Abstract: System for the presentation of acoustic information comprising an audio unit, which presents acoustic information to a user, at least one detection unit configured to detect at least one biological marker of the user and a processor unit configured to process a signal from the detection unit regarding the detected biological marker, wherein multiple presentation parameter of the acoustic information can continuously be adapted by the processor unit according to at least one continuously detected biological marker corresponding to a cognitive state of the user, wherein the at least one detection unit is a non-invasive neuronal activity detection unit, which continuously detects multiple biological markers in the form of neuronal activity markers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for visualization of tissue areas insufficiently supplied with blood, in particular in the event of an acute stroke, by evaluation of local fluctuations of a BOLD signal produced and recorded by an apparatus; passed to a data detection device; pre-processed in a first evaluation device for image recognition; subjected to a time delay analysis applied to the BOLD signal data of at least one voxel in a second evaluation device in order to calculate a time dependent positive and negative phase shift of the BOLD signal data; and assigned a reference value which is an estimated time delay between the BOLD signal data of at least one voxel and the entire average time course of a selected region during the recording of the BOLD data in order to estimate modified BOLD signal data which are used to determine at least one area of the hypoperfused tissue.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for visualizing at least one human or animal brain segment in order to aid a stimulation or manipulation of the brain, said method comprising the steps of: (a) predicting the localization of where a stimulation or manipulation effect is or would be, if and when initiated, and determining at least one target brain segment which is or would be stimulated or manipulated; (b) evaluating whether at least one brain segment is functionally correlated to said at least one target brain segment; (c) providing image data which visualize the at least one target brain segment and/or at least one of the correlated brain segments as evaluated in step (b); and (d) displaying the image data.
