Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A biological function measurement and analysis system, comprising:
an input interface configured to accept selection of a biological function to be measured among a plurality of biological functions; and
processing circuitry configured to
access a memory in which is stored measurement and analysis procedure data including, for each of the plurality of biological functions, a set sequence of a plurality of pairs each including (1) a stimulation program containing a measurement procedure for measuring data of a reaction of a live subject caused by stimulation selected from a plurality of stimulation programs, and (2) an analytical program containing an analysis procedure for analyzing the measured data selected from a plurality of analytical programs, and
extract the set sequence of the plurality of pairs corresponding to the selected biological function to be measured from the stored measurement and analysis procedure data, prior to stimulation of the live subject and measurement of the data of the reaction,

wherein the analytical program in each of at least two pairs among the set sequence of the plurality of pairs is different from each other,
the stored measurement and analysis procedure data further includes, for each of the plurality of biological functions, a value for execution procedure indicating an order in which the plurality of pairs is executed and another value indicating an interval between a timing at which a certain pair among the plurality of pairs is executed and a timing at which the next pair of the certain pair among the plurality of pairs is executed, and
the processing circuitry is further configured to:
change at least one parameter of the next simulation program to be executed while keeping the type of stimulation the same under a condition that a value output as a result of executing an analytical program is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold;
instruct an associated stimulator to output stimulation according to the extracted set sequence of pairs; and
analyze a signal detected by a sensor in response to the output stimulation.
