  • Patent number: 9390627
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object is provided. The method includes selecting a visceral response-evoking image for evoking a desired trainee response, wherein the desired trainee response is selected to correspond with the object, displaying a stimulus image depicting the object, wherein the instructions to display the stimulus image are to display the stimulus image within view of a trainee for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee, and displaying the visceral response-evoking image within view of the trainee after the display of the stimulus image and to display the visceral response-evoking image for a second duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee in an attempt to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee in a manner characterized by an absence of conscious awareness of the link by the trainee.

  • Publication number: 20150379401
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social network perception representation based on communicative acts between a plurality of communicative pairs where each communicative pair includes a first group and an individual or a second group participating in corresponding communicative acts. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors and a score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs.

  • Publication number: 20150379402
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts, between a plurality of communicative pairs, to determine a social network perception representation. Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a corresponding one or more of the communicative acts. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The communicative acts include non-verbal communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs.

  • Publication number: 20150339336
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts between communicative pairs to determine a social perception network representation. Each communicative pair includes two entities participating in a communicative act. The system includes a patterns database storing behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a social perception score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor determines a first pairwise social perception score for each communicative pair based on the particular behaviors in the communicative acts occurring during a first time frame. The scoring processor determines a different first pairwise social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a first time frame and determines a different second social perception score for each of the communicative pairs during a second time frame.

  • Patent number: 9053421
    Abstract: A system for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social perception network based on communicative acts between a plurality of communicative pairs. Each communicative pair includes two communicating entities. The system includes a patterns database, a scoring processor, and a communications network aggregation processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular behaviors and a score associated with each of the particular behaviors. The scoring processor is configured to determine a pairwise social perception score for the communicative pair based on the particular behaviors identified in the communicative acts. The scoring processor is configured to determine a different pairwise social perception score for each one of the plurality of communicative pairs. The communications network aggregation processor is configured to combine the pairwise social perception scores for each of the plurality of communicative pairs into a social perception network.

  • Patent number: 8825584
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for evaluating communicative acts to determine a social regard score between two communicating entities participating in the communicative act. The two communicating entities collectively define a communication pair. The system includes a patterns database and an etiquette processor. The patterns database stores behavior recognition patterns defining particular redressive behaviors that may be used in the communicative acts and a redress score associated with each one of the particular redressive behaviors. The etiquette processor is in communication with the patterns database and is configured to determine a pairwise regard score for the communicative pair based on ones of the particular redressive behaviors identified in the communicative acts between the two communicating entities of the communicative pair.
