FULL-DUPLEX EPG SYSTEM AND ELECTRO-OPTICAL PERCUTANEOUS LEAD
The invention provides an EPG system and lead configuration which boasts both a novel optical folding assembly and compact package size. The percutaneous leads provided offer additional advantages over the prior art including integral formation of optical and electrical components in a compact size.
Inducement, verification and optimization of neural entrainment through biofeedback, data analysis and combinations of adaptable stimulus delivery
Methods, systems and apparatus for inducing and verifying the level of neural entrainment at any target frequency, through a combination of biofeedback mechanisms, data analysis, and modulation of synergistic combinations of adaptable stimuli.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DECREASING EFFECTS OF LACK OF MUSCLE USE
During a period of lack of use, a person risks muscle atrophy and/or otherwise losing muscle strength/functionality. During such a period of lack of user, a photoceutical can be applied to the person’s muscle(s) through a photoceutical medical device to decrease the occurrence of these risks. The photoceutical is specially configured to reduce these risks and includes at least one of a pulsed light signal, a continuous light signal, and a super-pulsed light signal.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PHOTOBIOMODULATION
Systems and methods are described for treatment of neurological conditions in which transcranial illumination using infrared, near-infrared and/or red wavelengths of light are delivered into the brain of a patient using a portable head wearable device. Systems and methods are also described to deliver light to patient tissues for photobiomodulation, particularly through the patient's mouth.
Devices and systems for treating pain based on light therapy
Devices and systems for treating based on light therapy are disclosed. One example device includes an eyewear configured for placement in front of an eye to allow light to reach the eye, and one or more filters having transmission spectra within a range that approximately spans 450 to 570 nm associated with blue or green light. The one or more filters is configured to block light spectra outside of said range and to allow the blue or green light to reach the eye for administering light therapy to a subject exhibiting pain.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE IN TREATING SENSORY IMPAIRMENT
Methods and systems for use in treating one or more patient’s sensory impairment, e.g., associated with peripheral neuropathy. An exemplary system may be configured to generate treatment information for treating sensory impairment in at least one body portion using photonic energy from a therapeutic laser based on data indicative of damage.
LIGHT THERAPY SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE
In certain embodiments a light therapy system (e.g., phototherapy device), such as for treatment of Alzheimer's disease, depression, dementia, short-term memory, or for improved learning, improved athletic performance or improved cognitive performance, is provided where the light system comprises a blue light source that operates at a frequency in the range from 20 to 50 Hz (preferably around 40 Hz), whereby the system enables retinal ganglion cells of a human to be exposed in order to stimulate brain waves (gamma oscillations in the human's brain).
PREDICTING SUCCESSFUL GENERATION AND INHIBITION OF SEIZURE-LIKE AFTERDISCHARGES AND MAPPING THEIR SEIZURE NETWORKS USING FMRI
Success in generating or curtailing seizures is related to their onset time, with inhibition proving less effective on earlier-onset afterdischarges. To identify targets for intervention, fMRI or simultaneous fMRI-LFP is used to map the seizure network of afterdischarges initiated from the dorsal and ventral hippocampus.
Light control devices and methods for regional variation of visual information and sampling
Exemplary light control devices and methods provide a regional variation of visual information and sampling (“V-VIS”) of an ocular field of view that improves or stabilizes vision, ameliorates a visual symptom, reduces the rate of vision loss, or reduces the progression of an ophthalmic or neurologic condition, disease, injury or disorder. The V-VIS devices and methods generate a moving aperture effect anterior to a retina that samples and delivers to the retina environmental light from an ocular field of view at a sampling rate between 50 hertz and 50 kilohertz. Certain of these V-VIS devices and methods may be combined with augmented or virtual reality, vision measurement, vision monitoring, or other therapies including, but not limited to, pharmacological, gene, retinal replacement and stem cell therapies.
CORTICAL NETWORK STRUCTURE MEDIATES RESPONSE TO BRAIN STIMULATION
Cortical network structure that mediates response to brain stimulation, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for brain stimulation includes: delivering an input stimulus to an area of the brain, via a cortical implant; in response to delivering the input stimulus, generating neural signals in the brain; and generating a predicted outcome of the input stimulus. The predicted outcome is based on a set of data derived from a model that combines: protocol features that are brain agnostic, and network features that are based on interactions between neural nodes of the brain.
