Abstract
Automatic control system of brain tissue temperature is theoretically studied for the brain hypothermia treatment. In order to realize human friendly control mechanism, an automatic temperature regulation system is constructed to simulate the brain hypothermia treatment, by introducing fuzzy algorithm for possible characteristic change of the patients. The brain temperature is successfully realized to follow up the desired temperature course automatically. The model reference fuzzy control of the brain temperature based on water-cooling blankets is verified for the clinical application to brain hypothermia treatment through the various kinds of simulation experiments.
