  • Patent number: 10835746
    Abstract: A method for identifying at least one cortical stimulation site in a subject for the application as a target that can be used for treatment of a psychiatric/neurological disorder related to a deep brain region of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex including the subgenual and rostral anterior cingulate by using a first focal-neuromodulation technique, said method comprising: applying pulses of a second a focal-neuromodulation technique to different cortical areas of said subject; simultaneously with the application of said pulses at a cortical area measuring a psychophysiological signal representative of a heart rate of the subject for said cortical area, and when observing a systematic change in psychophysiological signal, identifying a corresponding cortical area as at least one cortical stimulation site that is functionally connected to said deep brain region of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex including the subgenual and rostral anterior cingulate for presenting said target for the treatment.

  • Publication number: 20190054370
    Abstract: An apparatus, an element for a game assembly, and a game assembly apparatus. The apparatus includes a three-dimensional body having a geometric shape and which is displaceable between an initial state and a goal state that is different from said initial state. A motion-restriction function is to limit the displacement of a centre point of the body with respect to a centre point of another body along a trajectory. At least one sensor is to provide input regarding the presence of another body in contact with the body and which is to allow the displacement of the body based on the input. A computer program is to allow displacement of the body based at least part of on a factor of randomness.
