An auditory guidance system and method for medical systems and procedures are disclosed. A method for providing auditory guidance during a medical procedure includes selecting a song for playing during the medical procedure. At least a portion of the song is assigned to the medical procedure. Parameter information for at least one parameter associated with the medical procedure is obtained during the medical procedure. The obtained parameter information is compared against predetermined thresholds for each parameter. The portion of the song associated with the parameter information is modified in accordance with the comparison and the modified portion of the song is played to provide auditory guidance during the medical procedure.

Activities and abnormalities in activities are detected by: (1) receiving data corresponding to measurements of an activity occurring during a time interval; (2) determining a plurality of primitives associated with the data, wherein each of the plurality of primitives represents a characteristic pattern in a portion of the time interval; (3) derive an activity structure relating a first subset of the plurality of primitives that are correlated in time; and (4) based on the activity structure, classify a second subset of the plurality of primitives as an abnormal instance of the bodily activity.

A patient monitor capable of measuring microcirculation at a tissue site includes a light source, a beam splitter, a photodetector and a patient monitor. Light emitted from the light source is split into a reference arm and a sample arm. The light in the sample arm is directed at a tissue site, such as an eyelid. The reflected light from the tissue site is interfered with the light from the reference arm. The photodetector measures the interference of the light from both the sample arm and the reference arm. The patient monitor uses the measurements from the photodetector to calculate the oxygen saturation at the tissue site and monitor the microcirculation at the tissue site.

An example information processing system executes a game application. The information processing system obtains user information for calculating information relating to sleep of a user, and calculates health information relating to sleep and/or fatigue of the user based on the obtained user information. The information processing system controls a game progress of the game application based on the health information.

The automated determination of an individual function of a DPOAE level map with p.sub.dp,I=f(L.sub.1, L.sub.2) of human or animal hearing. The method may include reading into a main memory a model function with model parameters of a DPOAE level map, based upon a number of N DPOAE measurements of a stimulation frequency pair with respectively different level pairs in a population (p) of a population of normally hearing subjects, automatically presenting n different level pairs of a stimulation frequency pair via tone output means to an individual and detecting the corresponding DPOAE's of the individual via tone recording means, wherein at least the first level pair is predefined, iteratively adapting the model function to the measured n DPOAE's until an individual function is obtained with individual parameters of a DPOAE level map of the individual, outputting the individual function and/or its individual parameters.

Technologies for filtering biosignals include one or more biosignal sensors coupled to a user to receive biosignals and a computing device to receive biosignals from the biosignal sensors. The biosignal sensors filter the received biosignals to identify abnormal biosignals using a plurality of domain filters including a time domain filter and a frequency domain filter. The biosignals identified as abnormal by each of the domain filters are transmitted to the computing device, while the remaining biosignals are discarded.
