Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an interactive surgical drape and system including at least one sensor and at least one controller that operates indicating sensing feedback from the at least one sensor to cause display of information on a dynamic display integrated with the interactive surgical drape. The dynamic display assists the surgical team while performing surgery and can operate to improve the efficiency and/or effectiveness of the surgical team.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REAL-TIME NEURAL COMMAND CLASSIFICATION AND TASK EXECUTION
A biosignal acquisition system for transmitting context commands based on sensed biosignals is disclosed. The biosignal acquisition system may include a computer, a biosensor and a biosignal acquisition device. The biosensor may be configured to be in contact with a scalp of an individual. The biosignal acquisition device may be operably coupled to the biosensor and configured to amplify signals received by the biosensor and communicate the amplified signal to the computer. The computer may be configured to receive the amplified signals from the biosignal acquisition device, generate a feature matrix based on the amplified signals, identify a brain switch associated with each feature in the feature matrix, predict the probability that a classifier is associated with the brain switch of each feature, and fit the classifier based on the feature matrix.
BLINK DETECTION APPARATUS
A blink detection apparatus includes an eyelid state index value measurement unit configured to chronologically measure an eyelid state index value, and a signal processing device. The signal processing device is configured to determine that a blink, occurs when a change width of the measured eyelid state index value from a baseline that is a reference value of the eyelid state index value in a case where eyelids are in an opened state exceeds a magnitude of a threshold from the baseline, to count the number of times when the change width of the measured eyelid state index value from the baseline exceeds the magnitude of a tentative threshold from the baseline, and to set the threshold to a tentative threshold at which change in the number of times with respect to the tentative threshold is minimal.
Active unipolar dry electrode open ear wireless headset and brain computer interface
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a wearable audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising. The audio product comprises a first electrode placed over the user's auditory cortex on a first side of the user's body, a second electrode placed on the first side of the user's body, a first reference electrode placed on the first side of the user's body, a processor coupled to the first, second, and first reference electrode, the processor configured to take one or more actions based on signals received from the first, second, and first reference electrodes, and an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor. Any or all of the electrodes described herein may include any integer number of electrodes clustered in the specified location.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO A USER
A method for providing electrical stimulation to a user as a user performs a set of tasks during a time window, the method comprising: providing an electrical stimulation treatment, characterized by a stimulation parameter and a set of portions, to a brain region of the user in association with the time window; for each task of the set of tasks: receiving a signal stream characterizing a neurological state of the user; from the signal stream, identifying a neurological signature characterizing the neurological state associated with the task; and modulating the electrical stimulation treatment provided to the brain region of the user based upon the neurological signature, wherein modulating comprises delivering a portion of the set of portions of the electrical stimulation treatment to the brain region of the user, while maintaining an aggregate amount of the stimulation parameter of the treatment provided during the time window below a maximum limit.
SLEEP EVALUATION DISPLAY METHOD AND DEVICE AND EVALUATION EQUIPMENT
The present application relates to a sleep evaluation display method and device and an evaluation equipment. The method includes: acquiring a sleep monitoring signal; analyzing the sleep monitoring signal in sequence based on a plurality of scoring items according to a signal parsing strategy corresponding to each of the scoring items to obtain signal parsing results corresponding to a plurality of scoring items respectively; searching for a corresponding relationship between each of the scoring items and a corresponding step scoring coefficient according to the signal parsing results corresponding to the plurality of scoring items respectively, and determining the step scoring coefficients corresponding to each of the scoring items; summarizing the step scoring coefficients of all the scoring items to obtain an overall evaluation result of the sleep monitoring signal; and prompting the overall evaluation result and the step scoring coefficients related thereto.
IN-EAR ELECTRICAL POTENTIAL SENSOR
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an audio product for obtaining biologically-relevant information associated with a user comprising. The audio product includes at least two electrodes, a processor, and an electroacoustic transducer coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to receive at least one signal affected by an action of the user obtained via the first electrode or the second electrode and take one or more actions based on the at least one signal.

COMBINED STIMULATOR AND ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY FOR MOUSE ELECTRORETINOGRAPHY (ERG)
Apparatus for evoking and sensing ophthalmic physiological signals in an eye, the apparatus comprising: an elongated light pipe having a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end terminating in a spheroidal recess; and an electrode having a distal end and a proximal end, the electrode being mounted to the elongated light pipe and extending proximally along the elongated light pipe so that the distal end of the electrode terminates at the spheroidal recess at the distal end of the elongated light pipe.
Content evaluation system and content evaluation method using the system
A reliable content evaluation method and system are disclosed. The system includes a brainwave detector, a bio signal detector, a first controller, and a second controller. The brainwave detector detects a brainwave signal of a subject provided with content and outputs a result. The bio signal detector detects bio signals of the subject and outputs a result. The first controller can modify the brainwave and the bio signals to a signal level available for the second controller. The second controller detects change of the brainwave signal and the bio signal through an analysis of the brain wave signal and the bio signal from the first controller. Then, the second controller determines at least one of a degree of engagement and an emotional reaction of the subject to the content, using changes in the brainwave signal and the bio signal, and evaluates the content using the determined results.
MECHANISMS FOR CHEMICAL SENSE RESPONSE IN MIXED REALITY
Apparatus, systems, or methods for mixed reality with chemical sense response are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for a mixed reality computing with chemical sense response may include monitor logic and distribution logic. The monitor logic may collect data about a user's response to a first set of stimulations to represent an actual chemical sense response by the user with respect to the first set of stimulations. Based on the collected data, a variance between the actual chemical sense response by the user with respect to the first set of stimulations, and a desired chemical sense response for the user with respect to the first set of stimulations may be determined. The distribution logic, including circuitry, may deliver to the user a second set of stimulations. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
