A system and method for adaptive speech and biofeedback control of sexual stimulation devices. In an embodiment, the system and method involve receiving audio from a microphone, processing the audio through an automated speech detection engine to detect speech within the audio, matching the speech to a control command for a sexual stimulation device, generating a control signal for the sexual stimulation device based on the control command, receiving biometric data from a biometric sensor, and adjusting the control signals based on the biometric data before outputting the adjusted control signal for use in operating the sexual stimulation device. In some embodiments, the adjustment to the control signal is made automatically by a machine learning algorithm using the command and biometric data as inputs.

A device for stimulating neurons that includes a stimulation unit that applies mechanically tactile and/or thermal stimuli to the body surface of a patient that stimulate neurons with a pathologically synchronous and oscillatory neural activity. The device includes a measuring unit that records measurement signals of neural activity of the stimulated neurons, and a controller that controls the stimulation unit and analyzes the measurement signals. The controller actuates the stimulation unit to scan at least one part of the body surface of the patient along a path and thereby periodically applies stimuli and also selects two regions or more regions on the patient's body surface along the path where the phase synchronization between the periodic application of the stimuli and the neural activity of the stimulated neurons have a local maximum using the measurement signals. The stimuli are then applied in a delayed manner in the two regions.

Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate real-time response to defined symptoms are provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises: monitoring, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a state of an entity; detecting, by the system, defined symptoms of the entity by analyzing the state of the entity; and transmitting, by the system, a signal that causes audio response or a haptic response to be provided to the entity, wherein transmission of the signal that causes the audio response or the haptic response is based on detection of the defined symptoms.

A human body support has a plurality of electrodes arranged in an array and spaced longitudinally with respect to the human body. The array extends from an inferior position to a more superior position along the body. A sensor measures a parameter of the human body that is capable of indicating the presence of drowsiness. A controller has an input connected to the sensor for receiving a signal representing the sensed parameter and has outputs connected to each of the electrodes. The controller detects whether the sensed parameter is within a range indicating the presence of drowsiness and applies a wave of electrical stimuli against the human body in response to detection of a sensed parameter within the range. The electrical stimuli cause periodic tightening and relaxing of proximate muscles as the wave progresses in a direction from an inferior location on the human body toward a more superior location.

This document presents a system for managing treatment for an emergency cardiac event. The system includes memory, one or more electronic ports for receiving ECG signals, and a treatment module executable on one or more processing devices. The module is configured to generate transform values for a time segment of ECG, obtain one or more previous values derived from one or more earlier time segments of the ECG, and determine, based on the generated transform values, and the one or more previous values, at least one of: a) a future therapeutic action for treating the emergency cardiac event, or b) a phase of the cardiac event. The module is further configured to cause one or more output devices to present an indication of at least one of the therapeutic action or the phase of the cardiac event.

Systems and methods of treating a sleep disorder of a subject include providing a therapeutic stimulation device comprising a transducer configured to emit transcutaneous vibratory output to a body part of the subject; generating physiological data with a worn sensor and providing it to a processor; providing a stimulation pattern for transcutaneous vibratory output to be emitted by the transducer comprising a perceived pitch, a perceived beat, and an intensity; causing the transducer to emit the transcutaneous vibratory output in the stimulation pattern; determining if the subject is in a pre-sleep state or a sleep state based on the physiological data; and altering the stimulation pattern based on determining the subject is in at least one of a pre-sleep state or a sleep state comprising at least one of (i) reducing a frequency of the perceived pitch, (ii) increasing an interval of the perceived beat, or (iii) reducing the intensity.

A system and method for voice-based control of sexual stimulation devices. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data to detect spoken commands, and generating control signals based on the commands. In some configurations, the system and method involve receiving voice data, analyzing the voice data for non-speech vocalizations, detecting voice stress patterns, and generating control signals based on the detected patterns. In some configurations, the analyses of the voice data are performed by machine learning algorithms which may be trained on associations between speech and non-speech vocalizations of a user while the user engages in one or more voice-based training tasks, associating speech and non-speech vocalizations with controls of the sexual stimulation device. In some configurations, machine learning algorithms are used to make the associations. In some configurations, data from other biometric sensors is included in the associations.

Systems and methods disclosed herein relate to causing an epigenetic change in a user. The methods include measuring an epigenetic marker in the user, wherein the epigenetic marker is at least one of a regulation of a protein or a gene; or a methylation, acetylation, or phosphorylation status of at least one of a gene, histone, or portion of DNA. The methods further include subjecting a user to a first transcutaneous vibratory output selected to assist the user in achieving a target state, the first transcutaneous vibratory output comprising a first perceived pitch, a first perceived beat, and a perceived intensity, and repeating the measurement of the epigenetic marker to identify a change in an aspect of the epigenetic marker as a result of subjecting the user to the first transcutaneous vibratory output.

Systems and methods are operable to control presentation of an erotica-related media content event. An exemplary embodiment is a media device that receives information from a user sensor that is configured to sense a physical characteristic of a user viewing the erotica-related media content event, and automatically changes presentation of the erotica-related media content event based on the received information corresponding to the sensed physical characteristic of the viewing user.
