Publication number: 20090328089Abstract: A system performs audience response measurement and tracking using neuro-response data such as central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and effector data. Subjects are exposed to stimulus material such as marketing and entertainment materials and data is collected using mechanisms such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Electrocardiograms (EKG), Electrooculography (EOG), eye tracking, and facial emotion encoding. Data collected is analyzed to measure and track audience response to the stimulus materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: NeuroFocus Inc.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T. Knight, Ramachandran Gurumoorthy

Publication number: 20090327068Abstract: A system performs stimulus targeting using neuro-physiological and neuro-behavioral data. Subjects are exposed to stimulus material such as marketing and entertainment materials and data is collected using mechanisms such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Electrocardiograms (EKG), Electrooculography (EOG), eye tracking, and facial emotion encoding. Neuro-physiological and neuro-behavioral data collected is analyzed to select targeted stimulus materials. The targeted stimulus materials are provided to particular subjects for a variety of purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: NEUROFOCUS INC.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T.

Publication number: 20090030287Abstract: Subjects exposed to stimulus materials such stimulus associated with products and services are provided with incentives to provide response assessments at a point of transaction. The point of transaction has a time and/or location near the point of exposure to the stimulus materials and response collection. In some examples, the point of transaction is associated with a product request, information request, service request, product delivery, information download, service fulfillment, etc. Response data is collected at the point of transaction to more accurately assess user responses to stimulus materials.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: NEUROFOCUS INC.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T. Knight, Ramachandran Gurumoorthy, Ratnakar Dev

Publication number: 20090030303Abstract: Neuro-response data including Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is filtered, analyzed, and combined to evaluate the effectiveness of stimulus materials such as marketing and entertainment materials. A data collection mechanism including multiple modalities such as, Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electrooculography (EOG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), etc., collects response data from subjects exposed to marketing and entertainment stimuli. A data cleanser mechanism filters the response data and removes cross-modality interference.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: NEUROFOCUS INC.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T. Knight, Ramachandran Gurumoorthy

Publication number: 20090024449Abstract: A system performs habituation analysis using central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and effector data. Subjects are repeatedly exposed to stimulus material and data is collected using mechanisms such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Electrocardiograms (EKG), Electrooculography (EOG), eye tracking, and facial emotion encoding. Data collected is analyzed to determine habituation and associated wear-out profiles for stimulus material.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2008Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: NEUROFOCUS INC.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T. Knight, Ramachandran Gurumoorthy

Publication number: 20090024475Abstract: A stimulus compression device determines neuro-feedback significance corresponding to stimulus material and modifies the stimulus material using neuro-feedback significance measures. For example, the stimulus compression device determines portions of a media stream corresponding to low neuro-feedback significance and removes them from the media stream. Compression of stimulus material may involve removal, modification, repetition, bit rate adjustment, resolution adjustment, etc. Transitions can be smoothed or lengthened to further improve processed stimulus material.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2008Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: NEUROFOCUS INC.Inventors: Anantha Pradeep, Robert T.
