The present disclosure discloses a method, device, apparatus, and storage medium for sleep monitoring. The method includes: monitoring physical sign information of a user in response to receiving a monitoring command; determining sleep quality information of the user according to the physical sign information of the user, wherein the physical sign information comprises at least breathing information.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to devices, systems, and methods for optimized integration of a human operator with a machine for safe and efficient operation. Accordingly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, methods, and devices which evaluate and determine a cognitive state of an operator, and allocate tasks to either the machine and/or operator based on the cognitive state of the operator, among other factors.

A multisensory environment apparatus for providing stress reduction to a user is disclosed. The apparatus includes a support frame that defines a recess. Auditory signal generators, somatosensory signal modules, olfactive signal modules, visual signal modules, and vestibular signal modules are positioned to deliver the associated to a user positioned in the recess. One or more of these signals are delivered to the user by the multisensory environment apparatus during a session. The delivery of the auditory and vibrotactile signals to the user work to meet the user's vital functions where they are, entrain them, and guide them to a more relaxed state, helping to reduce stress. The combination of the signals and the apparatus provide short term relief of acute stress, and long term benefits by breaking the cycle of chronic stress.

A system and method for monitoring a patient suspected of experiencing a state of unconsciousness are provided. In certain aspects, the method includes assembling physiological data, obtained from a plurality of sensors placed on a subject, into sets of time-series data, separating, from the sets of time-series data, a plurality of electroencephalogram signals, and determining, from the plurality of electroencephalogram signals, at least one of frequency information and amplitude information. The method can also include identifying, using the at least one of the frequency information and the amplitude information, spatiotemporal signatures indicative of a likelihood of arousing the patient to consciousness by applying an external stimulus and generating a report indicating the likelihood of arousing the patient to consciousness by applying the external stimulus.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve to treat or prevent disorders in a patient. The methods comprise transmitting impulses of energy to the vagus nerve according to a treatment paradigm. The treatment paradigm may include generating and transmitting the electrical impulse as a single dose from about 30 seconds to about 5 minutes. The treatment paradigm may comprise a treatment session of 2 to 4 times within an hour time period and/or as a single dose from 2 to 5 times during a day.

Transportation systems have artificial intelligence including neural networks for recognition and classification of objects and behavior including natural language processing and computer vision systems. The transportation systems involve sets of complex chemical processes, mechanical systems, and interactions with behaviors of operators. System-level interactions and behaviors are classified, predicted and optimized using neural networks and other artificial intelligence systems through selective deployment, as well as hybrids and combinations of the artificial intelligence systems, neural networks, expert systems, cognitive systems, genetic algorithms and deep learning.

An apparatus and method for employing the macro- and micro-structure of sleep and similar states of consciousness to optimize pain-treatment are disclosed wherein an objective biomarker of pain-related sleep disturbance guides pain treatment from a sleep perspective. Furthermore, this concept can be extended to states of reduced consciousness such as coma or sedation. Additionally, it could be applied on individuals who are non-communicative due to injury, disease, language issues and/or infancy.
