Deep brain stimulation system and method with multi-modal, multi-symptom neuromodulation
Described here is a deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) approach that targets several relevant nodes within brain circuitry, while monitoring multiple symptoms for efficacy. This approach to multi-symptom monitoring and stimulation therapy may be used as an extra stimulation setting in extant DBS devices, particularly those equipped for both stimulation and sensing. The therapeutic efficacy of DBS devices is extended by optimizing them for multiple symptoms (such as sleep disturbance in addition to movement disorders), thus increasing quality of life for patients.

Methods and Systems for Determining Abnormal Cardiac Activity
The systems and methods can accurately and efficiently determine abnormal cardiac activity from motion data and/or cardiac data using techniques that can be used for long-term monitoring of a patient. In some embodiments, the method for using machine learning to determine abnormal cardiac activity may include receiving one or more periods of time of cardiac data and motion data for a subject. The method may include applying a trained deep learning architecture to each tensor of the one or more periods of time to classify each window and/or each period into one or more classes using at least the one or more signal quality indices for the cardiac data and the motion data and cardiovascular features. The deep learning architecture may include a convolutional neural network, a bidirectional recurrent neural network, and an attention network. The one or more classes may include abnormal cardiac activity and normal cardiac activity.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MEASURING BRAIN STATE
One aspect of the invention provides a method of measuring brain state. The method includes: receiving a first plurality of electrical signals from a contact lens placed on a surface of a subject's eye, the first plurality of electrical signals associated with a first plurality of electrodes lying adjacent to an iris dilator muscle of the subject's eye. Another aspect of the invention provides a contact lens including: an optically transparent or translucent substrate; and one or more pairs of electromyography electrodes arranged on or within the optically transparent or translucent substrate. At least one of the one or more pairs electromyography electrodes are arranged to lie adjacent to an iris dilator muscle of a subject's eye when the contact lens is placed on the eye.
