EEG BASED SPEECH PROSTHETIC FOR STROKE SURVIVORS
A method of electroencephalography (EEG) based speech recognition includes obtaining, from a microphone, an audio signal of a speaker from a first time period, obtaining, from one or more EEG sensors, EEG signals of the speaker from the first time period, obtaining, from a first model, acoustic representations based on the EEG signals, concatenating the obtained acoustic representations with an audio input based on the audio signal to obtain concatenated features, providing the concatenated features to an automatic speech recognition model (ASR) and obtaining, from the ASR model, a text-based output.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING A LOCATION FOR NERVE STIMULATION
A system and method for identifying a stimulation location on a nerve is disclosed. The system includes an image-based navigation interface used to facilitate advancing a stimulation element within a patient body toward a target nerve stimulation site. Using the system one determines, separately for each potential target nerve stimulation site, a neuromuscular response of muscles produced upon applying a stimulation signal at the respective separate potential target stimulation sites. The image-based navigation interface is configured to display a graphic identification of which muscles were activated for each respective potential target nerve stimulation site upon applying the stimulation signal.

USER INTERFACE SYSTEM FOR MOVEMENT SKILL ANALYSIS AND SKILL AUGMENTATION
A cue processor uses one or more sensors to obtain motion data for a user performing a physical task in an environment. A cueing law is based on a model determined from the motion data, for example a movement and skill model where the collected motion data are parsed into one or more movement units used to accomplish a range of outcomes. The cue processor generates a movement phase estimation to predict a movement phase and associated movement feature, and applies the cueing law to generate a cue signal. The cue signal is communicated to the user as a visual, audio or haptic stimulus, selected to target the feature for the user to achieve or improve a desired outcome.
