APPARATUS AND METHOD TO STIMULATE CREATIVITY VIA COLOR PALETTE TRANSITIONS IN A VIRTUAL SKY PROJECTED IN A DIGITAL SPACE WITH A COLLECTION OF GAZE POINTS EXPERIENCING CYCLICAL SIZE CHANGES
20220409848 · 2022-12-29 ·

A method includes projecting a dark virtual sky in a digital space. The dark virtual sky is transitioned to a dawn virtual sky. The dawn virtual sky is altered to introduce a daytime virtual sky. The daytime virtual sky is modified to produce a dusk virtual sky. These operations are performed via color palette transitions in the virtual sky in a time period of less than six minutes. A collection of gaze points in the digital space includes an apex gaze point, a left descendent gaze point and a right descendent gaze point. The apex gaze point maintains a constant size, the left descendent gaze point has a first oscillation sequence that fluctuates between a minimum size, a medium size and a maximum size. The right descendent gaze point has a second oscillation sequence that fluctuates between a maximum size, a medium size and a minimum size during the time period of less than six minutes.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF TRAVEL LAG VIA COLOR PALETTE TRANSITIONS IN A VIRTUAL SKY PROJECTED IN A DIGITAL SPACE
20220409851 · 2022-12-29 ·

A method includes initiating an accelerated daily light and darkness cycle experience at a first color palette position within the accelerated daily light and darkness cycle that corresponds to a current time at a destination geographic location that a user will travel to. The accelerated daily light and darkness cycle experience is executed at a second color palette position within the accelerated daily light and darkness cycle that corresponds to the current time at the destination geographic location of the user. The accelerated daily light and darkness cycle is less than six minutes and includes projecting a dark virtual sky in a digital space, transitioning the dark virtual sky to a dawn virtual sky in the digital space, altering the dawn virtual sky to introduce a daytime virtual sky in the digital space and modifying the daytime virtual sky to produce a dusk virtual sky in the digital space.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRONIC PATIENT STIMULATION AND DIAGNOSIS
20220409849 · 2022-12-29 · ·

Disclosed are systems and methods for a computerized framework that detects medical conditions within patients and dynamically effectuates a treatment via augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) capabilities of a device and/or associated application. The disclosed framework is configured for controlling computerized medical equipment by analyzing data associated with a patient, determining underlying conditions of the patient, then automatically causing such equipment to output electronic AR/VR stimuli that can address the medical condition(s) detected. The framework can determine a correlation between a patient's attributes, electronic data of a condition of a patient and a medical disorder, and cause a medical device to address the condition and disorder. The framework can be configured to focus in on particular body parts of a patient that have been identified as a body part that enables treatment as well as a part that facilitates the most efficient treatment for a recovery.

DEVICE PROVIDING NEUROTHERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION VIA MULTI-MODAL ENERGY THERAPY
20220401749 · 2022-12-22 ·

The present invention relates generally to a device for providing multi-modal energy therapy to treat neurogenerative disorders, and more particularly to a device providing multi-modal neuro-supportive energy therapy to a person via a daily session in a single facility. The device provides safe, well studied energy therapies in a controlled manner to stimulate neuronal mitochondrial activity which powers the brains neurons and is often defective in neurodegenerative disease states. Selected energy delivery mechanisms and frequencies are employed to stabilize microglial activity and promote microglial homeostasis and neuroprotective secretions, including mitochondrial melatonin and other neuroprotective factors. In addition to practicality, the combination of these proven therapeutic modalities into a single device may offer synergies not found when they are employed alone. This focused combination of these unique energy based therapies may offer new hope to slow, stop, reverse or mitigate neurogenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's diseases.
