Methods and Systems for Tremor Reduction
A tremor-reduction system is provided that delivers electric current to a body region of a subject that is associated with a tremor. A computing device stores received data associated with a tremulous movement of the body region and determines measurements associated with the stored data. If a magnitude of the most recent tremulous movement is the same as or greater than magnitudes associated with prior tremulous movements, characteristics of a subsequent electric current to be applied to the body region may be adjusted.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SIGNALS FOR DETECTING AND SIGNALLING AN IMMINENT LOSS OF BALANCE OF A SUBJECT AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEM FOR PREVENTIVE DETECTION OF A FALL
A method for processing physiological signals (S.sub.EMG; S.sub.EEG) acquired from a subject (S) allows the detection of an imminent loss of balance of the subject and the generation of a signal (Aout) indicating the imminent loss of balance. The method comprises: the reception of a plurality of electromyographic signals (S.sub.EMG) representative of a detected muscle activity of a plurality of selected muscles of the subject, as well as a plurality of brain signals (S.sub.EEG) acquired by means of an electroencephalogram and representative of a cortical activity of the subject during said muscle activity; the analysis and processing of the electromyographic signals (S.sub.EMG) in order to extract a muscle activity pattern, MAP, and generate an indicator of normality/abnormality of the detected muscle activity pattern; the analysis and processing of the brain signals (S.sub.EEG) in order to generate one or more cortical response indicators of the subject upon occurrence of said detected muscle activity (I.sub.EGg; LF(k)); and a classification step, wherein at least one indicator (MA(k)) of normality/abnormality of the MAP and one or more of said cortical response indicators are correlated to generate a signal (Aout) indicating an imminent loss of balance.
CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
The present technology relates to a control device and a control method capable of providing a more convenient electroencephalogram input user interface.
Provided is a control device including a detection unit configured to perform detection of a brain wave included in a measured biometric signal of a user and detection of a user action based on information other than the brain wave included in the biometric signal, and a processing unit configured to perform a predetermined process based on the brain wave in a case where the user action is a predetermined action. For example, the present technology can be applied to a measurement device capable of measuring a brain wave signal.

IN-CANAL EAR TIPS
An ear tip for an earpiece including a body, an insertion end, and a retention structure. Some examples include an elongated fin along a portion of an outer leg of the retention structure. Some examples include an extended insertion end configured to insert further into a user's ear canal and including a mushroom cap for providing contact with an interior portion of the user's ear canal and to form an acoustic seal. Some examples may include an umbrella associated with the insertion end, between the mushroom cap and the body. Electrically conductive elements may be associated with any of the elongated fin, the umbrella, and the mushroom cap, to provide electrical contact with the user's skin for sensing electrical signals or for delivery of electrical stimulation.
Biopotential-Based Gesture Interpretation With Machine Labeling
System and methods for gesture-based control are described. In some embodiments, a system may include a wearable device having a biopotential sensor and a wrist motion sensor. The biopotential sensor may be configured to output a first data stream indicating actions of a person's hand. The system may further include a second device configured to output a second data stream, which may also indicate the actions of the person's hand. The system may be configured to analyze the first and second data streams to train a machine learning interpreter to classify actions of a person's hand based on at least biopotential data.
