Patent number: 11822720Abstract: A wearable computing device with bio-signal sensors and a feedback module provides an interactive mediated reality (“VR”) environment for a user. The bio-signal sensors receive bio-signal data (for example, brainwaves) from the user and include bio-signal sensors embedded in a display isolator, having a deformable surface, and having an electrode extendable to contact the user's skin. The wearable computing device further includes a processor to: present content in the VR environment via the feedback module; receive bio-signal data of the user from the bio-signal sensor; process the bio-signal data to determine user states of the user, including brain states, using a user profile; modify a parameter of the content in the VR environment in response to the user states of the user. The user receives feedback indicating the modification of the content via the feedback module.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: INTERAXON INC.Inventors: Christopher Allen Aimone, Samuel Thomas MacKenzie, Graeme Daniel Moffat, Hubert Jacob Banville, Nicole Hélène Proulx

Patent number: 11815951Abstract: A training apparatus has an input device and a wearable computing device with a bio-signal sensor and a display to provide an interactive virtual reality (“VR”) environment for a user. The bio-signal sensor receives bio-signal data from the user. The user interacts with content that is presented in the VR environment. The user interactions and bio-signal data are scored with a user state score and a performance scored. Feedback is given to the user based on the scores in furtherance of training. The feedback may update the VR environment and may trigger additional VR events to continue training.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: INTERAXON INC.Inventors: Christopher Allen Aimone, Trevor Ce Coleman, Ariel Stephanie Garten, Kapil Jay Mishra Vidyarthi, Locillo (Lou) Giuseppe Pino, Michael Apollo Chabior, Paul Harrison Baranowski, Raul Rajiv Rupsingh, Madeline Ashby, Paul V.

Patent number: 11786163Abstract: A system and method may be provided for associating bio-signal data (e.g. EEG brain scan data) from at least one user with at least one music data item (e.g. song, or piece of music). By associating bio-signal data, or emotions determined therefrom, with music, the system may establish a data store of music associated with emotions. That database may then be leveraged upon determining that a user is feeling a particular emotion through an EEG scan. When a particular emotion is detected in EEG data of a user, the system may then respond based at least partly on the same or similar emotion being associated with one or more music data items in the system. For example, the system may recommend a particular song associated with the same emotion presently being experienced by the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: INTERAXON INC.Inventors: Ariel Stephanie Garten, Christopher Allen Aimone, Trevor Coleman, Kapil Jay Mishra Vidyarthi, Locillo (Lou) Giuseppe Pino, Michael Apollo Chabior, Paul Harrison Baranowski, Raul Rajiv Rupsingh, Madeline Ashby, Paul V.

Patent number: 11743527Abstract: A computer system or method may be provided for modulating content based on a person's brainwave data, including modifying presentation of digital content at at least one computing device. The content may also be modulated based on a set of rules maintained by or accessible to the computer system. The content may also be modulated based on user input, including through receipt of a presentation control command that may be processed by the computer system of the present invention to modify presentation of content. Content may also be shared with associated brain state information.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: INTERAXON INC.Inventors: Christopher Allen Aimone, Trevor C E Coleman, Ariel Stephanie Garten, Locillo (Lou) Giuseppe Pino, Kapil Jay Mishra Vidyarthi, Paul Harrison Baranowski, Raul Rajiv Rupsingh, Tracy Nicole Chong

Patent number: 11696714Abstract: Brain modelling includes receiving time-coded bio-signal data associated with a user; receiving time-coded stimulus event data; projecting the time-coded bio-signal data into a lower dimensioned feature space; extracting features from the lower dimensioned feature space that correspond to time codes of the time-coded stimulus event data to identify a brain response; generating a training data set for the brain response using the features; training a brain model using the training set, the brain model unique to the user; generating a brain state prediction for the user output from the trained brain model, and automatically computing similarity metrics of the brain model as compared to other user data; and inputting the brain state prediction to a feedback model to determine a feedback stimulus for the user, wherein the feedback model is associated with a target brain state.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: INTERAXON INC.Inventors: Christopher Allen Aimone, Graeme Moffat, Hubert Jacob Banville, Sean Wood, Subash Padmanaban, Sam Kerr, Aravind Ravi
