Patent number: 12029894Abstract: In an embodiment, an electrical stimulation system can include one or more of an electrode assembly including one or more electrodes and an electronics subsystem. In some variations, each of the one or more electrodes can include a hydrophilic layer and a conductive layer. In some variations, the electronics subsystem can include one or more of a control module, power module, and a stimulus generator. In some variations, the electrical stimulation can further include one or more of an electrical attachment system, mechanical attachment system, head apparel assembly, flexible housing, and/or any other suitable component. The electrical stimulation system functions to apply electrical stimulation but can additionally or alternatively function to measure/and or record one or more biosignals from a user.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2021Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Flow Neuroscience, Inc.Inventors: Brett Wingeier, Ian Shain, Colin Davis, Victoria Hammett, Mardis Bagley, Phnam Bagley

Patent number: 11762466Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for measuring and identifying real-world tremors in order to calculate and display an anti-tremor in a virtual reality world. A system may identify a tremor in a body part, such as hands, and measure the tremor movement from, e.g., body sensors, to calculate an opposite movement and animate virtual hands performing the reverse tremor motion. Depicting inverse motions, such as an anti-tremor, may be used in a few ways to therapeutically train and exercise patients to better control their tremors. Providing a visual cue may help a patient interrupt the movement, as well as provide possibilities for therapy or training muscle memory and stimulating nerve and neuron recovery. By displaying an anti-tremor with virtual hands, a VR system may be used to help train or exercise body parts experiencing tremors.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Penumbra, Inc.Inventors: Arthur John Lockhart, Hans Peter Winold, Andrew Taylor Langley, Colin Davies, Seppo Helava
