MULTI-BODY EARPIECE
20230148963 · 2023-05-18 ·

The technology provides a multi-body earpiece suitable for use as an in-ear sensor system, which can be used for biometrics or a human-computer interface. The multi-body earpiece includes two body elements connected together by a flexure. These components provide at least 3 points of contact along different parts of the outer ear, in which the flexure is tethered to the two bodies and arranged to lock them in place during wear. In addition to having stability from moving while minimizing sound occlusion, this arrangement enables any electrodes for the on-board sensor(s) to remain in contact with the skin of the ear, and provide as many contact points in desired areas as the electronics dictate for the signals of interest.

Non-invasive systems and methods for the detection and modulation of a user's mental state through awareness of priming effects
11684304 · 2023-06-27 · ·

A non-invasive system and method are provided. Brain activity of a user is detected using a non-invasive brain interface when the user is exposed to an external stimulus. The user is determined to be negatively primed by the external stimulus based on the detected brain activity. An alert that the user is being negatively primed by the external stimulus is automatically provided. A tagged training session may be automatically provided to the user in response determining that the user has a negative mental state, thereby promoting a positive mental state of the user. A training session list containing the tagged training session may be automatically modified based on the determined mental state of the user.

METHOD OF PRODUCING A BIO-ACCURATE FEEDBACK SIGNAL
20230190189 · 2023-06-22 ·

Methods providing biofeedback generally comprising: detecting a brainwave segment present in the brainwaves; reproduction of the segment at a higher octave and rendering said higher frequency as a feedback signal to the person. The feedback signal can be rendered at a higher frequency by any number of octaves, and/or musical harmonies thereof. Feedback frequency and amplitude correspond to shifting frequency and amplitude in the underlying brain/heart activity. Feedback signal is preferably rendered within 100 msec from brainwave detection, and can be administered as treatment using any bandwidth within the electromagnetic spectrum including sub-audio, audio, ultrasonic, light, etc. The feedback signal can be delivered to the same or opposite side of the person relative to the hemisphere generating the signal. Said feedback signal can help balance brainwave activity, forge new neuro-circuits, increase interhemispheric communication, creativity and brain-efficiency thereby improving a full spectrum of nervous system activity from hyperarousal to deep sleep.
