  • Patent number: 11553870
    Abstract: One variation of a method for modeling neurological development includes: aggregating electroencephalography (EEG) data that comprise multiple EEG signals of each user in a set of users, EEG signals of each user recorded on multiple distinct dates, the set of users comprising a plurality of users of various known neurological statuses; identifying a synchronization pattern trend within the EEG data of the set of users; and correlating the synchronization pattern trend with neurological development within the set of users.

  • Patent number: 10799140
    Abstract: A method and system for instructing a user behavior change comprising: collecting a first and a second bioelectrical signal dataset; generating an analysis based upon the first and the second bioelectrical signal datasets; and providing a behavior change suggestion to the user based upon the analysis. The method can further comprise collecting a third bioelectrical signal dataset associated with a performance of an action by the user in response to the behavior change suggestion; generating an adherence metric based upon the third bioelectrical signal dataset and at least one of the first and the second bioelectrical signal datasets; providing a stimulus configured to prompt an action by the user; and providing at least one of the analysis and an analysis based upon the adherence metric to the user. An embodiment of the system comprises a biosignal detector and a processor configured to implement an embodiment of the method.
