METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING RHYTHMIC SENSORY STIMULUS FOR ADMINISTRATION WITH EXTERNAL NEUROMODULATION
Exemplary embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for administer multiple stimulus to a patient in order to improve the efficacy of the administered stimulus on the brain activity of the patient. Exemplary embodiments described herein may combined magnetic stimulation along with sensory stimulation to influence the intrinsic frequency of an EEG band of a person.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IMPROVING SLEEP
A method of transplanting a sleep state of a first subject (donor) to a second subject (recipient) comprising: capturing a sleep state of the first subject represented by brain activity patterns; and transplanting the sleep state of the first subject in the second subject by inducing the brain activity patterns in the second subject.

System and method for enhancing REM sleep with sensory stimulation
The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for automatically detecting rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and delivering sensory stimulation to prolong REM duration, without disturbing sleep. The sensory stimulation may be auditory or other stimulation. The system and method ensure timely delivery of the stimulation and automatically adjust the amount, intensity, and/or timing of stimulation as necessary. REM sleep is detected based on brain activity, cardiac activity and/or other information. REM sleep may be detected and/or predicted by a trained neural network. The amount, timing, and/or intensity of the sensory stimulation may be determined and/or modulated to enhance REM sleep in a subject based on one or more values of one or more intermediate layers of the neural network and one or more brain activity and/or cardiac activity parameters.
