  • Patent number: 12502110
    Abstract: Systems and methods for gesture control are described. In some embodiments, a system for assessing a physiological state of a user. The system may include the wearable device comprising one or more electrodes configured to be disposed adjacent to an external surface of the skin portion. A first timestamp may be determined. The first timestamp may indicate a first time at which a stimulus is presented to the user. A second timestamp indicating a second time at which the biopotential signals indicate an intention by the user to perform a responsive action may be determined. Based at least on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, determine a subject response time for the user. The subject response time may be compared to a baseline response time for the user to generate an assessment of a physiological state of the user.

  • Patent number: 12455624
    Abstract: Systems and methods for gesture control are described. In some embodiments, a system for assessing a reaction performance of a user engaging with an interactive digital program based on biopotentials detected at an external surface of a skin portion of the user may be provided. The system may include the wearable device comprising one or more electrodes configured to be disposed adjacent to an external surface of the skin portion. A first timestamp may be determined indicating a first time at which a stimulus condition is presented to the user. A second timestamp may be determined indicating a second time at which the biopotential signals indicate an intention by the user to perform a responsive action in response to the stimulus condition. A subject response time for the user may be determined based at least on the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

  • Patent number: 12340627
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable memory for gesture inference. For instance, a first method may include computer vision to train and/or infer gesture inferences. For instance, a second method may include using transformations to data and/or ML models to address inter/intra-session variability of sensor data. For instance, a third method may include using ML model selection to select a ML model to address inter/intra-session variability of sensor data.
