Avatars, computer program products, devices and systems are described that relate to at least one cohort-linked avatar comprising at least one avatar attribute that is at least partly based on an association of at least one physiologic activity of at least one member of a population cohort with at least one mental state.

Provided are methods of enhancing the performance of a subject on a cognitive task by improved self-regulation of internal distraction. The methods include presenting a computer-based cognitive training program to a subject, where performance of the subject on the cognitive task is enhanced by the cognitive training program. Computer readable media and devices useful for practicing the methods of the present disclosure are also provided.

A method for detection of an evoked response signal in noise including: generating a plurality of stimuli; receiving a noisy signal related to an evoked response to the plurality of stimuli; divide the noisy signal into a plurality of responses to the plurality of stimuli; estimate a statistic matrix for the plurality of responses; shrink the statistic matrix; calculate weights based on an inverse of the shrunk statistic matrix; apply weights to the plurality of responses to construct a final response; and output the final response. An apparatus having an input device configured to receive data related to a plurality of stimuli; and a processor configured to: receive a noisy signal and divide the noisy signal into a plurality of responses; estimate a statistic matrix; shrink the statistic matrix; calculate weights based on an inverse of the shrunk statistic matrix; and apply weights to the plurality of responses to construct a final response.

The system of the present invention includes at least one brain signal capturing device, at least one memory device for storing software instructions, and at least one processor. The processor is in communication with the brain signal capturing device and executes the instructions stored on the memory. The instructions include the steps of analyzing a user's brain signal patterns and searching based on the user's brain signals.

A biological information measurement system includes: a time measurement apparatus configured to transmit time information; a first measurement apparatus configured to measure brain neural activity of a subject, based on a biological signal detected from the subject; a first recording apparatus configured to record first data indicating a temporal change in the brain neural activity measured by the first measurement apparatus, in association with the time information received from the time measurement apparatus; an image capturing apparatus configured to capture an image of the subject; and a second recording apparatus configured to record second data indicating a temporal change in a posture of the subject, the posture identified based on the image captured by the image capturing apparatus, in association with the time information received from the time measurement apparatus.

In an aspect of the invention, a method of identifying sensory inputs affecting working memory load of an individual is provided. The method comprises monitoring (S101) working memory load of the individual using a sensor device, detecting (S102) an increase in the working memory load of the individual, and identifying (S103), in response to the detected increase, at least one sensory input affecting the working memory load of the individual.

This disclosure discloses a control method of iGallery, a control system of iGallery, and a computer readable storage medium. The control method includes determining identity information of a viewer in front of the iGallery, based on a preset target emotion state and the identity information, invoking a pre-stored control instruction corresponding to the identity information in the target emotion state, and controlling the iGallery to correspondingly adjust its display in accordance with the invoked control instruction.

The present invention relates to a system and method for assessing and training the quality of attentional awareness and control of an individual. The individual's attention is monitored using a neurophysiological system such as EEG while using a computer system and display that provides signals that allow the correlation of behavioral measures of attention with neurophysiological measures. The combination of those signals is a novel, accurate and reliable system for assessing any individual's true attention capabilities.
