What it concerns

The present invention relates to the technical field of electroencephalogram, in particular to a brain network construction method based on a task-related electroencephalogram activation level, and a display device. The brain network construction method comprises: acquiring a verification matrix on the basis of task-related electroencephalogram activation levels of channels; converting the verification matrix into a spatial matrix conforming to the physical distribution of the channels; and acquiring an edge connection matrix for associating the channels, i.e., in the spatial matrix, weighting association coefficients and physical distances of the channels. Without the application of electric stimulation, the present invention obtains the degrees of strength of connections between brain tissue nodes by means of examining the task-related electroencephalogram activation level of brain tissue to be subjected to function testing throughout an entire task time course, and combines the degrees with the physical locations of the nodes, so as to implement comprehensive and objective visualization of distribution and association conditions of functional areas of the brain, thereby being conducive to assisting a doctor in accurately judging the relationship between a lesion and functional areas of the brain.

The abstract as published by the patent office, from WO2025201406A1. It describes the invention; it is not a statement of what is protected.

Protection themes

  • Signal processing

    Signal processing

What the filing appears to be about, read by published rules from its title, abstract and classification codes (A61B5/369, A61B5/6868, A61B5/7267, G06F17/11, G06F17/16). The claims define what a patent protects, and they are not read here.

Why it matters

Signal processing
A decoder is only as good as the features it is given, and recordings drift and pick up noise from movement, muscle and stimulation. The problem behind it: stable features from signals that change from day to day, computed fast enough to act on.

Why the layer matters to the field, not a judgement of this filing. A patent family shows that protection was sought. It does not show that the technology was built, is used in a product, or works in people. The whole stack

Dates as the offices published them. Office records are in the offices' own words and are a selection: refusals, lapses and withdrawals, and records that name an owner. Each concerns one member of the family, not the family as a whole, and another member in the same office may stand. Whether a patent is in force today is not assessed.
