious brain damage. If some brain activity is observed, images can be taken at different delay times after stimulus application, such that images created after a particular time delay do not show expected behaviour. The medical practitioner is therefore provided with an indication of the location of the brain damage.
- an embodiment of the present invention may be used to image brain condition. Electrodes are applied to the patient's head as illustrated in figure 1 and as described above. Stimuli are then presented to the patient and response monitored. A nerve stimulator is placed on the patient's leg, and triggered to provide a number of unequally temporally spaced stimuli; at a predetermined time after each stimulus, an EIT measurement is taken creating an image as described above.
- an audio stimulus is provided and a series of images is again created.
- a visual stimulus is provided and a number of images created.
- the three sets of images created, each in response to a different type of stimulus, allow a thorough assessment of brain function to be made, thus allowing evaluation of the severity of the stroke.
- the imaging apparatus required for this procedure is relatively small in size, and relatively cheap to provide.
- the apparatus may be provided to a general practitioner, allowing him to quickly and easily assess the need for a patient to be referred to a neurologist.
- each set of measurements is accumulated after a respective stimulating event, all the sets of measurements could be accumulated after a single stimulating event. If the invention is to be implemented in this way, EIT techniques must be used which allow relatively fast current injection and voltage measurement so as to allow images to be captured with the required temporal resolution.
- the present invention for example those concerned with diagnosing the cause of blindness, only specific parts of the brain need be imaged.
- the specific parts of the brain that need to be imaged can be identified.
- the number of current injections required can be reduced from the eight injections described with reference to Figure 2 to one or two carefully selected injections. For example, when imaging the visual pathway cirrrent may be passed between regions at the front and the back of the head. That is, injection is parallel to the visual pathway which generally runs from the eyes to the back of the brain.
- a parallel voltage measurement protocol may be used. This makes it possible to dramatically reduce the time taken to capture the required measurement data.
- all current injections described with reference to Figure 2 may be used, but only a limited number of voltage measurements taken for each injection.
- both the injections and measurements may be selected on the basis of a neurological model and the applied stimulus.
- each stimulating event is of short duration.
- a stimulating event could however be relatively prolonged, extending into a subsequent period during which impedance measurements are made.
- the measurement data may be processed to reduce sensitivity to effects such as noise and the. temporal variation of impedance within the brain ' during the measurement sequence.
- a Kalman filter may be used in a conventional manner.
- a plurality of stimulus may be applied, and a number of sets of voltage measurements collected at a particular time after application of each respective stimulus. Sets of voltage measurements collected in this way can then be averaged so as to provide greater accuracy.
