Ocular photosensitivity analyzer. In an embodiment, a programmable light source, comprising a plurality of multi-spectra light modules, is configured to emit light according to a lighting condition. For one or a plurality of iterations, the programmable light source is activated to emit the light according to the lighting condition, and collect a response, by a subject, to the emitted light via a sensing system comprising one or more sensors. Between iterations, the programmable light source may be reconfigured based on the response to determine a visual photosensitivity threshold of the subject.

A method and an apparatus for establishing absence of pain in a human or other mammal have been disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing a skin conductance signal measured at an area of the mammal's skin through a time interval; detecting peaks in the skin conductance signal through said time interval; determining a rate of the peaks through the time interval; comparing the determined rate of peaks with a predetermined reference value; and if the measured rate of peaks is lower than the predetermined reference value, providing an output signal as indicating the state of absence of pain in the mammal.

A subject's Default Mode Network is accessed through corresponding measurements of the Micro-Coherence Oximetry Network Strength (MCO-S). An associated MCO-S system (100) includes a wearable (102), a user device (112) and a processing platform (123). The wearable (102) collects subject information sufficient to enable monitoring and optimization of the subject's Default Mode Network include sensors such as pulse oximetry instrumentation and EEG electrodes to obtain brainwave data, oxygen saturation data, heart rate variability data, and galvanic skin conductance data. Information from the sensors may be communicated to a user device (112), such as a cell phone or VR headset. The user device (112) communicates with a remote processing platform (123) that may execute artificial intelligence functionality and other logic in connection with assessing the patient's micro-coherence network strength and optimizing behavior modification protocols in relation to attributes and objectives of the subject.
