Abstract:
In an in-vivo signal source detection method, three electrodes are arranged on the circumference of a surface of an living body to surround multiple muscle fibers; a first voltage V i  generated when a first external resistor is connected to between each electrode and a ground potential and a second voltage V′ i  generated when a second external resistor is connected to between each electrode and the ground potential; and a ratio V i /V′ i  is calculated from the first voltage V i  and the second voltage V′ i , and the position of a signal source in the living body is detected based on three ratios V i /V′ i .

Claim (Index 8):
An in-vivo signal source detection device for detecting a position of a signal source in a living body by a voltage generated at an electrode arranged on a surface of the living body, comprising:\n an electrode unit being attachable to the surface of the living body and configured such that at least three electrodes are coupled to each other in one direction; a connection section configured to alternately switchably connect a first external resistor and a second external resistor in parallel between each electrode and a ground potential or between ones of the electrodes; a measurement section configured to measure, in a state in which the electrode unit is arranged on the surface of the living body, a first voltage V i  (i=1, 2, 3) generated when the first external resistor is connected to between each electrode and the ground potential or between ones of the electrodes by the connection section and a second voltage V\u2032 i  (i=1, 2, 3) generated when the second external resistor is connected to between each electrode and the ground potential or between ones of the electrodes by the connection section; and a detection section configured to calculate a ratio V i V\u2032 i  (i=1, 2, 3) from the first voltage V i  and the second voltage V\u2032 i  to detect the position of the signal source in the living body based on three ratios V i /V\u2032 i  (i=1, 2, 3), wherein the electrode unit is configured such that the at least three electrodes are arranged in a circumferential direction of the surface of the living body to surround multiple muscle fibers.
