| abstract |
The present invention consists of a method and system comprising non-linear dynamic (NLD) analysis, such as entropy or other complexity analysis to monitor continuous or induced signals from an organism subject, wherein the system comprises: a) A combination of signaling of the organism as a result and nonlinear analytical methods capable of capturing transient changes in signal sequence or regularity; b) any combination of induced or continuous central nervous or peripheral physiological mechanisms; c) anesthesia and consciousness depth (A & CD), means for generating a measure indicative of the level of the patient in a sedative or sleep / arousal state. The present invention also provides a method of treating a disorder or condition selected from the group consisting of a) central nervous system (CNS), b) peripheral or nervous system (PNS), c) autonomic regulation or nervous system (ANS) And methods of NLC analysis to improve discrimination between the different signal sources. |
