Abstract: Brain activity of a user is detected, and a mental state of the user is determined. In one technique, life/work context is automatically presented to the user in a manner that modulates the mental state of the user. In another technique, an entertainment selection is presented to the user, and an entertainment selection list is automatically modified in response to the determined mental state of the user. In still another technique, the mental state that is determined is a negative emotional state, and life/work context is automatically presented to the user in a manner that promotes a cognitive state of the user in response to the determined emotional state of the user. In yet another technique, the wellness of the user is automatically tracked over a time period based on the determined mental state.

Abstract: A magnetic field measurement system, non-transitory computer-readable medium or method can include instructions for, or performance of, actions including receiving output of multiple first magnetic field sensors and multiple second magnetic field sensors; and demixing, using the output of the first and second magnetic field sensors, at least one signal from at least one target source from signals from other magnetic field sources. The demixing may be performed using a model in which the output of the first magnetic field sensors includes the at least one signal from the at least one target source and that the output of the second magnetic field sensors does not include the at least one signal from the at least one target source.
