Abstract
A neural analysis system, including: a neural event extractor for generating Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments obtained from a person; a correlator for correlating the Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data with pathology data for a condition, and generating biomarker data points for axes of a biomarker display; and a display module for providing display data to generate the display with the points for use in assessing the person relative to the condition.
Claims19
A neural analysis system, including:
- a computer system comprising a processor and a display device, the computer system configured to:
- extract neural event data and generate therefrom Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments obtained from a person;
- correlate the Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data with pathology data for a condition, the pathology data comprising Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments from a population known to exhibit said condition;
- generate from the correlation biomarker data points for axes of a biomarker display wherein one of said axes represents the correlation between the Sp/Ap curve data for the patient and the population, and the other of said axes represents the correlation between the field potential data for the patient and the population;
- and
- display on the display device the axes with said biomarker data points plotted relative to said axes for use in assessing said person relative to said condition.
A neural analysis method, performed by a computer system, including:
- generating, using the computer system, Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments obtained from a person;
- correlating, using the computer system, the Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data with pathology data for a condition, the pathology data comprising Sp/Ap curve data and field potential data for background and initial response segments obtained from a population known to exhibit said condition;
- generating, using the computer system, from the correlation biomarker data points for axes of a biomarker display wherein one of said axes represents the correlation between the Sp/Ap curve data for the patient and the population, and the other of said axes represents the correlation between the field potential data for the patient and the population;
- and
- generating, using the computer system, the biomarker display with said biomarker data points plotted relative said axes for use in assessing said person relative to said condition.
