  • Publication number: 20240090817
    Abstract: A device and a signal processing method that can monitor human memory performance by recognizing and characterizing high-gamma (65-250 Hz) and beta (14-30 Hz) band oscillations in the left Brodmann Area 40 (BA40) of the brain that correspond with the strength of memory encoding or correct recall. The signal processing method detects high-gamma and beta band oscillations in the electrical signals recorded from left BA40, and quantifies the spectral content, power, duration, onset, and offset of the oscillations. The oscillation's properties are used to classify the subject's memory performance on the basis of a comparison with the subject's prior human memory performance and the properties of the corresponding oscillations. A report of the subject's current memory performance can be utilized in a closed loop brain stimulation device that serves the purpose of enhancing human memory performance.

  • Publication number: 20150099962
    Abstract: Method and device for the automatic identification of phase-locked high-frequency oscillations (PLHFO) to localize epileptogenic brain for neurosurgical intervention, including filtering brain signals into low frequency and high frequency oscillation (HFO) data streams. Applying ICA to the HFO data stream, transforming the data streams to produce an HFO instantaneous amplitude (HFOIA) and a low-frequency instantaneous phase (LFIP) data stream. Transforming the normalized HFOIA to produce an instantaneous phase of the normalized HFOIA. Determining a continuous or discrete PLHFO calculation that measures cross frequency coupling between the instantaneous phase of the low frequency data stream, and the instantaneous amplitude of the HFO data stream based at least in part on LFIP, raw or normalized HFOIA, and may include the instantaneous phase of normalized or raw HFOIA.
