METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NEUROENHANCEMENT TO ENHANCE EMOTIONAL RESPONSE
A method of transplanting a desired emotional state from a donor to a recipient, comprising determining an emotional state of the donor, recording neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor who is in the desired emotional state; analyzing neural correlates of the emotional state of the donor to decode at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state; converting said at least one of a temporal and a spatial pattern corresponding to the desirable emotional state into a neurostimulation pattern; storing the neurostimulation pattern in the nonvolatile memory; retrieving the neurostimulation pattern from the nonvolatile memory; stimulating the recipient's brain with at least one stimulus modulated with the neurostimulation pattern to induce the desired emotional state in the recipient.
METHOD OF PRODUCING A BIO-ACCURATE FEEDBACK SIGNAL
Methods providing biofeedback generally comprising: detecting a brainwave segment present in the brainwaves; reproduction of the segment at a higher octave and rendering said higher frequency as a feedback signal to the person. The feedback signal can be rendered at a higher frequency by any number of octaves, and/or musical harmonies thereof. Feedback frequency and amplitude correspond to shifting frequency and amplitude in the underlying brain/heart activity. Feedback signal is preferably rendered within 100 msec from brainwave detection, and can be administered as treatment using any bandwidth within the electromagnetic spectrum including sub-audio, audio, ultrasonic, light, etc. The feedback signal can be delivered to the same or opposite side of the person relative to the hemisphere generating the signal. Said feedback signal can help balance brainwave activity, forge new neuro-circuits, increase interhemispheric communication, creativity and brain-efficiency thereby improving a full spectrum of nervous system activity from hyperarousal to deep sleep.

Magnetic Stimulation With Variable Pulsed Intervals
A method of modulating a brain activity of a mammal is achieved by subjecting the mammal to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with an rTMS apparatus at variable pulse intervals for a time sufficient to modulate said brain activity. Improvement in a physiological condition or a clinical condition is achieved. Conditions to be treated include but are not limited to PTSD, autism spectrum disorder and Alzheimer's disease. Wavelet transform analysis is used to determine the variable pulse intervals employed.

Method for predicting pain sensitivity
Provided herein are methods to predict pain sensitivity and pain intensity to prolonged pain in a subject. Electroencephalograms are recorded in a pain-free state or, alternatively, in a pain-free state and after applying a prolonged pain stimulus in a prolonged pain state. Pain-free and prolonged pain peak alpha frequencies or ΔPAF are measured. These values correlate negatively with the likelihood of increased pain sensitivity and increased pain intensity. Also provided is a method for predicting a likelihood of chronic pain in a subject after a medical procedure and designing a plan to treat the chronic pain.
