A method for detecting movements of a plurality of points (P) of a surface (), comprising a measuring step during which an incident ultrasonic wave is emitted into the air towards the surface and an ultrasonic wave reflected into the air by the surface () is detected. During the measuring step, each measuring point is illuminated by the incident ultrasonic wave at a multiplicity of angles of incidence, and the reflected ultrasonic wave is detected by a network of receiving transducers () comprising a plurality of ultrasonic receiving transducers (). The movements of the surface are determined at a measuring point by determining a delay and/or a phase shift between two beam-forming signals for said measuring point.

The invention relates to a method for detecting a physiological state of a patient deviating from a reference physiological state, in which, after having determined, in each of Q frequency bands, R reference matrices PRwith qe[1 . . . Q] and r&#x3f5;[1 . . . R] which correspond to the reference physiological state, the following steps are repeated in a loop: carrying out measurements, in M time segments, of an electroencephalographic signal; filtering and centering the measurements in Q frequency bands to obtain and determine M&#xd7;Q scaled matrices of spatial covariance; for each time segment m, calculating a deviation from the reference physiological state, and comparing each of the deviations from the reference physiological state to a predefined threshold. The invention also relates to a monitoring device applying said method.

The invention relates to a system for electroencephalographic detection of an improper adjustment of a ventilator used on a mammal. The system includes an electroencephalograph, capable of measuring, as a function of time, an electroencephalographic signal representative of a breathing process; and an input for receiving a respiratory initiation signal, different from the electroencephalographic signal, capable of indicating a respiratory initiation time. The detection system further includes means for specifying a beta frequency band comprised between 15 and 30 Hz and with a width comprising between 5 and 10 Hz; means for processing the measured electroencephalographic signal, configured for processing the measured electroencephalographic signal as it is being acquired, in the sole specified beta frequency band; and means for identifying, for each breathing cycle, an improper adjustment of the ventilator from the electroencephalographic signals processed in the sole beta frequency band.

System for electroencephalographic detection of an inadequacy between the state of a patient placed under ventilatory support and the setting of the machine used for this support, and use of this detection to adjust the setting

The invention relates to an assistance terminal () including a housing () and at least one terminal () for remotely monitoring a person () connected to a medical assistance and/or monitoring device (). According to the invention, the housing () comprises:
