  • Patent number: 10217049
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social network perception representation based on communicative acts between a plurality of communicative pairs where each communicative pair includes a first group and an individual or a second group participating in corresponding communicative acts. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors and a score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs.

  • Patent number: 10217050
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts, between a plurality of communicative pairs, to determine a social network perception representation. Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a corresponding one or more of the communicative acts. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The communicative acts include non-verbal communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs.

Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a communicative act. The system includes a patterns database storing behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor determines a first pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors in the communicative acts occurring during a first time frame. The scoring processor determines a different first pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a first time frame and determines a different second social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a second time frame.

  • Patent number: 9830830
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object and monitoring the trainee to determine when the trainee subconsciously identifies the object is provided. The method includes using a processor to select a visceral response-evoking image for evoking the desired trainee response corresponding with the object, attaching a sensor to the trainee for detecting trainee biological responses, and providing instructions to display a stimulus image depicting the object for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee. The method includes providing instructions to display the visceral response-evoking image after the display of the stimulus image and for a duration below conscious awareness of the trainee to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee, and detecting trainee recognition of one of the one or more objects based on the biological response data linked to the desired trainee response.

  • Patent number: 9754502
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a trainee to determine when the trainee subconsciously identifies an object previously associated with a desired trainee response includes attaching at least one biological response sensor to the trainee and receiving biological response data of the trainee from the at least one biological response sensor. The method further includes comparing the biological response data of the trainee to biological responses linked to different ones of a plurality of trainee responses using a processor in communication with the at least one biological response sensor, the plurality of trainee responses including the desired trainee response, and detecting trainee recognition of the object previously associated with the desired trainee response based, in part, on the biological response data being linked to the desired trainee response included with the plurality of trainee responses. The desired trainee response is below the conscious awareness of the trainee.

  • Publication number: 20160321933
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object and monitoring the trainee to determine when the trainee subconsciously identifies the object is provided. The method includes using a processor to select a visceral response-evoking image for evoking the desired trainee response corresponding with the object, attaching a sensor to the trainee for detecting trainee biological responses, and providing instructions to display a stimulus image depicting the object for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee. The method includes providing instructions to display the visceral response-evoking image after the display of the stimulus image and for a duration below conscious awareness of the trainee to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee, and detecting trainee recognition of one of the one or more objects based on the biological response data linked to the desired trainee response.

  • Patent number: 9477823
    Abstract: A method performed by an authentication processor for authenticating an unknown user claiming to be a legitimate user. The method includes comparing a legitimate user response metric to an unknown user response metric and one of preventing access to the computer system and decreasing a level of access to the computer system when the unknown user response metric differs from the legitimate user response metric by more than a predefined degree of acceptable variation. The legitimate user response metric represents observed changes in micro-behaviors of the legitimate user in response to viewing a plurality of prime images. The unknown user response metric represents observed changes in micro-behaviors of the unknown user in response to viewing the plurality of prime images.

  • Patent number: 9390627
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object is provided. The method includes selecting a visceral response-evoking image for evoking a desired trainee response, wherein the desired trainee response is selected to correspond with the object, displaying a stimulus image depicting the object, wherein the instructions to display the stimulus image are to display the stimulus image within view of a trainee for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee, and displaying the visceral response-evoking image within view of the trainee after the display of the stimulus image and to display the visceral response-evoking image for a second duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee in an attempt to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee in a manner characterized by an absence of conscious awareness of the link by the trainee.
