Methods and apparatuses are described for modulating multiple integrated neural networks to alter composite sensory processes, such as audition or hearing. These methods and apparatuses may be used for therapeutic and non-therapeutic uses, including enhancing entertainment and communication, by providing a cranio-cervical tuning apparatus worn in or around the outer ear or auricle. These methods and apparatuses may include functional neurosensory bias for neurosensory scrambling neuromodulation to influence composite or multi-modal sensory processes.

An anti-drowsiness device includes a head cover; an electroencephalograph, which is formed on the head cover, the electroencephalograph receiving the brain-waves all the time and generating a sleep-detection signal when a specific frequency, which shows drowsiness, is received, and an electrostimulator, which is formed on the head cover, the electrostimulator generating electrostimulation when receiving the sleep-detection signal.

A wearable device and method for multimodal stimulation of the vagus nerve having a pair of ear pieces, which are placed at least partially within the concha of an individual. Each ear piece has at least on electric stimulator which provides electric current to the ear of the individual. The wearable device also has a connection which provides stimulation instructions to the stimulators. The method for multimodal simulation also includes iterative biometric measurement and stimulation.

The present disclosure pertains to enhancement of slow wave activity and personalized measurement thereof. Sensory stimulation may be delivered to a subject upon detection of slow wave activity of the subject. The system may obtain a baseline model, which includes baseline information describing slow wave activity increases due to sensory stimulation delivered to an age matched population. The system may generate a personalized model based on the baseline information, the sensory stimulation delivered to the subject, and slow wave activity increases due to sensory stimulation delivered to the subject during prior sleep sessions. The system may then provide the subject with personalized measurements relating to the slow wave activity enhancement.

A system and method for therapeutic stimulation using virtual objects and gamification, in which multi-modality stimulus is applied using some combination of virtual elements, attention 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 means for monitoring the user's attention, and a software application which applies therapeutic stimulation using some combination of the display, the light-producing device, the audio-producing device, and the haptic feedback device.

A method of transplanting a desired emotional state from a donor to a recipient, comprising determining an emotional state of the donor; recording neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor who is in the desired emotional state; analyzing neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor to decode at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state; converting said at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state into a neurostimulation pattern; storing the neurostimulation pattern in the nonvolatile memory; retrieving the neurostimulation pattern from the nonvolatile memory; stimulating the recipients brain with at least one stimulus modulated with the neurostimulation pattern to induce the desired emotional state in the recipient.

A neuromodulator may output stimuli that causes a user to fall asleep faster than the user would in the absence of the stimuli. Alternatively, the stimuli may modify a sleep state or behavior associated with a sleep state, or may cause or hinder a transition from a waking state to a sleep state or from a sleep state to another sleep state. The neuromodulator may take electroencephalography measurements. Based on these measurements, the neuromodulator may detect, in real time, instantaneous amplitude and instantaneous phase of an endogenous brain signal. The neuromodulator may output stimulation that is, or that causes sensations which are, phase-locked with the endogenous brain signal. In the course of calculating instantaneous phase and amplitude, the neuromodulator may perform an endpoint-corrected Hilbert transform. The stimuli may comprise auditory, visual, electrical, magnetic, vibrotactile or haptic stimuli.

A server comprising a communication circuit and at least one processor is provided. The at least one processor is configured to identify whether a designated sleep preparation execution condition is met, if the sleep preparation execution condition is met, determine whether sleep states of one or more users corresponding to one or more electronic devices present in a home network are detected, and if the sleep states of the one or more users are detected, transmit a first control command indicating a designated first sleep start operation to a plurality of home devices present in the home network through the communication circuit.

The present invention provides systems, methods, and articles for stress reduction and sleep promotion. A stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes at least one remote device, at least one body sensor, and at least one remote server. In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.
