A medical device for the measurement of brain temperature data through the Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) is described. Brain temperature measurement is the key and universal indicator of both disease and health equally, and is the only vital sign that cannot be artificially changed by emotional states. Currently, brain temperature is difficult to measure. However, the present disclosure describes a device that readily locates the Abreu brain thermal tunnel, and is configured to provide a non-contact temperature reading of the brain. Embodiments of the disclosed device enable an individual to measure their own temperature and enable medical professionals to measure the temperature of others.

A magnetically shielded room, that is capable of suppressing positional deviation of a measuring tool in an internal space, has an upper shielding body, a side periphery shielding body, and a lower shielding body, which form a magnetically shielded internal space of the magnetically shielded room. A pedestal has a higher rigidity than the lower shielding body, and is located on an under surface of the lower shielding body. First and second supporting members are located on and stand erect from the pedestal. The first and second supporting members penetrate the lower shielding body and extend into the internal space.

According to one embodiment, a magnetic sensor includes first and second elements, first and second interconnects, a first circuit portion electrically connected to the first and second interconnects and a second circuit portion electrically connected to the first and second elements. The first circuit portion supplies a first alternating current to the first interconnect and supplies a second alternating current to the second interconnect. The second circuit portion supplies a first element current to the first element and supplies a second element current to the second element. At a first time, the first alternating current has a first alternating current orientation, and the second alternating current has a second alternating current orientation. At a second time, the first alternating current has an opposite orientation to the first alternating current orientation, and the second alternating current has an opposite orientation to the second alternating current orientation.

A system includes a communication interlace for receiving information that includes data collected from an array of neural activity sensors that were placed on a patient during a session of applied stimuli. A processor is configured to analyze the received information to obtain a frequency spectrum for each sensor for a given stimulus of the applied stimuli. Neural network frequencies that correspond to an indicated impaired functionality of the nervous system of the patient are selected. For each selected frequencies, a spatial map of neural activity is generated. Each of the generated spatial maps is compared with retrieved corresponding spatial maps to identify treatment frequencies from among the selected neural network frequencies. A treatment protocol is generated for input into an electromagnetic field generator to cause the generator to apply to the patient an electromagnetic field at each identified treatment frequency.

The psychological impact of entertainment material, visual objects, brands and advertising, commercial communication, the response to an individual presenting a message, or to an individual seeking public office can be assessed using methods employing measurements of SSVEP or SSVER phase increase and gaze tracking of subjects in a variety of ways. Various psychological states may be analyzed in order to accurately predict success and to enable early modification in development stages of products or communication.

An apparatus and method stimulate or sense neurons or groups of neurons in a subject, e.g., a human or animal brain, with positional dependence. This utility is provided in part by utilizing individually-addressable Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) coils so that locations of those coils in the brain would be monitored and known.

The invention discloses an assembled head-mounted module for sensing brain activity and a head-mounted device for sensing brain activity. The assembled head-mounted module is adapted to be worn on a head of a living body and includes bases and connecting strips. Each base has a hollow portion for accommodating a signal extractor that is configured to extract brain activity signals. The connecting strips are detachably joined to the bases. The bases respectively correspond to portions of the head of the living body suitable for extracting brain activity signals when the assembled head-mounted module is worn on the head of the living body. In the invention, the structure can be flexibly assembled according to practical usage and the components can be joined or disjoined freely, thereby having more flexibility for practical applications.
