Patent number: 11883671Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods for treating medication refractory epilepsy are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of treating epilepsy is disclosed comprising detecting, using a first electrode array coupled to a first endovascular carrier, an electrophysiological signal of a subject. The method further comprises analyzing the electrophysiological signal using a neuromodulation unit electrically coupled to the first electrode array and stimulating an intracorporeal target of the subject using a second electrode array coupled to a second endovascular carrier implanted within a part of a bodily vessel superior to a base of the skull of the subject.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignees: Synchron Australia Pty Limited, The University of MelbourneInventors: Nicholas Lachlan Opie, Thomas James Oxley, Gil Simon Rind

Publication number: 20240019933Abstract: Universal switch modules, universal switches, and methods of using the same are disclosed, including methods of preparing an individual to interface with an electronic device or software. For example, a method is disclosed that can include measuring brain-related signals of the individual to obtain a first sensed brain-related signal when the individual generates a task-irrelevant thought. The method can include transmitting the first sensed brain-related signal to a processing unit. The method can include associating the task-irrelevant thought and the first sensed brain-related signal with N input commands. The method can include compiling the task-irrelevant thought, the first sensed brain-related signal, and the N input commands to an electronic database.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Synchron Australia Pty LimitedInventor: Peter Eli YOO

Publication number: 20230389851Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for controlling a device based on the detection of transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts are disclosed. For example, a method can comprise detecting one or more transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts from an ongoing neural signal recording of a subject. The method can also comprise extracting one or more burst features from the one or more transient oscillatory or pseudo-oscillatory bursts detected within a detection period. The method can also comprise predicting a thought generated or conjured by the subject or a change in mental state evoked by the subject by applying at least one of a machine learning algorithm and a feature threshold to the one or more burst features extracted within the detection period. An input command associated with the prediction can be transmitted to the device in order to control the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Applicant: Synchron Australia Pty LimitedInventors: Idan TAL, Peter Eli YOO

Publication number: 20230218198Abstract: Systems and methods for neurofeedback training are disclosed. In some embodiments, a brain-computing interface system comprises a recording device configured to record a brain activity of a subject and a computing device communicatively coupled to the recording device. The computing device can comprise one or more processors programmed to generate at least one of an auditory feedback, tactile feedback, and a neurofeedback graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a plurality of graphics representing the brain activity of the subject. The neurofeedback GUI, the auditory feedback, and the tactile feedback can aid the subject in producing brain activity that align with a desired intention of the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Synchron Australia Pty LimitedInventors: James BENNETT, Peter Eli YOO, Nicholas Lachlan OPIE
