CONNECTION OF THE MEASURING INSTRUMENTS FOR DECREASING THE SENSIBILITY OF THE PATIENT DURING THE INSTRUMENTAL DIAGNOSTIC TEST

摘要

Method for decreasing the emotional influence on instrumental diagnostical measurements, wherein the patient under test is encouraged to assume a rest condition by practicing the biological feed-back method, the operator observes the success of this activity on instruments, and the diagnostical measurements are performed when this instrumentally observed value falls within a predetermined domain that is characteristic of the rest condition. An exemplary arrangement for practicing the method comprises instruments for performing the diagnostical measurements, an EEG unit for providing biological feed-back, at least one further unit for conducting similar observations by biological feed-back on at least one of the temperature, pulse and skin conductivity of the patient, at least one operational mode switch, and an indicator unit to furnish information to both the patient and the operator about the value of the fed-back characteristic.
