System based on multi-sensory learning and EEG biofeedback for improving reading ability
A system and method for improving reading ability simultaneously utilizing a distinctive protocol of multi-sensory learning and EEG biofeedback. The present invention more particularly relates to an EEG biofeedback system comprising a biofeedback apparatus in the form of a head-mountable device including an electrode array for measuring bioelectrical signals generated by a cerebral cortex of a user's brain and a computer device receiving and analyzing data collected by said biofeedback apparatus and providing audiovisual feedback to the user.
Systems, devices, and methods for generating and manipulating objects in a virtual reality or multi-sensory environment to maintain a positive state of a user
Systems, devices, and methods described herein relate to multi-sensory presentation devices, including virtual reality (VR) devices, visual display devices, sound devices, haptic devices, and other forms of presentation devices, that are configured to present sensory elements, including visual and/or audio scenes, to a user. In some embodiments, one or more sensors including electroencephalography (EEG) sensors and a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, e.g., included in a brain-computer interface, can measure physiological data of a user to monitor a state of the user during the presentation of the visual and/or audio scenes. Such systems, devices, and methods can adapt one or more visual and/or audio scenes based on user physiological data, e.g., to control or manage the state of the user.
WEARABLE BRAIN MULTI-STIMULATION PAIN CONTROL DEVICE
A wearable brain multi-stimulation pain control device is provided, comprising a main support unit, an auxiliary support unit, an audio stimulation unit, and an optical frequency-flashed stimulation unit. The main support unit includes two ear portions corresponding to a user’s ears and a front side portion, and the auxiliary support unit includes a mounting portion. Two opposite ends of the mounting portion are pivoted to the main support unit, and the audio stimulation unit includes two speakers that are respectively arranged on the ear portions and can broadcast a binaural beats with frequency following response. The optical frequency-flashed stimulation unit is arranged on the front side portion and can stimulate at least one eye of the user with flickering light, so that the user can obtain multiple stimulations at the same time in a single course of treatment to achieve the effect of improving pain.

The present disclosure describes a method for neuromodulating a subject, comprising providing (i) a cognitively engaging content, and (ii) a gamma oscillation inducing waveform, wherein said gamma oscillation inducing waveform: comprises an intensity that renders said gamma oscillation inducing waveform imperceptible to said subject; and causes a therapeutic improvement in a cognitive function, thereby neuromodulating said subject.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING NEUROLOGIC FUNCTION VIA SENSORY STIMULATION
Systems and methods for evaluating neurologic function of a subject are described. An odorant, auditory and/or somatosensory generator is configured to deliver a sensory stimulation to the subject, a plurality of electrodes are configured to be attached to the subject, and a handheld EEG control unit is configured to control the odorant, auditory and/or somatosensory generator, process the neural signals from the plurality of electrodes and generate an assessment of neurologic function of the subject.
METHOD OF INCREASING COGNITIVE FUNCTION WITH GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR AGONIST
In some embodiments, a method of increasing cognitive function and/or treating a disease or disorder associated with decreased cognitive function in a subject is provided. Treating a subject with an glutamate receptor agonist can include identifying the subject as an glutamate receptor agonist responder. The method can further include obtaining an electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from the subject. The method can further include measuring one or more EEG metrics, thereby identifying the subject as a glutamate receptor agonist. Further provided non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code with instructions for identify glutamate receptor agonist responders
CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
The present technology relates to a control device and a control method capable of performing authentication with higher safety using brain information.
Provided is a control device including a processing unit configured to perform control of a first authentication process of authenticating a user on the basis of first registration information based on first brain information of the user measured in response to a replay of a first induction medium, and control of a registration process of a second registration information used for a second authentication process of authenticating the user on the basis of second brain information of the user measured in response to a replay of a second induction medium different from the first induction medium. For example, the present technology can be applied to a measurement device capable of measuring brain information.
Methods and systems for auditory nerve signal conversion
A processing device is interfaced with an auditory region of the brain of a subject that is responsible for auditory perception. The processing device receives signals associated with nerve impulses that are transmitted to the auditory region of the brain of the subject in response to sound collected by an ear of the subject. The processing device processes the received signals and generates at least one audio signal that is representative of the auditory perception, by the subject, of the sound collected by the ear. In certain embodiments, the processing device processes at least one audio signal that is representative of at least one sound to convert the at least one audio signal to a sequence of nerve impulses, and selectively provides the sequence of nerve impulses to the auditory region of the brain of the subject such that the subject audially perceives the at least one sound.
SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC EVALUATION OF COGNITION AND CONSCIOUSNESS OF AN INDIVIDUAL THROUGH EXTERNAL STIMULATIONS
A system for automatic evaluation of cognition and consciousness of a subject, the system including a micro-controller, a digital-to-analog converter and at least one sensory stimulation element, wherein the system is configured to receive as input an information concerning a stimulation paradigm and to generate as output a sensory stimulation according to the stimulation paradigm and transmit at least one synchronization signal determined by the stimulation paradigm to a device for the acquisition of a physiological signal so as to synchronize the system for stimulation with the device for the acquisition of a physiological signal during an acquisition.
