  • Method of detecting potential migraine onset
    Patent number: 10932041
    Abstract: A method of outputting a warning indicative of potential migraine onset includes controlling a display of an electronic device to display, to a user, test stimuli of at least one spatial visual contextual test that is a perceptual analogue of centre-surround neuronal responses in human vision, and receiving, via an input device of the electronic device, at least one response of the user to the test stimuli. The method also includes processing the at least one response of the user to obtain test outcome data, and outputting a warning indication of potential migraine onset to the user if the test outcome data is outside an expected range for daily fluctuation in test outcome data.
