Abstract

The purposes of this paper are to clarify the influences of artifacts on a cerebrovascular audiospectroscopy (CeVASS) and to improve the detecting precision of the CeVASS. First, we perform the CeVASS in 15 healthy adults with various measuring positions such as forehead eyes, cervical parts, temple parts, and occipitomastoid parts, and the influences of artifacts on each position is estimated. Next, we discuss about the removal of the artifacts using cross-spectral analysis. Finally, we propose an improved system of the CeVASS.
