Pacifier system and method to study and stimulate human orofacial system

摘要

A system (100) for non-nutritive sucking by a subject, comprising: a nipple (112); a plurality of orofacial sensors (108, 120) adapted to detectaral least one signal suction and further detecting at least one signal facial lamusculatura, the plurality of unapluralidad electrode (120) configured orofacial sensors for detecting at least unaseñal of facial muscles; and a processor (122) adapted to receive the at least one signal succióny the at least one signal of facial musculature, wherein the processor is configured to compute an indication of perfilde suction based on at least one signal suction and the less unaseñal facial musculature and to compute an indication deficienciade suction using profile indication suction and profile succiónpredeterminado, and wherein the electrodes (120) are configured formaanular at the base of the nipple (116) so that curvaturade suit the subject's face.
