REMOVING LATENT NOISE COMPONENTS FROM DATA SIGNALS
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for removing artifacts from data signals. One such method comprises obtaining a data signal across a plurality of data channels, wherein the data signal has artifacts across one or more channels; obtaining a reference signal representing noise activity across a plurality of noise channels; analyzing the data signal with the reference signal to identify noise components that exist within both the data signal and the reference signal; scaling the noise components to project upon the data signal across the plurality of channels; and/or cleaning the data signal by subtracting the scaled noise components from the data signal across individual ones of the data channels. Other methods and systems are also provided.

METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A SYSTEM FOR STIMULATING A HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE
A method for titrating a stimulation parameter for one or more electrode contacts in a system for stimulating a hypoglossal nerve of a patient includes activating one of the one or more electrode contacts to stimulate the hypoglossal nerve of the patient, obtaining a first and/or second physiological measurement from the patient, comparing the first and/or second physiological measurement to a first and/or second predetermined target value, adjusting a stimulation parameter for the one of the one or more electrode contacts if the first and/or second physiological measurement differs from the first and/or second predetermined target value.

AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION AND MODIFICATION OF NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING VISUAL PROCESSING AND PERCEPTION CONDITIONS
In some embodiments, a display system comprising a head-mountable, augmented reality display is configured to perform a neurological analysis and to provide a perception aid based on an environmental trigger associated with the neurological condition. Performing the neurological analysis may include determining a reaction to a stimulus by receiving data from the one or more inwardly-directed sensors; and identifying a neurological condition associated with the reaction. In some embodiments, the perception aid may include a reminder, an alert, or virtual content that changes a property, e.g. a color, of a real object. The augmented reality display may be configured to display virtual content by outputting light with variable wavefront divergence, and to provide an accommodation-vergence mismatch of less than 0.5 diopters, including less than 0.25 diopters.

Wearable computing device with electrophysiological sensors
A wearable computing device with bio-signal sensors and a feedback module provides an interactive mediated reality (“VR”) environment for a user. The bio-signal sensors receive bio-signal data (for example, brainwaves) from the user and include bio-signal sensors embedded in a display isolator, having a deformable surface, and having an electrode extendable to contact the user's skin. The wearable computing device further includes a processor to: present content in the VR environment via the feedback module; receive bio-signal data of the user from the bio-signal sensor; process the bio-signal data to determine user states of the user, including brain states, using a user profile; modify a parameter of the content in the VR environment in response to the user states of the user. The user receives feedback indicating the modification of the content via the feedback module.
System and method for tracking sleep dynamics using behavioral and physiological information
A system and method is provided for tracking sleep dynamics in a subject. In one aspect, a method includes acquiring physiological data using sensors positioned about the subject, and acquiring behavioral data using input provided by the subject. The method also includes generating a statistical model of wakefulness by combining information obtained from the acquired physiological data and behavior data, and estimating a probability indicative of a degree to which the subject is awake at each point in time during sleep onset using the statistical model. The method further includes generating a report indicative of sleep onset in the subject.
