Probe insertion device for implanting a probe into tissue
A probe insertion device for implanting a probe into tissue includes a rigid base that selectively attaches to the probe due to a bond between the base and the probe, that provides a structural backbone to the probe, is longitudinally aligned with the probe, and can be adapted to receive a fluid between the base and the probe. The probe insertion device can include a surface covering at least a portion of the base that reduces the bond between the base and the probe in the presence of the fluid.
Mobile wearable electromagnetic brain activity monitor
This invention is a mobile wearable electromagnetic brain activity monitor comprising a frame worn on a person's head, electromagnetic energy sensors which collect data concerning the person's electromagnetic brain activity, and a control unit. The electromagnetic energy sensors can be electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes. In an example, the frame can be circular. In an example, the frame can loop around the person's head from one ear to the other ear. In an example, the frame can be an eyewear frame which also includes light-transmitting optical members.
AN IMPLANTABLE ELECTRODE DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THEREOF
An implantable electrode device includes a carrier made of a polymer material, at least one measurement electrode formed by an electrically conducting pad located on the carrier, wherein the electrically conducting pad has a contact surface, a barrier layer enclosing the carrier by covering all surfaces of the carrier, wherein the contact surface of the electrically conducting pad is exposed to an outside environment, at least one electrically conducting trace, and at least one electrically conducting terminal. The electrically conducting trace can electrically connect the measurement electrode to the electrically conducting terminal. A surface of the implantable electrode device on a side on which the measurement electrode is located can have a maximum valley depth or a maximum peak height between the contact surface of the measurement electrode and a meanline of a surface of the implantable electrode device, excluding measurement electrodes, being equal to or smaller than 100 micrometres.
Brain Matching
This invention, which focuses on personality and aptitude matching by psychophysiologic response to stimuli, is referred to as Brain Matching. In general terms, this invention starts by selecting highly specialized skill sets and top performer group for each skill set. The various groups are analyzed though psychophysiologic stimuli testing by using basically the same testing consisting of large numbers stimuli tests in a consistent testing environment. Stimuli tests can range from hundreds to thousands of images each producing a brainwave response. Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning computers look at the test results, highly specialized group by other highly specialized group to reduce the groups signature/response commonality into a template. Test subjects are then tested using the same stimuli. The subject's test results are analyzed for correlation with the various specialized expert groups.
Two part EEG monitor with databus and method of communicating between the parts
A personal wearable EEG monitor comprises a base part (1) having signal processing means (23), and an electrode part (2) with at least two electrodes (11, 12) for measuring an EEG signal of a person. The electrode part (2) comprises means for converting the EEG signal into a digital signal. The EEG monitor comprises a databus for transferring data between the base part (1) and the electrode part (2) and for providing power from one part to the other. The databus is adapted for application of two electrical wires. The invention further provides a method for communicating between two parts of an EEG monitor.
