A system and method for targeted treatment of human brain function using a combination of physical and mental activity to cause neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in targeted regions of the brain using computer-enhanced dual-task analysis and treatment. The system and method involve having a subject engage in physical and mental activities at levels of intensity or stress associated with increased neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, the mental activities being associated with certain brain regions intended to be targeted by the treatment, wherein the physical and mental activities are assigned based on dual-task analyses of the subject's brain function and machine learning algorithms trained to optimize the stress levels associated with the physical and mental activities to maximize neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The physical and mental activities may be continuously adjusted to ensure that the subject remains in appropriate ranges for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity for the brain region or regions being targeted for treatment.

A wearable device for tracking swim activities of a user is provided. The wearable device may include one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data, and based on the sensor data, the wearable device may determine swim metrics such as swim stroke count, swim stroke type, swim lap count, and swim speed. The determined swim metrics may be filtered based on one or more swim periods during which the user is likely to have been swimming. The wearable device may determine such swim periods based on the sensor data and/or the determined swim metrics.

The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to tremor stabilisation apparatus and methods, in particular to gyroscopic devices for use in controlling tremors of parts of the body and for reducing effects of tremors on the human body. The apparatus includes a wearable element and at least one gyroscopic device mounted or mountable to the wearable element, the gyroscopic device including a gyroscope and a gyroscope housing. The at least one gyroscopic device may be mounted within the housing such that the gyroscope may precess with respect to the housing. The mount may include a hinge to which the gyroscope is mounted and a hinge plate or hinge mount to which the hinge is mounted for rotation with respect to the gyroscope housing, such as a turntable mounted to the gyroscope housing. The gyroscopic devices may include a control arrangement to control the precession of the gyroscope.

Apparatus (30) for detecting motion of a device (1) for electrical stimulation of a subject is described. The apparatus (30) comprises a motion detector (2) to detect the motion of the device (1) and generate a motion output signal in response to the detected motion. The motion output signal is indicative of the amount of detected motion. A processor (21) is coupled to the motion detector (20). The processor (21) receives (72) the motion output signal from the motion detector (20) and generates a first processor output signal in response to the received motion output signal. An output device (14, 26) is coupled to the processor (21). The output device (14, 26) receives the first processor output signal from the processor (21) and generates a first output signal in response to the received first processor output signal. The processor (21) generates the first processor output signal if either: (i) the received motion output signal is greater than a threshold; or (ii) the received motion output signal is less than a threshold.

An electrical device includes a processor. The processor calculates sums of frequency scores, which are associated with the respective index values regarding exercises of a user and are calculated for individual time points, and fixes the sums of frequency scores as total frequency scores at the individual time points. The processor selects effective time points for evaluation of the exercises of the user, on the basis of the fixed total frequency scores. The processor evaluates the exercises of the user, on the basis of the index values at the selected effective time points.

A method includes selecting a test, by a computer using a sports social media application. The method also includes selecting a user and sending, by the computer using the social media sports application, test data associated with the test to a device associated with the user.

An electronic sideline marker for use in football comprises a first display configured to display an indication of a down and a second display configured to display one or more timers. The second display may be configured to display a play clock, a go-clock, and/or a throw-clock. A play clock may first be displayed, and the marker may then receive an indication (e.g., a button press) that the football has been snapped, at which point display of the play clock may be replaced with display of a go-clock. The marker may be configured to output indications when the play clock, go-clock, and/or throw-clock expire. The marker may be configured to electronically communicate with one or more other markers for use in the football game, or one or more other remote electronic devices such as sensors in flag football belts, flags, and/or footballs.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a communication circuit, and at least one processor configured to recognize a user's initial posture based on at least one of motion sensor signals of a first external electronic device and a second external electronic device received through the communication circuit, control the first external electronic device to receive a first motion sensor signal, obtain the user's workout data based on the first motion sensor signal when the initial posture satisfies a designated condition, control the second external electronic device to receive a second motion sensor signal when the user's movement is not recognized based on the first motion sensor signal and obtain the user's workout data based on the second motion sensor signal, and provide the workout data through at least one of the display or the first external electronic device.

Provided are embodiments of an abdominal activator for providing posture alignment feedback. One embodiment of the abdominal activator includes an exterior portion constructed of a flexible material, where the exterior portion is shaped to overlay a predetermined section of an abdomen of a subject, and where the exterior portion is divided into a plurality of compartments. Some embodiments include a weighted material with fluid properties that is placed inside the exterior portion in at least one of the plurality of compartments. When the abdominal activator is placed on the abdomen of the subject, the weighted material provides haptic feedback when an improper movement is made by the subject during an exercise.

Training at the proper level of effort is important for athletes whose objective is to achieve the best results in the least time. In running, for example, pace is often monitored. However, pace alone does not reveal specific issues with regard to running form, efficiency, or technique, much less inform how training should be modified to improve performance or fitness. A sensing system and wearable sensor platform described herein provide real-time feedback to a user/wearer of his power expenditure during an activity. In one example, the system includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for acquiring multi-axis motion data at a first sampling rate, and an orientation sensor to acquire orientation data at a second sampling rate that is varied based on the multi-axis motion data.
