An improved system for assessing cognitive function is described that uses tracked electrical activity of the brain of the individuals in response to a specific sequence of stimuli in generating data sets, which, for example, can be encapsulated as a data structure. The data sets can include tracked specific response types, at different times and amplitudes, including, but not limited to, event related potential signal components. Brainwave features including, event related potentials, are tracked in relation to both pre-attentive brain responses and consciously controlled attention responses.

Provided herein are systems, devices and methods for monitoring the progression of, determining and/or assessing brain related conditions in a subject based on pupil light responses (PLRs) to focal central and peripheral chromatic light stimuli, in particular, by classifying the PLR based on one or more PLR parameter values, wherein the classifying allows monitoring the progression of, determining and/or assessing the brain related condition

A sleepiness estimating device including an auxiliary information acquirer that acquires auxiliary information including at least one of five-sense information perceived by a person or emotion information indicating an emotion of the person; and a sleepiness estimator that estimates a sleepiness of the person based on the auxiliary information.

Currently there is no apparatus or method to exercise mental agility by the simultaneous and/or independent control from the hands, feet, and eyes.

As depicted in FIGS. 1-7, the eye detects that the foot is slower than the hand and the information is sent immediately from the eye to the brain. Subsequently, the brain will instantaneously instruct the foot to speed up and stay on track in the template. The method can be repeated to ensure that the cursors have reached the target at the same time. Repetition enhances the coordination and reflection of the user.

Disclosed is a method of identifying dementia using at least one processor of a device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. More particularly, the method may include performing a first task of causing for a user terminal to display a first screen including a sentence; performing a second task of causing for the user terminal to acquire an image including user’s eyes in association with displaying a moving object instead of the first screen; and performing a third task of causing for the user terminal to acquire a recording file in association with displaying a second screen in which the sentence is hidden, wherein the first task includes a sub-task of causing color of at least one word constituting the sentence included in the first screen to be sequentially changed.

A method and system is provided for determining a discrimination index in a subject that may be suffering from or at risk for a stress-induced psychiatric disorder. The discrimination index may be equal to a ratio of a subject's cued fear response and non-cued fear response measured during a fear-potentiated startle (FPS) paradigm. Such a value may allow a physician or researcher to quantify how well a subject discriminates between signaled (cued) fear and un-signaled (non-cued) fear, which may be a biomarker for psychiatric disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and/or generalized anxiety disorder. The determined discrimination index may provide a standardized way of diagnosing and evaluating mental illnesses, more uniform treatment of patients, and/or more precise monitoring and evaluation of treatment efficacy.

A portable wireless neuromonitoring device can be used to diagnose and/or treat conditions of the brain and vision system. The device includes a sensor unit mountable on the head of a human subject and capable of recording signals from the brain in EEG and/or EFEG (electric field encephalography) mode, and the device can be used for simultaneous stimulus display and recording with latency of less than 1 millisecond. The device also includes electrodes that allow rapid set-up and measurement with low impedance contact with the scalp. The device can also be used in conjunction with virtual reality or alternate reality environments.

The driving support apparatus includes a memory configured to store information representing a degree of familiarity with an environment for a driver of a vehicle; and a processor configured to detect an object existing around the vehicle based on a sensor signal representing a situation around the vehicle obtained by a sensor mounted on the vehicle, determine whether or not the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle, and notify the driver of the approach via a notification device mounted on the vehicle at a timing corresponding to the degree of familiarity with the environment for the driver of the vehicle, when it is determined that the object approaches the vehicle so that the object may collide with the vehicle.

A device and system for promoting more recuperative sleep by regulating a user's body temperature. This may be done by using a series of devices that measure information about the user both while they are awake and while they are asleep, communicate that information to a processing unit, and create an ideal body temperature range profile based on that information. A temperature stimulus device may ensure that the core body temperature of the user stays substantially within the ideal body temperature range. By keeping the core body temperature of the user within the calculated range, the device and system will ensure deeper, and therefore more recuperative, sleep.

An apparatus for modifying alarms at a medical device for alarm fatigue management is provided and includes an alarm monitor, an alarm filter, an alarm modifier, a memory element for storing data, and a processor that executes instructions associated with the data, wherein the processor and the memory element cooperate such that the apparatus is configured for receiving an alarm condition from an alarm management engine, the alarm condition based on an alarm fatigue level of a user of the medical device, the alarm fatigue level based on at least a user fatigue model, a medical device model and a patient condition, receiving an alarm from the medical device, modifying the alarm according to the alarm condition, the alarm condition being configured to increase a likelihood of the user responding to the modified alarm, and generating an alarm indicator based on the modification.
