A sleep assessment system includes a housing, processing circuitry, and a sensor assembly with a plurality of sensors configured to capture measurements that include indications of both brain and eye activity through the forehead of a subject. The processing circuitry is configured to receive sensor signals based on the measurements made by the plurality of sensors, process the sensor signals to generate sleep data, apply a sleep state convolutional neural network to the sleep data to determine a current sleep state of a subject, identify, based on the sleep data and the current sleep state, a sleep state-based data feature, and output a stimulus to the subject based on sleep state-based data feature. The housing is configured to be secured to the forehead of the subject, and the sensor assembly and processing circuitry are disposed on or within the housing.

Methods, systems and devices that provide a therapeutic solution to alleviate the pain and discomfort of phantom limb syndrome are disclosed. The methods and systems of the present invention generally comprise capturing data from recording devices operably coupled to a processor and/or computing device, the recording devices configured to capture data associated with intact portions of a missing limb, one or more intact limbs and/or portions of the environment surrounding the missing limb, identifying the data captured, generating a three-dimensional virtual image of the missing limb and the surrounding environment from the data captured, and displaying the three-dimensional virtual image and the portions of the surrounding environment to the amputee such that the missing limb appears intact. The present invention advantageously provides a therapeutic and more immediate solution to alleviate the pain and discomfort from phantom limb syndrome.

In other embodiments, the stress reduction and sleep promotion system includes machine learning.

This application provides an intelligent control apparatus, including: a control circuit and a detection and heating circuit. The detection and heating circuit includes a detection and heating material. When the detection heating material works in a detection mode, the detection and heating circuit obtains a bioelectric signal of a user by using the detection and heating material. The control circuit instructs, according to the bioelectric signal, the detection heating circuit to switch a working mode of the detection and heating material to a heating mode; and instructs the detection and heating circuit to determine heating duration and/or a heating temperature of the detecting and heating material. The apparatus may be used in the field of artificial intelligence. Through control of the control circuit, the detection heating material can have both detection and heating functions. Intelligent perception of a state of the user is implemented by detecting of the bioelectric signal.

One variation of a method for delivering a digital medicine experience to a user includes: loading the digital medicine experience at a sensory immersion vessel; calculating a target value of a bioindicator of the physiological state of the user, the target value of the bioindicator corresponding to a target physiological state of the user; at an initial time, rendering sensory representations of a set of elements in a multi-sensory virtual environment within the sensory immersion vessel at an initial progression rate; at a time during the digital medicine experience, succeeding the initial time, measuring a value of the bioindicator; calculating a progression rate through the digital medicine experience based on a difference between the value of the bioindicator and the target value of the bioindicator; and at a second time succeeding the time, rendering sensory representations of the set of elements in the multi-sensory virtual environment at the progression rate.

A vehicle may include: a feedback device; a bio-signal sensor configured to measure a bio-signal of a user; and a controller operatively coupled to the feedback device and the bio-signal sensor, the controller including a memory configured to store at least one program instruction and processor configured to execute the at least one program instruction. The controller may be configured to: determine information characterizing a current emotional state of the user based on the bio-signal; calculate, based on a difference value between the current emotional state and a target emotional state, an operation ratio between a first mode for controlling operation of the feedback device to decrease a degree of excitability of the user and a second mode for controlling the operation of the feedback device to increase a degree of positivity of the user; and control the operation of the feedback device for a predetermined time based on the operation ratio.
