Measuring bioimpedance values and treating mental disorders

摘要

Bioimpedance measurement apparatus (100) and method for measuring bioimpedance values including at least two electrodes and a pulse generator (108) for providing electrical pulses between an electrode pair of at least two electrodes (116). The apparatus (100) also includes voltage determining apparatus (122) for determining the voltage across the electrode pair (116), current determining apparatus (126) for determining the current traversing between the electrode pair (116) and a calculating device (102) for calculating the bioimpedance value between the electrode pair (116). The apparatus (100) can also be used for treating mental disorders.
