Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for deploying game-based therapy correlated with, but independent from, an executing game program. In general, game content within a display can be improved with an overlay of visual therapeutic content such as a visual indicator of a current emotional or physiological state, along with visual features or effects that alter game difficulty. A variety of visual effects can usefully be integrated with third-party game content with requiring direct computation access to the executing game code. For example, effects such as dimming, fading, pixelating, or fogging can be rendered within active regions of a game window independently from, but correlated with the visual content of, the current game. This is suitable for delivering treatment for a range of cognitive and similar disorders and permits rendering of user-specific therapeutic content in combination with third-party games and gaming platforms.

Abstract: The assembly comprises a band, mountable on the leg, carrying all of the components of the assembly to provide a self-contained unit. The components comprise: electrodes for stimulating a leg nerve; a V-shaped plate for conforming with the leg's tibia to reproducibly position the band so that the electrodes are located over the nerve; a tilt sensor for measuring the angular position of the lower leg; a control circuit for processing the sensor signal information and emitting pulses through the electrodes to stimulate the leg in response to phases of body movement; and a battery for supplying power to the tilt sensor, control circuit and stimulator. By comparing the assembly's stimulation states against a known template defining optimal stimulation states, stimulation threshold parameters can be fine tuned without the need for repeated trial and error testing by the user.
