The present invention relates to a method to provide a mean temporal spatial isochrone (TSI) path relating to an ECG feature (wave form) of interest, such as the activation of the heart from a single point (QRS), relative to the heart in a torso while using an ECG measurement from an ECG recording device. The method includes: receiving ECG measuring data from the ECG recording device; determining vector cardiogram (VCG) data; receiving a model of the heart, preferably with torso, as an input, preferably based on a request including request parameters; determining mean TSI data values representing the TSI path relating to an electrophysiological phase representing the ECG feature, the mean TSI providing a location within the heart representing the mean location of the ECG feature at the corresponding time; positioning the mean TSI path and preferably the vector cardiogram data points in the model of the heart and/or torso at an initial position; and rendering the model of the heart, preferably with torso, with the mean TSI path, preferably with VCG data related to the TSI, for displaying on a display screen for interpretation of the displayed rendering.

A sensor interface is configured to receive a sensor signal. A transmitter generates a transmit signal. A receiver receives the signal corresponding to the transmit signal. Further, a monitor interface is configured to communicate a waveform to the monitor so that measurements derived by the monitor from the waveform are generally equivalent to measurements derivable from the sensor signal.

An example system disclosed herein includes an analyzer to analyze first neuro-response data and second neuro-response data and a selector to identify a candidate location in source material for introduction of an advertisement or entertainment based on first neuro-response data and second neuro-response data. The analyzer is to detect a first pattern of oscillation in a first frequency band of third neuro-response data; detect a second pattern of oscillation in a second frequency band of the third neuro-response data; determine a degree of phase synchrony or amplitude synchrony based on the first pattern of oscillation and the second pattern of oscillation; and determine an effectiveness of the advertisement or entertainment based on the degree of phase synchrony or amplitude synchrony.

The present invention provides a bio-electrode composition including a silicone bonded to a sulfonamide salt, wherein the sulfonamide salt is shown by the following general formula (1): ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms optionally having an aromatic group, an ether group, or an ester group, or an arylene group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; Rf represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and containing at least one fluorine atom; M.sup.+ is an ion selected from a lithium ion, a sodium ion, a potassium ion, and a silver ion. This can form a living body contact layer for a bio-electrode that is excellent in electric conductivity and biocompatibility, light-weight, manufacturable at low cost, and free from large lowering of the electric conductivity even though it is wetted with water or dried.

A system and a method for predicting kinesthetic outcomes from observed position, posture, behavior or activity of an individual 1602, 1702. The system uses kinesthetic activity sensors 102, 104 each collecting one or more of audio, video, or physiological signals and capturing the activity of the individual or an ambient environment of the individual. These signals are delivered into a computer system 106 implementing a learning routine 108 which constructs one or more personalized kinetic state models 1510 of positional states for the individual and transitions between the positional states, and further develops one or more customized multi-dimensional prediction models 1500 for the individual and uses the multidimensional prediction models to predict behaviors, activities and/or positional changes likely to occur in the future, and provides notice of predicted unsafe or undesired outcomes.

An apparatus for estimating a core body temperature of an object is provided. According to one embodiment, the apparatus includes a plurality of sensors configured to obtain data from an object and a processor configured to obtain a surface temperature, a heat flux, a skin blood flow rate, and a blood flow velocity by using the data obtained from the plurality of sensors, obtain a skin thermal conductivity based on the skin blood flow rate, and estimate a core body temperature of the object based on the surface temperature, the heat flux, the skin thermal conductivity, and the blood flow velocity of the object.

A system and a process are provided for evaluating subliminal pixel patterns and identifying trigger patterns, which are pixel patterns that trigger a response in subjects exposed to the pattern. Each pixel pattern is embedded in a digital video or a digital still image. Pixel patterns that are found to induce reactions in subjects are identified as trigger patterns and are flagged for re-testing. Re-tested trigger patterns that repeatably induce reactions are identified as positive trigger patterns and are studied further. Variations are made to a positive trigger pattern to determine whether small changes can affect how a subject responds when exposed to that positive trigger pattern. A positive trigger pattern is evaluated to determine whether it can induce an emotional, a physical, and/or a behavioral change in the subjects and, if so, the positive trigger pattern is applied to a real-world situation.
