Provided are a method, a device, a system, and a program for evaluating similarity of brain activity with respect to an object to be evaluated, using data obtained by a simple measurement of brain waves. Brain wave data related to cognitive processing with respect to a plurality of sensory stimuli are dimensionally compressed, and a distribution of the object to be evaluated is displayed on a two-dimensional plane or three-dimensionally. In this way, similarity of brain information with respect to the plurality of sensory stimuli is evaluated, and the similarity is visualized. The brain wave data related to the cognitive processing include brain wave data upon selection of a stimulus as a target, and brain wave data caused by a non-target stimulus event.

If the frames of a pair of eyeglasses have a built-in sensor, replacement of the sensor may result in increased effort, cost, and the like. Accordingly, the object is to provide a control device enabling a user to replace the sensor easily. A control device, including: a connecting unit that includes a sensor; and a main unit including a first control unit that conducts processes regarding information obtained from the sensor. The connecting unit is removably connected to each of the main unit and an object mounted on a head of a human body.

An electrode sensor is provided. The electrode sensor can include a conductive sensor area that is at least partially covered by hydrogel. The hydrogel can be conductive and adhere to skin. A receptacle can form an open container surrounding the conductive sensor area and the hydrogel.

A device for examining a pathological interaction between different brain areas, including a stimulation unit, which administers identical stimuli to a patient in a sequential manner, wherein the stimuli stimulate neurons of the patient in the brain areas to be examined, a measuring unit for recording measurement signals that represent a neural activity of the stimulated neurons, and a control and analysis unit for controlling the stimulation unit and for analyzing the measurement signals. The control and analysis unit transforms the measurement signals into the complex plane, examines the distribution of the phases of stimuli of the measurement signals absorbed by the measuring unit in response to the stimuli delivered to the patient, and determines the probability, with which the phase distribution differs from a uniform distribution, in order to ascertain whether a pathological interaction between the brain areas exists.

The present invention relates to SMART headphones. More particularly, the present invention relates to SMART audio headphones system adapted to modulate personal playlists that adapt to a users preferences, particularly to their state of mind and/or emotions.

Disclosed is an audio-headset for acquisition of a bio-signal from a subject, including a first earpiece; a second earpiece; an arch connecting the first earpiece and the second earpiece; the arch including a hub (4); wherein the arch, the first earpiece and the second earpiece are configured so that the earpieces are placed over a subject's ears when the audio headset is worn by the subject; and at least one posterior branch (1) having a first end extending from the hub and a second free end; the at least one posterior branch (1) including a concave surface with a radius of curvature, a collapsed state when the headset is not worn by the subject and an expanded state when the headset is worn by the subject.

The present invention discloses a carbon dioxide inhalation treatment device for central sleep apnea comprising a blower, a gas cylinder filled with carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2), an airbag, a mask, and a detection mechanism for detecting the central apnea by measuring the electromyographic activity of the chest wall muscles. The mask is provided with multiple holes providing a communication between the inside and outside of the mask in order to prevent any sense of resistance of breathing and to provide greater control of inspired CO.sub.2. Inspired CO.sub.2 from a gas mixture containing also a minimum 20% O.sub.2 is driven by air using a blower into a mixing chamber. This carbon dioxide inhalation treatment device for central sleep apnea can provide a stable, mild level of carbon dioxide for patients with central sleep apnea, thus by preserving respiratory drive correcting central sleep apnea without increasing the arousal and microarousal frequency.
