A pair of spectacles having bio-sensors for detecting signals in contact with a user's head includes a front frame for lenses and a nose support device which is provided on the frame, the nose support device includes a mount made of an electrically non-conductive material and which can be removably connected to the frame, the mount having first and second nose support elements thereon, and which incorporate first and second nose sensors, formed from an electrically conductive material, capable of surface contact with corresponding laterally opposite zones of the nose. Each of the nose support elements is mounted on a respective support connected to the mount by a respective screw type element of a conductive material capable of electrical contact with the support, and each screw type element is capable of electrical contact with an electric circuit in the frame, the circuit being interposed between the frame and the mount.

A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.

The present invention relates to a system, its catheter and its method for providing electrical pulses and/or therapeutic or diagnostic liquids directly to a pituitary gland of a mammal. The catheter, containing an electrode or a microcannula or both, is moved through an endovascular route of a patient to his/her sinus cavernosus and then the distal end of the electrode or microcannula is moved through an opening in the distal end of the catheter and then through a perforation in the medial wall of the sinus cavernosus, to the pituitary gland.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide an emotion analysis method, an emotion analysis device, and a computer readable medium. The motion analysis method includes: collecting a facial image and body parameter information of a target object; and recognizing an expression of the target object according to the facial image, and determining an state of the target object according to the recognized expression in combination with the body parameter information.

Unique methods and bio-imaging systems are introduced herein for self-automated self-operable biomedical devices and methods for bio-signal monitoring, such as electrocardiograms (ECG), heart rate, and other vital signs, requiring no trained medical assistance or minimal assistance. In particular, methods and devices disclosed herein may require no dedicated medical resources, generate diagnostic quality results, and provide for motion artifact correction without inducing discomfort or irritation. Moreover, long term recording is realizable. Such methods and devices reduce the backlog of patients at out-patient wards as well as emergency response in remote areas.

Methods and systems incorporating non-linear dynamic (NLD) analysis such as entropy or other complexity analysis monitoring continuous or evoked signals from a biological subject are presented, where such a system comprises of processing steps including: a) the combination of a biological signal evoked as a result of patient stimulation presented to a biological subject and a non-linear analysis method capable of capturing temporal changes in signal order or regularity; b) any combination of processed evoked or continuous central nervous or peripheral physiological mechanisms b) a means to generate a measure indicative of a patient's level of anaesthesia and consciousness depth (A&CD), sedation or sleep/wake state. Methods and systems incorporating a NLD analysis means to improve the discrimination between different signals origins including any combination of: a) central nervous system (CNS), b) peripheral control or nervous system (PNS), c) autonomic control or nervous system (ANS), d) arousals, and e) artifacts.
