Abstract: Provided herein are embodiments of a Quadruple Butterfly Coil (QBC) configuration having enhanced focality for stimulation of specific areas of a brain for therapeutic treatment. Finite element simulations were conducted for the QBC, the QBC with a single shield, and the QBC with a double shield. The stimulation profiles for these coil configurations were assessed with 50 anatomically realistic MRI derived head models. The coils were positioned on the vertex and the scalp over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to stimulate the brain. Computer modeling of the coils was performed to determine volume of stimulation, maximum electric field, location of maximum electric field, and area of stimulation across all 50 head models for both coils.

Abstract: A Brain-Mobile Interface (BMoI) system is provided. A control circuit is configured to execute a predictive model to generate a defined number of predicted signal features in future time based on a number of signal features extracted from a first type sensory data (e.g., electroencephalogram (EEG) data). A predicted future mental state(s) can thus be generated based on the number of predicted signal features and used to trigger a corresponding action(s) in a BMoI application(s). In a non-limiting example, a second type sensory data (e.g., electrocardiogram (ECG) data) can be used to improve accuracy of the predictive model. By using the predicted signal features to generate the predicted future mental state(s) to control the BMoI application(s), it is possible to duty-cycle the BMoI system to help reduce power consumption and processing latency, thus allowing the BMoI application(s) to operate in real-time with improved accuracy and power consumption.
