Listening to the Brain: A Novel Approach to Understanding Cerebral Dynamics through Blood Flow Sounds
2024 IEEE 48th Annual Computers, Software, and Applications Conference (COMPSAC) · Pages 950–957
Abstract
This paper introduces a novel concept of understanding cerebral dynamics by exploring the acoustic signals generated by blood flow in the brain (BFB) and mechanical resonant frequencies produced by the brain. The concept of this paper will be a groundbreaking approach to brain signal analysis through acoustic signals of BFB. Traditional methods for brain wave capture and analysis mostly depend on fMRI and EEG signals, which are now very popular and have some limitations in accessibility, cost, and real-time analysis capabilities. In this study, we seek the existing gaps in the current brain signal-capturing methods, and our theoretical underpinnings hypothesize that sound produced by blood flow in the brain (BFB) can be an innovative approach to capture the brain signal in a more user-friendly and accessible way. The feasibility of capturing and analyzing these BFB-sound is also discussed in this paper. We proposed a theoretical framework to capture the BFB sound through the human ear. The successful completion of this concept architecture will serve in different applications, from diagnosing neurological disorders to monitoring brain health, underscoring its potential to revolutionize non-invasive brain diagnostics. By synthesizing current knowledge and proposing innovative techniques, this paper aims to pave the way for new frontiers in understanding brain function through the brain sound generated by blood flow and captured from the human ears.
