Patent number: 11810474Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing virtual feedback of a neural pattern to create a neural pathway corresponding to an action of an affected limb of a brain injury patient. Embodiments provide for detecting a neural pattern and determining a target action associated with the detected neural pattern. A virtual feedback is generated that includes a virtual action to be performed in a virtual representation of the affected limb. In embodiments, the brain injury may prevent the affected limb from performing the target action. The virtual representation of the affected limb is superimposed over a real-world presence of the affected limb such that the virtual representation is presented to the patient in lieu of the real-world presence, and the virtual action is performed in the virtual representation, such that the virtual action is presented to the patient in lieu of the target action in the real-world.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Neuromersive, IncInventor: Veena Somareddy

Patent number: 10986994Abstract: According to various embodiments, a stress detection and alleviation (SoDA) system for a user is disclosed. The system includes a SoDA device configured with one or more processors that receive wearable medical sensor (WMS) data from a plurality of WMSs. The processors are programmed to remove one or more artifacts from the WMS data, extract a set of features from the WMS data, remove correlated features from the extracted features to obtain a reduced set of features, classify the reduced set of features in order to determine whether the user is stressed, and generate a response based on whether the user is stressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2017Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: THE TRUSTEES OF PRINCETON UNIVERSITYInventors: Ayten Ozge Akmandor, Niraj K. Jha

Patent number: 10959640Abstract: A training apparatus 1000 using a method of decoding nerve activity includes: a brain activity detecting device 108 for detecting brain activity at a prescribed area within a brain of a subject; and an output device 130 for presenting neurofeedback information (presentation information) to the subject. A processing device 102 decodes a pattern of cranial nerve activity, generates a reward value based on a degree of similarity of the decoded pattern with respect to a target activation pattern obtained in advance for the event as the object of training, and generates presentation information corresponding to the reward value.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: ADVANCED TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTE INTERNATIONALInventors: Mitsuo Kawato, Takeo Watanabe, Kazuhisa Shibata, Yuka Sasaki

Patent number: 10796598Abstract: Provided is a functional learning/training device and methods for forming a sleeping function, which is distinct and independent of general sleeping function, and which enables the user to fall asleep quickly by overcoming the phenomenon of insomnia. When a new sleeping condition is set by actively generating visual activity every night, the phenomenon of insomnia may be solved, such that the user can fall sleep quickly and further, ultimately, with the use of the newly formed sleeping function, even without the use of the present invention, the user can solve the phenomenon of insomnia easily and fall asleep, as if a normal person sleeps in a general sleeping function under general circumstances.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Inventor: Keun-Young Yoo
