Abstract :
This thesis puts forward an intelligent electroacupuncture(EA) technique that imitates traditional chinese medical (TCM) acupuncture technique. In order to solute the difficulty of the fusion between TCM acupuncture technique and engineering technology instruments, the symbolized measurement theory proposed by author has been applied in the imitated approach, which make use of the problem mapping among different domains and scientize the mapping from the TCM acupuncture technique to electric parameter domain. The hardware diagram and the software flow chart of the intelligent acupuncture instrument based on the symbolized measurement theory have been given
