    摘要: Distributed feedback-circuitry uses operant conditioning to train a subject to achieve a target state of consciousness. The distributed feedback-circuitry includes remote circuitry having both a feature-extraction circuit and a controller. The former receives a real-time electroencephalogram and information indicative of a target state from the subject and generates a measured feature-set and a target feature-set therefrom. The latter causes transmission of a conditioning stimulus to be listened to by the subject. The conditioning stimulus causes the measured feature-set to be driven towards the target feature-set. The controller also causes the conditioning stimulus to comprise a conditioning-audio stimulus that transitions between being a base-audio stimulus with no reward stimulus and being a base-audio stimulus that has been operated on to incorporate a reward stimulus. The controller causes this transition based on progress made in causing the measured feature-set to conform to the target feature-set.

    摘要: A driver or operator fatigue detection system may reduce or prevent drivers or operators from entering micro sleep mode and losing control of their responsibilities. Bio feedback from a brain wave sensor placed on a driver's or operator's hatband/headband may sense when the driver or operator is entering micro sleep mode. A loud alarm or other alert may sound when the driver or operator begins to enter micro sleep mode. This may not only awaken the driver/operator, but the loud, unpleasant startling alarm/alert may condition the hind brain to not begin sleep again when driving to avoid the loud punishment. When the system alarms due to an oncoming micro sleep event, the system can cause the driver's/operator's smartphone to call or contact the office/dispatcher to report the incident.

    摘要: In some examples, a processor is configured determine whether efficacy of therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient may have changed and generate a notification based on the determination. For example, a processor may be configured to determine whether a bioelectrical brain signal indicative of activity of a brain of a patient includes a biomarker that indicates efficacy of therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient may have changed, and generate notification based on determining the bioelectrical brain signal includes the biomarker. In some examples, the processor modifies the therapy delivered to the patient prior to generating the notification.

    摘要: A biopotential measurement device includes: a branching section that branches a biopotential into plural analog potentials; a first conversion section that converts one of the analog potentials branched by the branching section into a digital potential on the basis of a designated first conversion condition; and a second conversion section that converts the other of the analog potentials branched by the branching section into a digital potential on the basis of a second conversion condition. The amount of data obtained after a conversion with the second conversion condition is smaller than the amount of data obtained after a conversion with the first conversion condition.

    摘要: A system and method for brainwave entrainment using virtual objects and gamification, in which brainwave entrainment is applied using some combination of gaming elements, brainwave is enhanced by virtue of the user's active participation, and long-term use is encouraged by virtue of the entertaining nature of the gamification. Depending on configuration, the system and method may comprise a display comprising virtual objects, a light-producing device (other than the display), an audio-producing device such as speakers or headphones, a haptic feedback device such as a vibratory motor, a device for monitoring the user's attention, and a software application which applies brainwave entrainment using some combination of the display, the light-producing device, the audio-producing device, and the haptic feedback device.
