Patents by Inventor William F. Stubbeman

William F. Stubbeman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20190201707
    Abstract: A therapeutic or diagnostic system comprises a non-invasive brain stimulation device (such as a TMS stimulation device) or other neuromodulation device configured to stimulate a patient's brain or nervous system by emitting electromagnetic pulses according to stimulation parameters, such as a pulse frequency or burst repetition frequency or other parameters, that provides surprising improvements in responsiveness and/or may require only a relatively short train of pulses to achieve high efficacy. In particular, stimulation pulses may be delivered at a frequency of between 12 and 40 Hertz with a 3 to 5 ratio as compared with burst repetition frequency, or at other specific patterns within that range. The stimulation parameters may be pre-stored and customized to individual patients, being identified through an automated search routine during which patient feedback is monitored. A user interface may be provided to allow an operator to conveniently select the appropriate parameters for the desired treatment.

  • Publication number: 20140058189
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for electromagnetically stimulating a brain and pairing temporally associated sensory stimulation to treat a neurologic or psychiatric disorder or to enhance cognitive, motor, social, or psychological skills. In addition, a non-invasive brain stimulation device is configured to stimulate a patient's brain by emitting an electromagnetic field based on certain stimulation parameters that may be dynamically adjusted based on measurements regarding brain activity. An additional exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter is a method of neuroplastic augmentation using brain stimulation designed to augment, hasten, enhance, optimize, or improve a secondary neurologic or psychiatric treatment for a brain illness.
