Simulation method and system
A computer device may identify an interaction device that is capable of outputting a simulation representative of an identified aspect of an entity. The computer device may trigger the identified interaction device to output a simulation of the identified aspect.
COGNITIVE FUNCTION EVALUATION METHOD, COGNITIVE FUNCTION EVALUATION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM IN WHICH COGNITIVE FUNCTION EVALUATION PROGRAM IS RECORDED
A cognitive function evaluation method in a cognitive function evaluation device that evaluates a cognitive function based on a walking motion of a subject includes: acquiring walking data related to walking of the subject; detecting, from the walking data, at least one of an angle of an ankle joint of one foot and an angle of a knee joint of one leg of the subject; and determining a cognitive function level of the subject using at least one of the angle of the ankle joint and the angle of the knee joint.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAPPING BRAIN DYSFUNCTION FOR PSYCHIATRIC AND NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
A brain mapping system and methods for providing personalized therapy for a broad range of brain dysfunctions by determining the location and the extent of the brain regions that have to be therapeutically targeted in each subject. The present invention includes means to record specific characteristics of brain activity, detect and display brain regions that present signatures of disease or dysfunctions by using a computing system. The therapy is tuned to target detected brain regions to restore specific connectivity characteristics using invasive, non-invasive stimulation, neurofeedback or drug administration. While connectivity characteristics are estimated based on resting state recordings the therapy will be performed in successive steps to alter network fragmentation in dysfunctional brain regions. The improved treatment is tailored to individual patients that will learn how to reshape specific connectivity characteristics to target the determined location and the extent of brain regions and maximize the therapeutic potential. The brain mapping technology is suited for different technologies and not limited to electroencephalography (EEG) or magneto electroencephalography (MEG).
CLOSED-LOOP CONTROLLED CHEMICAL APPARATUS
A closed-loop controlled chemical apparatus includes: a compound sensor including: an analyte sensor and that: produces, by the analyte sensor, a voltage signal; a reference sensor in electrical communication with the analyte sensor; a transistor including a gate terminal such that a drain current of the transistor is maintained at a constant value and operated at an optimal transduction condition of peak sensitivity and minimum noise of the transistor; a feedback controller in electrical communication with the transistor and that: receives a transduction signal; determining a deviation of the transduction signal from a setpoint, the setpoint determined by transfer characteristics of the transistor; produces the feedback control signal that minimizes the deviation of the transduction signal from the based on a control model; and communicates the feedback control signal to the reference sensor for suppression of electrical noise fluctuations in the closed-loop controlled chemical apparatus.
GAIT-BASED ASSESSMENT OF NEURODEGENERATION
Neurodegeneration can be assessed based on a gait signature, using a machine-learning model trained on gait metrics acquired for a patient, in conjunction with cognitive test data and neuropathology information about the patient. The gait signature can be derived from gait kinematic data, e.g., as obtained with a video-based, marker-less motion capture system.

Methods and magnetic imaging devices to inventory human brain cortical function
Techniques are described for determining cognitive impairment, an example of which includes accessing a set of epochs of magnetoencephalography (MEG) data of responses of a brain of a test patient to a plurality of auditory stimulus events; processing the set of epochs to identify parameter values one or more of which is based on information from the individual epochs without averaging or otherwise collapsing the epoch data. The parameter values are input into a model that is trained based on the parameters to determine whether the test patient is cognitively impaired.
