Scope
YY/T 1996-2025 is the English-translated version of 采用脑机接口技术的医疗器械具备闭环功能的植入式神经刺激器感知与响应性能测试方法.
YY/T 1996 is one of the first standards anywhere to put a test method behind a closed-loop brain-computer interface implant. It describes how to measure the sensing and response performance of an implantable neurostimulator that uses brain-computer interface technology and has a closed-loop function: the device reads neural signals and adjusts its own stimulation in response, and this document says how that loop is to be exercised and measured. It covers the test data requirements, the sensing performance test, the closed-loop stimulus-response test and the test of the EEG signal acquisition and processing algorithm, with an informative annex mapping test signal states onto stimulus protocol modulation. It rests on YY/T 1987 for terminology. Its two-year run-in to October 2027 is unusually long, which says how new the ground is for both manufacturers and reviewers.

YY/T 1987 Terminology for Medical Devices Employing Brain-Computer Interface Technology
3 Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions defined in YY/T 1987 and the following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Brain-computer interface implanted neurostimulator Brain-computer interface technology is used to implant medical devices that provide electrical stimulation to the central nervous system.
3.2 Algorithm performance The efficiency and effectiveness of an algorithm when performing a specific task.
Note. This typically includes the time required for the algorithm to execute, the memory or storage space required for the algorithm to execute, and the correctness of the algorithm in solving the problem. Rate or accuracy, stability and reliability of the algorithm when handling abnormal or noisy data, performance of the algorithm when handling datasets of different sizes, and computational efficiency. The speed of response and processing capabilities of the method in real-time applications.
3.3 stimulation threshold The critical value of electrical stimulation intensity that can control symptoms.
Note. Generally includes a lower threshold and an upper threshold. The lower threshold refers to the minimum electrical stimulation intensity that can control symptoms, while the upper threshold refers to the intensity that can control symptoms while stimulating related accessory pathways. The maximum safe electrical stimulation intensity that minimizes the effect.
3.4 electrical stimulation strategy Electrical stimulation parameters and methods are developed and applied during treatment to optimize therapeutic effects and patient comfort.
