NON-INVASIVE TRANSCRANIAL NEURAL ACTIVITY RECORDING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A system comprises a support structure configured for placement on or about a subject's head and an electronic recording apparatus comprising an array of magnetic sensors mounted to the support structure. The array of magnetic sensors is configured for transcranial sensing of local magnetic fields emanating from a specified region of a subject's brain. The sensed local magnetic fields correspond to patterns of stimulation of the specified region of a subject's brain caused by stimulating one or more of a sensing organ or sensing organs, a vestibular system, and a memory of the subject. An electronic memory is configured to record neurostimulation data representative of the patterns of stimulation of the specified region of the subject's brain.
NON-INVASIVE TRANSCRANIAL STIMULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING PRE-RECORDED NEUROSTIMULATION DATA
An electronic memory is configured to store pre-recorded neurostimulation data comprising patterns of stimulation of a specified region of a subject's brain developed to recreate a response by one or more of a sensing organ or sensing organs, a vestibular system, and a memory of the subject. A focused ultrasound transducer arrangement is operably coupled to the electronic memory and comprises an array of ultrasound transducers. The focused ultrasound transducer arrangement is configured to deliver transcranial stimulation to the specified region of a person's brain using the pre-recorded neurostimulation data to recreate the response by one or more of the sensing organ or sensing organs, the vestibular system, and the memory of the subject. A support structure is configured for placement on or about a person's head. The support structure is configured to support at least the focused ultrasound transducer arrangement.
