  • Publication number: 20200261012
    Abstract: A method and system for monitoring therapeutic interventions for treating a patient with PTSD comprises using a scanner to obtain pre-treatment neural spectroscopic data of at least one neuromarker chemical in the brain of the patient before treatment, treating the patient with at least one treatment protocol, after treatment, obtaining post-treatment neural spectroscopic data of the at least one neuromarker chemical in the brain of the patient, and comparing the results of the pre-treatment and post-treatment data to enable a determination of the effectiveness of the treatment.

  • Patent number: 10605662
    Abstract: A device, and corresponding method, can include a pump light source configured to irradiate a target specimen. The device can also include a sensor configured to observe a probe speckle pattern based on light from a probe light source reflected from the target specimen. The device further may include a correlator configured to determine a material property of the target specimen by analyzing changes in images of the probe speckle pattern as a function of the irradiation with the pump light source. Advantages of the device and method can include much higher sensitivity than existing methods; the ability to use visible probe wavelengths for uncooled, low-cost visible detectors with high spatial resolution; and the ability to obtain target material properties without detecting infrared light.

  • Patent number: 10228284
    Abstract: A device, and corresponding method, can include a pump light source configured to be modulated at a pump modulation and to irradiate a target specimen. The device can also include a probe light source arranged to generate a speckle pattern from the target specimen, as well as a sensor configured to detect changes in at least one of position and intensity of one or more speckle lobes of the speckle pattern having correlation with the pump modulation. The device and method can be used for non-contact monitoring and remote sensing of surfaces, gases, liquids, particles, and other target materials by analyzing speckle pattern changes as a function of pump light irradiation. Advantages can include much higher sensitivity than existing methods; the ability to use visible probe wavelengths for uncooled, low-cost visible detectors with high spatial resolution; and the ability to obtain target material properties without detecting infrared light.
