10799667 · 2020-10-13 · ·

Visual and auditory stimuli are provided to a patient to treat various neurological disorders or conditions and/or to provide improved mental or physical performance. The visual and auditory stimuli are provided by a wearable headset or sleep mask that may be comfortably worn by a user, such as in bed to induce sleep. The wearable headset or sleep mask includes, or works in cooperation with, sensors that determine the state of the user and modify the operation of the headset for treating various disorders or contentions.

Circadian Rhythm Adjustment System
20200289321 · 2020-09-17 · ·

A system is disclosed in which an application runs may on a mobile device (or other computing device), which presents an interface to a user for entering information related to circadian rhythm. Based on the circadian information received a circadian clock adjustment model is computed, which is used for determining the lighting pattern presented to a user for treating circadian rhythm disorder or adjusting a user's circadian rhythm. The lighting pattern may be produced in the form of light flashes via lights that may be mounted in a sleep mask, glasses frame, other wearable device, mobile device, display, or lighting system of a room. Information related to the circadian rhythm may be detected (e.g., via sensors) and update the circadian rhythm model based in the information detected.

The present invention relates to methods and devices to consolidate memory and/or cognitive functions by monitoring brain rhythms and delivering a stimulus at an appropriate stage of sleep cycle.

EAR-WORN ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CONDUCTING AND MONITORING MENTAL EXERCISES

An ear-worn electronic device includes a right ear device comprising a first processor and a left ear device comprising a second processor communicatively coupled to the first processor. A physiologic sensor module comprises one or more physiologic sensors configured to sense at least one physiologic parameter from a wearer. A motion sensor module comprises one or more sensors configured to sense movement of the wearer. The first and second processors are coupled to the physiologic and motion sensor modules. The first and second processors are configured to produce a three-dimensional virtual sound environment comprising relaxing sounds, generate verbal instructions within the three-dimensional virtual sound environment that guide the wearer through a predetermined mental exercise that promotes wearer relaxation, and generate verbal commentary that assesses wearer compliance with the predetermined mental exercise in response to one or both of the sensed movement and the at least one physiologic parameter.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING REM SLEEP WITH SENSORY STIMULATION

The present disclosure pertains to a system and method for automatically detecting rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and delivering sensory stimulation to prolong REM duration, without disturbing sleep. The sensory stimulation may be auditory or other stimulation. The system and method ensure timely delivery of the stimulation and automatically adjust the amount, intensity, and/or timing of stimulation as necessary. REM sleep is detected based brain activity, cardiac activity and/or other information. REM sleep may be detected and/or predicted by a trained neural network. The amount, timing, and/or intensity of the sensory stimulation may be determined and/or modulated to enhance REM sleep in a subject based on one or more values of one or more intermediate layers of the neural network and one or more brain activity and/or cardiac activity parameters.
