Publication number: 20230055962Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for administer multiple stimulus to a patient in order to improve the efficacy of the administered stimulus on the brain activity of the patient. Exemplary embodiments described herein may combined magnetic stimulation along with sensory stimulation to influence the intrinsic frequency of an EEG band of a person.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: James William Phillips, Alexander Ring

Publication number: 20220400995Abstract: The invention allows an accurate and automated method and system for determining an intrinsic frequency of an EEG band of a person. Intrinsic frequency values (specifically the intrinsic alpha frequency (IAF)) are used to diagnose mental disorders and detect brain anomalies in a person. At present, these estimates are inaccurate for the population that has EEG with low energy in the EEG band. By combining the EEG recording with a stimulus (e.g., light, sound, touch, etc., or a combination), it is possible to determine the IAF, due to the resonant properties of the brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Wave Neuroscience, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Ring, James William Phillips, Robert Isenhart, Alfred Jennings Walke, Erik Won
