DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR QUANTIFYING NEURO-INFLAMMATION
Disclosed and contemplated herein is a bispectral EEG (BSEEG) method which can detect patients with delirium and can detect delirium with systemic inflammation. In various implementations, a mouse model is used to detect delirium with systemic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection.
Systems and methods for brain wave data acquisition and visualization
Systems and methods for providing a computer-generated visualization of EEG data are disclosed. Raw EEG data generated from a multi-channel EEG headset (or other device) may be received. The EEG data may be run through a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to separate out various frequency components in each channel, isolating the brain wave components for each channel. A visual display may be generated based on the isolated components comprising a first display portion and a second display portion. The first display portion may comprise a geometrical mesh with predefined parameters representing the portions of a crystal. The second display portion may comprise a time-varying color visualization based on the variance of the brain waves. A composite computer display in which the first display portion is overlaid over the second display portion may be generated and provided via a display device.

MINIMAL MATERIAL EAR SENSOR SYSTEM
The technology involves scaffold structures used for in-ear sensor systems. Such systems that can perform biometric signal detection or act as a human-computer interface. Scaffolding arrangements minimize the amount of material placed in the ear while providing a secure fitting device that can be worn for hours, days or longer in order to provide maximal benefit to the wearer. The scaffolding includes a C-shaped arcuate curvature for at least part of the housing. This configuration can act as a natural leaf spring to help maintain the housing in contact with different points along the ear. Sensors are located along various points of the scaffolding for use in different diagnostic situations. Different components of an on-board sensor input and processing system can be distributed along different parts of the scaffolding. Such structures beneficially minimize ambient sound occlusion and avoid the need of an exterior strap or clip worn around the ear.
