Resumo(s)
The present paper presents a dual system that can be used to measure and to generate
non-nutritive sucking (NNS) signals. The NNS measurement is based on a pressure sensor that
is pneumatically connected to a silicone pacifier. By its turn, the NNS stimulator is based on a
miniature pump and a miniature electro-valve that are operated by opposite phased signals to
produce the pulsed pressure signal that is pneumatically applied to the silicone pacifier. The
paper highlights some specific issues related with the calibration of the pneumatic signal
measuring chain. Processing and wireless transmission capabilities are provided by a low-cost
solution based on a microcontroller. Calibration and experimental results are also included in
the paper.
