Patents by Inventor Bashar Badran

Bashar Badran has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12337166
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for providing noninvasive cranial nerve stimulation and methods for using the same. The present invention administers therapy through electrodes that are noninvasively attached to one or more of a subject's cranial nerve. The systems can be used to enhancing rehabilitation and recovery by improving neuroplasticity and coupling muscle training with feedback.

  • Patent number: 12257392
    Abstract: A method for assisting a user with meditation includes applying, to the user, a distributor at or near a brain portion of the user; operating a signal generator to provide a signal to the brain portion the user, the signal being applied to the brain portion of the user by the distributor, and engaging in one or more meditation practices by the user while the signal is being applied to the brain portion of the user. The signal may correspond to an electrical signal, and the distributor may include an anode and a cathode. The anode may provide the signal to the user, and the cathode may receive the signal from the user to transfer the signal back to the signal generator.

  • Publication number: 20230398348
    Abstract: A system for neurorehabilitation is disclosed that includes a motion detector configured to generate a motion detection feedback signal, a transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation module, and a controller configured to receive the motion detection feedback signal and send a stimulation signal to the transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation module based on the motion detection feedback signal meeting a minimum threshold criteria. A method for neurorehabilitation is disclosed that includes the steps of detecting patient motor activity, determining if the detected patient motor activity meets a minimum threshold criteria, and stimulating a vagus nerve through transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation if the minimum threshold criteria is met.
