AUTONOMIC NERVE ACTIVITY MEASURING APPARATUS AND MEASURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately measure autonomic nerve activity. SOLUTION: The autonomic nerve activity measuring apparatus includes: a pulse wave sensor 11 for taking out pulse wave signals from a living body; a stimulation generation section 13 for applying electric stimulation to the living body by a prescribed operation; a central control section 20 for performing the operation of obtaining at least one of pulse wave amplitude ratios, acceleration pulse wave amplitude ratios and frequency components using pulse waves by the pulse wave signals taken out by the pulse wave sensor 11; a display section 16 for obtaining and outputting an operation result by the operation even before and after the stimulation including the timing of imparting the stimulation by the stimulation generation section 13; and a recording section 17.
