Fundamental code unit of the brain: photoreceptor protein-mediated photonic signaling within neural tissue and its uses in brain co-processor
Embodiments of the present systems and methods may relate to a non-invasive system with diagnostic and treatment capacities that use a unified code that is intrinsic to physiological brain function. For example, in an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for affecting living neural tissue may comprise receiving at least one signal from at least one read modality, the signal representing release of photons from mitochondria of the living neural tissue, computing at least one signal to effect alterations to the living neural tissue based on the received input signal, the computed signal adapted to cause transmission of photons to the living neural tissue, and delivering the photons to the living neural tissue to effect alterations to the living tissue.

ITERATIVE PROCESS FOR CALIBRATING A DIRECT NEURAL INTERFACE
The subject of the invention is a method for calibrating a direct neural interface. The calibration is performed by considering a so-called input calibration tensor, formed on the basis of measured electrophysiological signals and so-called output calibration tensor, formed on the basis of measured output signals. The method comprises the application of a least squares multivariate regression implemented by considering a covariance tensor and a cross-covariance tensor which are established on the basis of input and output calibration tensors corresponding to a current calibration period. The method takes into account covariance and cross-covariance tensors established during an earlier calibration period prior to the current calibration period, these tensors being weighted by a forget factor.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDUCING SLEEP BY TRANSPLANTING MENTAL STATES
A method of replicating a mental state of a first subject in a second subject comprising: capturing a mental state of the first subject represented by brain activity patterns; and replicating the mental state of the first subject in the second subject by inducing the brain activity patterns in the second subject.
Apparatus and a method for helium collection and reliquefaction in a magnetoencephalography measurement device
The invention relates to a method and a magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurement device. In the method there is determined the ending of a scheduled inactivity period of the MEG device. At the ending of the inactivity period a cryocooler of the MEG device is switched off. Helium is allowed to boil in the Dewar vessel of the MEG device when the MEG device is active and used to perform patient measurements. The boiled helium is collected via a compressor to an external storage tank. When a new inactivity period for the MEG device commences, the cryocooler is started anew and helium is let from the external storage tank in-to the Dewar vessel, where it is re-liquefied by the cryocooler. The compressor may be switched off when the cryocooler is switched on.
