Description

Biofeedback training system based on HRV
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of physiological biofeedback systems, and particularly relates to a biofeedback training system under multiple scenes.
Background
The busy and fast rhythm of the modern society makes the incidence of mental health problems increasingly higher and the mental health problems increasingly prominent. The traditional consultation psychological doctor or drug therapy has various inconveniences, such as questionnaires or consultations adopted during pressure evaluation, excessively depends on subjectivity of patients, and can lead the patients to face the problem of privacy disclosure; in addition, drug therapy is often associated with side effects in addition to being expensive. Compared with the conventional treatment methods, the biofeedback treatment method is not only low in cost but also has no side effect on the patient, and thus, in many countries, particularly developed countries, biofeedback has been introduced into clinical treatment and its effectiveness has been confirmed in various aspects.
Biofeedback is described as a "psychophysiological mirror" that allows a patient to monitor and learn physiological signals produced by the body. In some mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia, etc., its efficacy has been demonstrated. In general, biofeedback is to train a user to correctly adjust or control his body functions by using feedback information, and the user is recovered through continuous training.
The heart is an important organ of the human body and the heart rate has a significant impact on the health of the individual. The heart rate of an individual is adapted to the physical needs of oxygen and may be contributed by the individual's movements, rest, and other activity levels. Furthermore, stressors also cause fluctuations in heart rate, caused by release of epinephrine and cortisol, and accompanied by increased heart rate are redirection of blood flow to the muscular system, release of fat into the blood stream for use as energy, an increase in respiratory rate, muscle tone and an increase in blood clotting capacity. In some scenarios, these reactions are beneficial, such as combat or escape, but for pressures imposed in the individual's daily life, these reactions are negative and even severely affect the individual's health.
The biofeedback training method based on electrocardiosignals is to study bad emotion and mental stress according to the enhancement of sympathetic nerves and the weakening of vagus nerves of autonomic nerves of a human body. The change of the autonomic nerve function of the human body is mainly reflected by HRV, and the height of the HRV is in direct proportion to the activity of the vagus sensory nerve. Autonomic nerves regulate the heart and lung system, digestive system, and urinary system of people. The state of the autonomic nervous system can be inferred from the operating states of the three systems. In addition, the cardiopulmonary system has unique operation rules, the operation rhythms of the cardiopulmonary system are easy to measure, and the breathing rhythms of the cardiopulmonary system are easy to control. Therefore, we can monitor the running state of the cardiopulmonary system to infer the autonomic regulation state, and then guide the regulation rhythm of the autonomic nerve to a regular direction through the regulation of respiration.
Studies have shown that individuals with higher resting HRV tend to exhibit better sustained attention, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in different tasks. In addition, individuals with higher resting HRV tend to have more aggressive emotional arousal and better regulation and response when dealing with stress scenarios. At present, most of researches focus on the effect of resting HRV on cognitive control and emotion regulation, but neglect the effect of HRV in pressure scenes, and in some complex scenes, particularly in pressure sources needing to be participated in, the research of the pressure scenes HRV is the first choice.

Detailed Description
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it being pointed out that the examples described are only intended to facilitate an understanding of the invention and do not serve as a limitation.
As shown in fig. 1, the HRV-based biofeedback training system includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module, and a biofeedback training module, which is further divided into a rest feedback training module and a pressure feedback training module. By using three bioelectrodes, the electrocardiograph can be connected with the left chest, the right chest and the right abdomen of a human body, and the electrocardiograph and the respiratory signals can be acquired in real time as shown in figure 2. The data acquisition module and the data processing module are in data transmission through USB serial port communication or wireless Bluetooth communication, and the data processing module processes the acquired physiological electric signals to obtain parameters such as real-time IBI, HRV, biofeedback scores and the like. IBI and HRV are presented by waveform diagrams showing the interface, and biofeedback scores are presented by the amount of noise in the earpiece during stress training.
And a data acquisition module: the hardware collector selects an ADS1292 chip as a collecting chip, ARM as a main control chip, and upper computer software can send instructions to the collector through a serial port communication protocol to perform necessary hardware settings on the collector, such as sampling rate setting, gain setting and lead falling detection.
And a data processing module: and respectively processing the electrocardiosignals and the respiratory signals obtained by the collector to obtain the required physiological parameter indexes. HRV, heart rate variability, refers to the change in instantaneous heart rate over time. The electrocardiographic signal often contains a set of complexes, as shown in fig. 3, mainly consisting of QRS complex, P wave, T wave, and in some cases a U wave appears after T wave. When the instantaneous heart rate is obtained by the electrocardiosignal, R waves are extracted from the electrocardiosignal, and the time interval between two adjacent R waves is called RR interval, namely parameter IBI, and the inverse of the RR interval is used for representing the instantaneous heart rate. Thus, the core algorithm for electrocardiosignal processing is an algorithm for R wave detection, and a differential threshold method can be adopted. The differential threshold method is a rapid algorithm suitable for detecting the QRS waves of the electrocardiosignal with higher real-time performance, and the basic principle is as follows: since the QRS wave is the place where the waveform of the electrocardiograph signal changes most severely, the rising slope or falling slope of the waveform is significantly different from that of other waveforms, so that the position of the R wave can be detected by detecting the derivative of the electrocardiograph signal sequence with respect to time, i.e., the change condition of the slope. Generally, the rising edge and the falling edge of the R wave are the regions with the greatest change of the slope of the electrocardiographic waveform, and the first derivative zero crossing and the second derivative extreme point which occur in the regions, namely the R wave position to be detected by us. And carrying out first-order difference or second-order difference on the multi-filtered electrocardiosignals and combining the first-order difference or the second-order difference with a determined threshold value to detect R waves. The result of processing the respiratory signal is mainly a feedback score. The feedback score indicates how well the trainee's current physiological state matches the target physiological state. The processing algorithm is mainly to maintain a window with a certain time length, such as 30 seconds, process data in the window once every fixed time interval, calculate the power spectrum of the breathing signal, integrate the power spectrum curve, integrate the area outside the target breathing frequency (4-12 per minute) and the area in the target breathing frequency respectively, calculate the ratio, and finally normalize the ratio to the range of 0 to 1 as the feedback input parameter.
And a rest feedback training module: mainly comprises training auxiliary software and a training method. The auxiliary software interface displays an HRV real-time curve and an IBI real-time curve. In addition, the device also comprises a training aid animation, namely a circle which can shrink and expand, the shrinking and expanding speed of the training aid animation is synchronous with the breathing rate, and the breathing rate can be manually adjusted on a software interface.
Further, the specific training process of the resting feedback training module is as follows:
step one: allowing the trainee to be in a calm and steady state, and connecting the collector to the trainee;
step two: transmitting instructions from software to a collector, and setting necessary hardware parameters such as sampling rate, gain and the like;
step three: setting a target HRV range in a rest feedback training module of software, and selecting the breathing rate required to be trained;
step four: the trainee performs breathing control training according to the auxiliary training animation, when the circle in the auxiliary training animation contracts, the trainee exhales, when the circle in the auxiliary training animation expands, the user inhales, and the cycle is repeated for a period of time;
step five: changing the respiration rate, repeating step four again, and focusing on the HRV and IBI real-time curves, the higher the respiration rate of the HRV curve is, the closer to our training goal. Repeating for a plurality of times, and searching for the ideal breathing rate of the trainee.
The pressure feedback training module: mainly comprises a set of pressure feedback training methods. A pressure scene is constructed by playing hearing understanding, and a plurality of difficulty gradients can be divided for hearing from the speech speed and the content of hearing, so that the pressure gradient of the pressure scene is constructed. In addition, by setting a certain choice question for the hearing content, the correct rate of the choice question can effectively quantify the performance of the trainee under the pressure scene. Meanwhile, the trainee is monitored in real time for physiological parameters, a real-time feedback score of the trainee is obtained, the feedback score is used as one of input parameters of the hearing, and the size of artificially added noise in the hearing is controlled. When the difficulty of the hearing content is increased, the pressure sensed by the trainee is increased, if the trainee reacts to physiological tension and the like, the real-time feedback score of the trainee is reduced, so that the noise in the hearing earphone is increased, the trainee needs to manually perform self-regulation on the physiological emotion, the pressure emotion is reduced, the feedback score is increased, the noise is reduced, a better hearing environment can be obtained, and the performance under the pressure scene is improved.
Further, the specific feedback training process under the pressure scene is as follows:
step one: attaching the collector to the trainee and taking the hearing device to the trainee;
step two: transmitting instructions from software to a collector, and setting necessary hardware parameters such as sampling rate, gain and the like;
step three: hearing is played, and meanwhile, a trainee can answer questions while self-adjusting;
step four: changing the difficulty of hearing, and repeating the third step;
step five: counting the accuracy of the answer questions under each corresponding difficulty, and quantifying the performance of the trainee;
whether it is biofeedback training in resting or stress situations, long-term treatment should be adhered to and the time per training should not be too short. In addition, before biofeedback training in a pressure scene, the trainee should be subjected to biofeedback training in a rest scene, so that the trainee can grasp some self-adjusting skills in advance, thereby improving the task performance in the pressure scene.
