Non-invasive systems and methods for detecting mental impairment
A mental impairment detection system and non-invasive method of detecting mental impairment of a user are provided. A test (e.g., an inhibitory reflex test or a sustained attention test) is administered to the user, brain activity in a frontal lobe of the user is non-invasively detected while the test is administered to the user, and a level of mental impairment of the user is determined based on the brain activity detected in the frontal lobe of the user.
LEAD INTEGRITY AND CLOSED-LOOP ALGORITHM DIAGNOSTIC
In one example, the disclosure describes a method comprising receiving, by processing circuitry, information indicative of one or more evoked compound action potential (ECAP) signals. The one or more ECAP signals are sensed by at least one electrode carried by a medical lead. The processing circuitry determining that at least one characteristic value of the one or more ECAP signals is outside of an expected range. Responsive to determining that the at least one characteristic value of the one or more ECAP signals is outside of the expected range, the processing circuitry performs a lead integrity test for the medical lead.
Wearable Extended Reality-Based Neuroscience Analysis Systems
An illustrative system may include an extended reality system and a brain interface system configured to be concurrently worn by a user. The extended reality system may be configured to provide the user with an extended reality experience (e.g., an immersive virtual reality experience or a non-immersive augmented reality experience). The brain interface system may be configured to acquire one or more brain activity measurements while the extended reality experience is being provided to the user.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NEUROMODULATION
A method and system for neuromodulation therapy is described. One or more psychophysiological parameters based on an electrical signal of a user's brain activity are determined and used to generate a neuromodulation marker using a neuromodulation recipe. The neuromodulation marker may be determined using statistical estimates of the psychophysiological parameters in relation to a reference distribution. Feedback is then provided to the user based on the neuromodulation marker. Weighting parameters may be used to vary the neuromodulation recipe and personalize the neuromodulation therapy in response to performance or user input.

Non-invasive system and method for product formulation assessment based on product-elicited brain state measurements
A non-invasive product customization system and a method of customizing a product formulation is provided. Brain activity of a user is detected in response to an input of a product formulation into a brain of the user via a sensory nervous system of the user. A mental state of the user is detected based on the detected brain activity. The product formulation is modified based on the determined mental state of the user. The modified product formulation may be presented to the user in a manner that modulates the mental state of the user.
Systems and methods for detecting corrupt or inaccurate sensory representations
A system for monitoring neural activity of a living subject is provided. The system may comprise a correspondence module configured to be in communication with (1) a neural module and (2) one or more additional modules comprising a sensing module, another neural module, and/or a data storage module. The neural module(s) are configured to collect neural data indicative of perceptions experienced by the living subject. The sensing module may be configured to collect (1) sensor data indicative of real-world information about an environment around the living subject, and/or (2) sensor data indicative of a physical state or physiological state of the living subject. The data storage module may be configured to store prior neural data and/or prior sensor data. The correspondence module may be configured to measure a correspondence (a) between the neural data collected by the neural module(s) and the sensor data collected by the sensing module, (b) between the neural data collected by two or more neural modules, and/or (c) between the neural data collected by the neural module(s) and the prior data stored in data storage module. The measured correspondence can be used to determine a presence, absence, or extent of a potential cognitive or physiological disturbance of the living subject.
