  • Patent number: 9830830
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object and monitoring the trainee to determine when the trainee subconsciously identifies the object is provided. The method includes using a processor to select a visceral response-evoking image for evoking the desired trainee response corresponding with the object, attaching a sensor to the trainee for detecting trainee biological responses, and providing instructions to display a stimulus image depicting the object for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee. The method includes providing instructions to display the visceral response-evoking image after the display of the stimulus image and for a duration below conscious awareness of the trainee to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee, and detecting trainee recognition of one of the one or more objects based on the biological response data linked to the desired trainee response.

  • Patent number: 9754502
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a trainee to determine when the trainee subconsciously identifies an object previously associated with a desired trainee response includes attaching at least one biological response sensor to the trainee and receiving biological response data of the trainee from the at least one biological response sensor. The method further includes comparing the biological response data of the trainee to biological responses linked to different ones of a plurality of trainee responses using a processor in communication with the at least one biological response sensor, the plurality of trainee responses including the desired trainee response, and detecting trainee recognition of the object previously associated with the desired trainee response based, in part, on the biological response data being linked to the desired trainee response included with the plurality of trainee responses. The desired trainee response is below the conscious awareness of the trainee.

  • Patent number: 9390627
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a trainee to identify an object is provided. The method includes selecting a visceral response-evoking image for evoking a desired trainee response, wherein the desired trainee response is selected to correspond with the object, displaying a stimulus image depicting the object, wherein the instructions to display the stimulus image are to display the stimulus image within view of a trainee for a first duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee, and displaying the visceral response-evoking image within view of the trainee after the display of the stimulus image and to display the visceral response-evoking image for a second duration that is below conscious awareness of the trainee in an attempt to link the desired trainee response to the object in a mind of the trainee in a manner characterized by an absence of conscious awareness of the link by the trainee.
