Patent number: 8478394Abstract: A device and method for assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is described. The device is configured to acquire brain electrical signals from a patient's forehead using one or more neurological electrodes. The acquired brain electrical activity data is subjected to artifact rejection and feature extraction, and a subset of features are then combined in at least one classifier function. The classifier functions statistically place a patient in one of four categories related to the extent of brain dysfunction: 1) normal brain electrical activity; 2) abnormal brain electrical activity consistent with non-structural injury with less severe manifestations of functional brain injury; 3) abnormal brain electrical activity consistent with non-structural injury with more severe manifestations of functional brain injury; and 4) abnormal brain electrical activity consistent with structural brain injury.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignees: Brainscope Company, Inc., New York UniversityInventors: Leslie S. Prichep, Neil S. Rothman, Douglas C. Oberly, Michael E. Singer

Patent number: 8473024Abstract: A headset for detecting brain electrical activity is disclosed. The headset may have a flexible band having a first end and a second end. The flexible band may have at least one expansible region permitting a distance between the first end and the second end to selectably vary. The headset may also have flexible circuitry in the flexible band. The flexible circuitry may be operatively connected to at least one sensor configured to sense brain electrical activity. The headset may further have a stimulus emitter coupled to the flexible band.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Brainscope Company, Inc.Inventors: Elvir Causevic, Richard Comrie Watt, Craig Anderson, Martin Rathgeber

Patent number: 8041136Abstract: A system and method of signal processing using linear or non-linear signal transformation and fractal dimension based analysis. Using a transform process (i.e. wavelet transform, Fourier transform, ICA transform, etc.), a signal is decomposed into a series of coefficients or components. Within this transform domain, fractal dimensions of the components are computed. The components with fractal dimensions higher than a pre-determined threshold are then selectively processed. A modified signal is reconstructed using inverse transform of the signal components.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: October 18, 2011Assignee: Brainscope Company, Inc.Inventor: Elvir Causevic
