A method for selecting an AI solution for an automated robotic process including receiving at least one functional media including information indicative of brain activity by a human engaged in a task of interest, analyzing the functional media, identifying an activity level in at least one brain region, identifying a brain region parameter and an activity parameter; identifying an action parameter based in part on the brain region parameter or the activity parameter; and selecting a component of the AI solution in part on the brain region parameter, the activity parameter, or the action parameter.

An apparatus comprising: at least one electrode, having a first potential, arranged to sense a biosignal; a conductive shield provided over the at least one electrode where the conductive shield is configured to be driven to a second potential wherein the second potential is equivalent to the first potential plus a multiple of an inverted common mode voltage; and wherein the conductive shield is coupled to a drain to enable triboelectric charges to be dissipated.

A rider state modification system for improving a state of a rider in a vehicle includes a first neural network that operates to classify a state of the vehicle through analysis of information about the vehicle captured by an Internet-of-things device during operation of the vehicle. The rider state modification system further includes a second neural network that operates to optimize at least one operating parameter of the vehicle based on the classified state of the vehicle, information about a state of a rider occupying the vehicle, and information that correlates vehicle operation with an effect on rider state.

An apparatus for energy expenditure estimation includes a heart rate sensor for producing a heart rate value indicative of a heart rate of an individual, a heat-flux sensor for producing a heat-flux value indicative of a heat-flux flowing through a measurement area on the skin of the individual, and a processing system communicatively connected to the heart rate sensor and the heat-flux sensor. The processing system is configured to produce an estimate of the energy expenditure based on the heart rate value and the heat-flux value. The use of the heat-flux value improves the accuracy of the estimation especially during low-intensity exercise and rest, when both heart rate and acceleration values often fail to provide information meaningful enough for energy expenditure estimation.

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body with a processor, a camera and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.
