An apparatus for measuring intracranial dynamics comprises the at least one sensing device (100): an electroencephalo-graphic electrode arrangement, which senses direct-current electroencephalographic signals from the brain, an optic measurement Marrangement (120), which directs optic radiation toward the brain through the cranium, and receives the optic radiation reflected and/or scattered therefrom, and/or a capacitive sensor arrangement (130), which senses electric potential signals of the head. The apparatus additionally comprises a data processing arrangement (150), which receives electric signals from the at least one sensing device (100), and determine data on at least one of the following dynamics: glymphatic activity, water within the cranium, brain tissue movements, water and/or electrolyte movements and intracranial pressure based on said electric signals from the at least one sensing device (100). The data processing arrangement (150) then outputs at least one piece of the data on the dynamics through a user interface (152).
An apparatus for measuring intracranial dynamics, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one sensing device of the following:
The apparatus of any preceding claim, wherein data processing unit is configured to form correlation relating to a phase difference and/or amplitude difference at specific frequencies of very low frequencies (0.001 Hz-0.01 Hz), low frequency (0.01 Hz-0.1 Hz), respiratory band and cardiac band between dynamics of blood and water within the cranium to determine data on glymphatic activity and/or BBB.
